    Okay, I just updated my IDT speaker drivers and now my speakers have began to make a pop/crackle noise. You know that sound like when you're connecting a live speaker wire.

    Only things it does this randomly and all by itself. When I uninstalled the latest driver the popping goes away. What do?

    Okay, updated the drivers for the 5th time by uninstalling and using automatic instillation and it appears to be working normally now. No more crackling sounds.
