Hello, I have downloaded the newest AMD graphics update because I had some issues while playing games. After downloading the update I started noticing that the audio on my computer started to crackle at random times. I've tried using High Definition Audio drivers but after a reboot they start to crackle depending on the sound that is playing. What can I do to fix this?
