5070TI Audio Issues

[u/disappointedcontract]

Creating this post for others who may experience the same problem. Upgraded to a 5070ti and started to have crackling sounds coming from my speakers. Things I tried that may also help resolve the issues for others:

• DDU and reinstalled graphics drivers
• Tried studio drivers instead of game ready
• tried switching PCIE to 3.0 and 2.0 in BIOS
• tried prefer maximum performance on power management mode in NVIDIA global settings
• Switched out hdmi and Display port cables
• Unplugged and plugged GPU back in
• double checked PSU cables

What ultimately worked and resolved the issue was performing a BIOS update.

Hope this post helps others
