Guys some ago my speakers and my Headphones were working fine and then when I was listening to a song then there were a lot of crackling, I mean that there would be a pause in the original song and there would be crack and then song will resume as usual, also the video is suffering from no stuttering so I am pretty darn sure that its a Audio problem. When I test the Headphones and speakers then also there was a crackle.

I am sure that both my hardware are working fine as I checked them with other PC and they were working fine.

Here is my PC config.

did you mean that your speaker and head phone work fine on another pc? then it should be a problem with mobo,i guess

Actually after deeper analysis I found out that speakers are working fine but my Headphones, I mean Corsair Vengeance 1500 is having too much problem. And it uses USB driver for sound so I don't think that Mobo is the culprit here.

Will try doing it today itself. However a deep Google Search reveals that the root of the problem is DPC latency and I checked it. Its bad in my case but I couldn't find very reliable answer on how to cure it, just some usual hints and all which I already knew. Will try those methods and if nothing helps then OS Reinstall is always the choice. :)

Are you using the headphones in front jack?
