I'm experiencing very poor sound quality in some programs. I hear cracks and noises.
Standard Windows system sounds are affected too. Winamp is affected when the WaveOut plugin is selected, but not with DirectSound.
I thought this was a problem with drivers of the integrated sound, so I bought a cheap SBLive SB0220 and installed kx drivers (patched for Windows 10). The card works great, with SoundFonts, ASIO and all, except WaveOut. Still the same problem.
Is this a known issue or I'm just having bad luck?
The sound was good until recently, the problem could have started with one of the Windows 10 updates.
