Oculus Headphones Popping & Crackling as well as cutting off.

Anonymous

Hello, I am having a real problem here with the Oculus headphones that are built into the headset. I have plugged everything in perfectly and all is running great, however the only issue I am having is where the Oculus headphones keep popping and crackling when using the headset. Either playing games or even just on the Oculus Home screen. I always get it where I am on the home screen and the audio just cuts out completely! I have tried disabling my other sound devices in Device Manager, tried swapping USB ports but to no avail the sound keeps cutting out and popping.

This is a brand new Oculus Rift only got it 4 days ago.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! 🙂
