Title:
Sound BlasterX G6 - Clicking/Popping on sudden sounds, profile changes and after silence (even after new cable)

Post:

Hi everyone,

I'm having persistent clicking and popping issues with my Sound BlasterX G6 and I've tried several things but couldn't fully solve it. I wanted to ask for advice from people who had similar problems.

My Symptoms:

• Clicking/popping sound when someone starts speaking after a few seconds of silence.
• Sudden loud sounds (someone shouting) cause a click or pop.
• Clicking when changing profiles, EQ or SFX in Sound Blaster Command.
• Small clicking when rapidly changing volume in Spotify and browser (YouTube/Google).
• Sometimes a physical click comes from the device itself on PC boot, and rarely during settings changes (feels like the device resets).
• When Smart Volume is enabled, I also hear a small background "dip" sound and sudden volume spikes when someone starts talking.
• Spotify and browser have more issues, while changing volume inside Sound Blaster Command itself doesn't cause problems.

What I’ve Tried:

• Replaced the original cable with a new Ugreen braided Micro USB cable.
• Disabled USB Selective Suspend completely via powercfg commands.
• Tried different USB ports on the back of the motherboard (both USB 2.0 and 3.0).
• Switched to Microsoft USB Audio 2.0 driver (had detection issues, G6 disappeared after unplugging/replugging, so I switched back to Creative driver).
• Turned off most effects in Sound Blaster Command (Smart Volume was on and made sudden sounds much worse).
• Lowered overall volume level.

Current Situation:

Even after changing the cable and disabling Smart Volume, the clicking still happens (especially on sudden loud sounds and after silence). It improved a bit with the new cable but didn't go away completely.

What I Haven’t Tried Yet:

• Clean reinstall of Sound Blaster Command + firmware
• Checking DPC latency with LatencyMon
• Trying a completely different cable brand
• Using the Microsoft driver again more carefully (after fixing detection)
• Checking BIOS USB power settings

Has anyone experienced similar issues with the G6 (clicking on sudden sounds, after silence, or when changing settings)?
What finally worked for you? Any suggestions on what I should try next?

Thanks in advance. btw i think device is not have a problem problem is surround or something , if anyone have a settings pls share with me ,
