CSGO Audio (Popping, Crackling)

[Smokeypalms]

After picking up my razer kraken 7.1 i noticed an awful crackling and sort of popping while playing CSGO. Im guessing it is the games fault as other sounds are working fine while guns noises etc. sound like my headset just broke. Was guessing it maybe hade something to do with the 7.1 aspect of the headset buy idk... Thanks for any help you can get to me! :D (Have tried the common "change USB ports)

Turn off surround sound and set the in-game audio to stereo

I have the same headphones and the same issue. Did you fix it?

I can't give you any specific solution, but I will say this - process of elimination.

Try looking at the chain of connectivity here - headphones, through cable, through port, into driver, onto processor and so on.

Try addressing one point at a time and you can find out where the issue lay.

Typically, for thing like headphones, I would first find out if it's the headphones themselves and plugging them into something else entirely will likely tell you the answer.

Once you've exhausted that, move onto the drivers and so on.

Also, try it on a number of games to see if it persisits. Might just be a CSGO thing, and you don't want to chase ghosts.
