The rear Audio port is trash, I plug my speakers into the mic port on the front and everything is fine. I will use 15% discount for a Sound Blaster AE-7 and get happy. I will never look for a good onboard sound solution, because every dedicated part is still so much better. In the games I really locate the enemies much clearer again, esp. Last week, just for fun, I connected my old Sound Blaster RECON 3D USB and I couldn't believe that this old thing sounds much better than the onboard sound. I thought in the past that the ASUS onboard audio with SS3 would be a very good solution and I played with it 2 years.

But I am not looking to blame anyone really, just looking for the truth, that is simple.Īudio popping and crackles can be solved by disabling the fast boot/start of windows 10 under energy options. Unless the problem totally lies with ASUS not designing the circuitry around the chip well enough.

I would think that knowing how many generation Realtek have been using the similar codec it should be matured enough to have no such issues. Regarding a replacement, I am not comfortable with, unless the mobos have been tested before shipped to guarantee that THOSE mobos won't suffer the same issue. I can not see me doing 2 RMA's which was suggested, because the chances of fixing this is minus 1.

My question is simply are the engineers working on a fix if it can be done with a BIOS update, or if there's anything at all in the works to fix this issue? Especially with all the other members disclosing the same news with their Maximus XI mobos. I for one can confirm after now using 2 brand new Maximus XI mobos, a Code and an Extreme, which both show the exact problem with Audio popping, crackling and skipping etc, that this is not an isolated case.
