Cracking Popping audio. DPC latency checked. Atheros AR5B87.
I just bought a new Acer Laptop.
I have been experiencing audio issues in the form of random cracks and pops, its really annoying and a relatively powerful computer like this shouldnt be having just simple issues.
I have read a few threads on here with similar issues.
i downloaded DPC latency and was able to isolate the problem to the ATHEROS AR5B97.
I have two atheros devices on my computer (see screenshot)
i frist tried disabling the second one (Atheros AR8151 PCI-E Gigabit ethernet controller NDIs 6.20), no change.
I disabled the first one (Atheros AR5B97 Wireless Network Adapter) and i got no red lines on DPC latency!
now that i have found the problem, what do i do?
Thanks in advance! this forum really is a godsend!
