Audio popping issue

[Livilda]

The only Ryzen users getting the issue now have a system configuration issue present, its been narrowed down to either the system memory not being configured to run at its intended performance profile (jdec ddr4 is slooooooooow) or constant pcie bus errors with Gen 4 combinations and usb headsets.

On 9/10 ryzen setups tested, this issue doesn't exist, the one that did had a cpu swap and riser replacement and the issue was resolved.

consistent correctable PCIE errors on the AMD platform are intricately connected to USB and Audio device issues on Ryzen processors.

The problem with this is, I built this machine in late 2020, just after the launch of the Radeon RX 6000 series. I never had this problem for the entire year prior playing FFXIV until Endwalker released. If it were either of these issues were the cause, they would have been present before Endwalker.
Second problem: My RAM is running at its intended DOCP, and my headset is connected over bluetooth, not USB.

My RAM is running at its intended DOCP, and my headset is connected over bluetooth, not USB.

DOCP is a different term for XMP (Intel has a copyright on the name XMP) and XMP is memory overclocking, sorry.

The other problem is, AMD has serious issues with USB in their platform. That is the reason why it is very important to install the newest BIOS avaiable for the motherboard. There are many USB fixes/mitigations in the current AGESA version.

And they also have issues with PCIe 4.x. There are also BIOS versions which fix/mitigate those issues but it is not a 100% thing. Switch to PCIE 3 and maybe the issues will go away. And no, it has not an impact on the performance.
