Audio popping issue

[XenophineEX]

My processor is also AMD

AMD FX(tm)-6300 Six-Core Processor 3.50 GHz
Installed Ram 16.0 GB @1866
Nvidia geforce gtx 960
mobo msi 970

It has played everything including this quite well, minus the sound issues.

Need to add it is on windows 10 home, (paid for) 64 bit.
Windows 10 Home version 21H2; OS Build 19044.1415

I can also add I have another 12gig's of vram across 3 drives, and 1 drive a solid state for only system performance at 80 gigs a ssd.

Another thing to add it that I have everything set to programs, as that would reap the most benefit here, setting things to background processes won't work. I have also gave the game near realtime processor priority, yet even then it only eats about 40%. The processor is also overclocked and running under 70 degrees at 4.2 ghz.

This is the mobo page https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/970-GAMING/Specification

the main take-away from that mobo page is the audio device: Audio

• Realtek® ALC1150 Codec
- 7.1-Channel High Definition Audio
- Supports S/PDIF output
