How to stop the audio from crackingling and static. I tried adjusting the different audio settings but nothing worked.

try increase audio latency by ten at a time and listen each time to get best. Lower if that makes it better too.

Does this happen to you with all games? All formats? Always, during or after a while?

Yes all games all my ps games are .cue and .bin files it starts as soon as the playstation screen comes up and you can hear it through out the game. It's not the bios as it don't do it with any other core or emulator. I'll make a video of it happening.

You stated that tried all the audio settings do you mean within ra or win?

I mean in ra's general settings and ingame quick menu audio settings? Have you tried different audio drivers?
When was the last time your win or os was installed? Sometimes they get buggy after a while especially if you don't take care of what you install in them.

And in the worst of cases till you find a solution have you considered moving to beetle hw?

I was meaning in retroarch i was adjusting the audio settings. My audio drivers are up to date. I even tried downgrading them to see. Come to think of it also seems like the games are laggy but the games are running at 55 to 60 FPS.

I installed this copy of windows late last year so not even a year yet of win 10 pro x64 being installed. Mostly steam games are installed on my pc with corel video studio x9 installed obs msi after burner origin ubisoft uplay firefox. Is basically all i have installed. I don't try and install to much as it then starts screwing windows up.

I work at a pc repair shop and know a lot about pc's building them fixing them and how to keep them running smooth. But for the life of me i can't figure out why swanstation only has a crackling when the playstation bios logo comes up but beetle hw, beetle and pcsx rearmed don't have that crackling sound during the bios. Well one of them i think don't use the playstation bios i could be wrong. In games you can hear it but not as bas as when it's on the bios during bootup.

I think my pc should be powerful enough as it has a ryzen 9 3900x 32 gb ram and a 2060 super. I'm also using the onboard audio that is on my asus rog crosshair viii hero x570.

Ok so this happens or starts when the bios screen comes so did you try skipping the bios?
And for the rest yes, you clearly explained that both your pc and os are ok and you understand all very well.

in RA check: 'audio> settings> resampler' should be set to sync and 48000 hz also check 'audio> settings> syncronization' is On.
in windows check 'settings> sound> device properties> additional device properties'
also set to 24 bit, 48000 hz (studio quality)

Yes to all. It was ll set to that.

Try both Xaudio and Dsound drivers in RA

also try deleting retroarch.cfg or rename it retroarch.old if you don't want to loose valuable settings, and see if that fixes it.

This could even be choking render. Run game and try change to dx11 or Vulkan etc. (Settings>Drvers>Video). Close game, close emulator. Try to run again.

See when i first started using swanstation i put it on dx11 but when i just checked it was back on vulkan somehow. Switched it back to dx11 and no problems. I didn't think to look into video since i already changed that.

Nice! Good luck playing!
Sometemims you can tell, when game running, open emulators quick menu, and navigating menus feels "laggy".
