    Sound cracks and pops then switches from usb headset to speakers


    Windows 7 on Gigabyte gaming MB with realtek HD audio. Installed iCUE because have Corsair mechanical keyboard. That's when problem started. Uninstalled iCUE problem stayed. Can't roll back with restore as get message 'program stopped access to files' or something close. Gamecom 780 headset but unable to install drivers and associated software as get code 52 for driver. Turned off external speakers power, and it will crack and pop for a second or two then ok, can't switch, so that's a help.

    Hi BlueAngell,
    Welcome to SevenForums!
    Have you run sfc /scannow from Administrative CMD?
    Have you considered a repair install?

    The problem occurs quite often using headset plugged into a usb on Corsair K70 vengeance keyboard. It uses a pass-thru usb cable plugged into the back of my PC. Changing the headset to one of the usb plugs on the front of PC almost fixed the problem. The crackling popping and PC stutter/momentary freezing still occurs but almost never.

I can hear sound through my headset which is connected by a USB. However, even though my speakers are turned on and are not muted there is no sound coming through. Disconnecting the headset does not help. I am using Windows 7 Home Premium with 64 bit

Heyo! I have some serious audio issues that seems to point to some type of hardware or driver I recently installed. I have a lot of popping, cracking and stutters that actually make video playback stutter when it happens too. I play a lot of video games, it doesn't seem to impact games outside...
Greetings community, This is a very weird problem which I never had before. When I'm in gaming sessions such as WoW, CoD and more even 8ball pool... the sound from headphones just "cut" and goes to speakers. So while gaming it's alright but when the sound gets "Loud" it just stops working...
