So I've been getting a crackling noise every few seconds when listening to music.
I've deduced it's the system / soundcard. This is what DPC Latency Checker gives me:

I've tried disabling what it recommends, but nothing has helped. What do I do?

I figured it might be my speakers, but plugging in directly to the card still had the crackling noise.
It's just a crackling noise that happens every few seconds when audio is played, which is super, super annoying.

Onboard card? Have you tried both generic drivers and manufacturer specific ones? Are you sure it's the latest revision and actually for your card?

Ended up fixing it, turned out some processes I had running were affecting it. After closing them:
