Answer
When experiencing audio crackling, stuttering, or distorted sound while playing videos, music, or during calls, follow the troubleshooting steps below:
Update Nahimic APO to version 5.0.6
Audio crackling is often linked to an outdated Nahimic Audio Processing Object (APO) driver. Install the latest version:

- Extract the zip file, then right-click the installer and select "Run as administrator".
- Restart your computer and check whether the Nahimic driver has been updated.
