Same issue for me tried everything to get down to nitty gritty of this sound issue nothing works. Running a 13700k and a 5080. Went back to MSFS 2020 and no sound issue at all. I also agree that it seems to be when servers are loaded and certain time
If the day.

Iā€™ve had this occur randomly a few times and I always cringe when it happens because my sim typically crashes to desktop within a second or two afterwards.

I always assumed that crackling sound to be a symptom of something far worse.

What THAT might be - I have not a clue! Glad itā€™s logged, though!

May update my bios see if that does anything. I did see this is under investigation by the team.

I updated my bios tonight (coincidence Angus!) and installed the Realtek drivers from Asus for my motherboard and I didnā€™t have any crackling at all. I enjoyed a super smooth crackle and pop free flight all the way until landing when the fps dropped to 10fps for some other unknown reason. I also disabled all unecessary scenery, just in case.
I have no idea if this will help anyone or if it was just a coincidence. YMMV.

Ok good to know as Iā€™m running a Asus Z790-E Iā€™ll try installing the Realtek drivers from Asus thanks for the tip.

I reinstalled the audio drivers from Asus and updated my bios doing a flight now and so far so good. I also connected to a different server via VPN.

Unfortunately a fluke. Just loaded the sim and the crackling/stutters are backā€¦

Seems like a cpu issue probably where itā€™s using multi thread and itā€™s not optimized properly. Other than that itā€™s out of my hands lol. 2020 works no issues. VPNS are good though can connect to different servers that are not being hammered seems to help a lot with scenery loading.

I rolled back to 566.36 and after several different sessions the audio static associated with latency spikes went away. After that, I decided to try the latest driver again, but this time I used the studio driver instead of game driver. Flew two different times and again no audio static. If anything changes, Iā€™ll give an update.
