Audio popping issue

[Vendi]

I'm also strongly suspecting that, while the problem is the same, there are several variants, since there is no shortage of fixes that only works for a few. Even then, I'm yet to hear a success case of a 100% fix. Most of them only fixes it partially or the glitch returns later on.

Curiously enough, though, I'm also using the the very same CPU as you(AMD FX-8350). It got me thinking if it might have nothing to do with AMD-FX after all, but rather with the possibly dated motherboards that support it.

Well some people can run the game no problem with an AMD Phemon X4 or 2, which probably also run on old motherboards (sometimes even the same ones). Considering that I also can play sometimes an hour or 2 before it breaks seems to show that is indeed a bug, which is specific to certain chip architectures. Now the questions what excatly causes it, I have no idea.
