Audio Crackling driving me insane!

Are you using the latest bios ?

Im 2 versions behind. It's persisted through BIOS updates so far.

Maybe this gives me an excuse to go z370 with dual m.2 slots.

Considering you're saying it's happening ever since you bought them and it persists through wired connection as well, it's possible the headphones are just bad... If you can, go to a store and ask them if they can test other ones as well as yours. If they all do this or just yours, you'll know if they are bad...

Corsair Voids do not have a wired mode, the usb cable is just for charging, so you wont see a difference.

Actually...plugging in wireless headphones to charge while in use can cause electrical noise. Especially if they are cheaper I've noticed
Confirmed on my old wireless corsair. (H2100)

It was electrical buzzing from the power source, had the same on my H2100. Its not really a sound issue.

It did it with my old wired razer headset too. Ive plugged it in and tried it.

There is a wired version (that I do not have)

That isnt what is going on here. I dont charge them while I use them.

Again, not what is going on here.

The issue seems to have been what @natr0n suggested.

For now, I will consider this case closed unless it starts to happen again at which point I will post back.

Thank you to everyone who offered suggestions and guidance!

Which is a different version of these headphones, the wireless ones dont carry data over usb, it is only used for charging.

Again, was not related to the issue you were having.

Old thread but the solution is to lower VCCIO and VCCSA voltages. The XMP profile sets these too high.
I set both to 1.1v and it fixed the problem while maintaining stability.

I can't quite remember what I did to resolve the issue but it did get resolved.

I'm on z390 now

THANK YOU MrMilli !
That trick did it for me.
To another extent, simply disabling XMP profile and going on AUTO instead.
Spent days of looking for a solution to huge audio stutters after updating BIOS.
