There was some backside crackling noise, mostly after 50% of the video, example 3:30 - 3:40, I heard crackling noise.

Any advice how to solve this?

Bad board?

I have X370 K4 board and Sennheiser Game Zero headphones and i don't hear anything in 3:30-3:40 range.

But i do hear extensive crackling caused by volume clipping if i set max volume in player. From 2:20 forward and from ~4:00 to ~4:15. I'm not sure if it's normal to hear clipping that much. I will check that with another soundcard.

I loaded that track in audacity and look - clipping.



Edit: Issue only occurs when i connect headphones to front headphones jack. I recconected Front sound header - no change. I don't know if issue is board or my case.

If you are getting what I think you are, I had that problem with both the drivers from Asrock and the latest from Realtek. Using Windows' inbuilt drivers and no problem.

I am using latest Realtek driver from tenforums:

https://www.tenforums.com/drivers-hardware/5993-latest-realtek-hd-audio-driver-version.html

I still notice some crackling but I am prrety sure that there si crackling in those sound because I tested it on my other PC (some older ALC audio) and they are still there.

Example this song (you can download it):

https://files.fm/u/x9bxyrru

This song has massive crackling in itself, but on my PC like all that crackling is on the first row (very noticable) and on my second computer is on the last row (less noticable9. Also when I look some movie, I hear crackiling sound, I rollover to that scene and crackling is there, I tryed that movie on my other PC and it is much less noticable.

My conclusion or it is problem with x370 k4 board (they don`t procces sound good) or just ALC1220 purify sound a little bit too much.

i tried the newest drivers every few weeks is a new one. none of them seem to work at all. Maybe Asrock can get a Driver out? the one on the site predates the Ryzen platform. Still waiting for Asrock to assist in this ongoing problem.

Issue of crackling at 100% volume during volume clipping while using front headphones connector has been fixed in new BIOS. (X370 K4) There is no longer volume difference between back and front connector.

i am on the new bios 3.0 and i do get crackling. i can fix it by disabling the sound in bios and booting up without the onboard sound on. then reboot turn it back on and its good. after a few reboots the crackling comes back.
