HyperX Cloud Alpha S static/popping from game source

Hello,

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask, sorry if it isn't, feel free to remove this then.

I've been using the Cloud Alpha S for a while. After installing a new MB (went from MSI Tomahawk b450 to MSI Mortar b550) and uninstalling the Realtek HD Audio drive and installing it again from the b550 support page I still have the popping noise.

It only comes from the Game source, my Chat source is fine (people in discord do not cause any popping/static).

It would be a weird coincidence to have my splitter cable fail right after installing a new MB... and when I google i can only find popping/static caused by the mic but not from the game source.

Anyone had a similar issue and found a fix?

I forgot to mention, it is not always having popping/static. Just randomly for a like a minute and then its gone again...
