Live Chat Crackles and Pops During Livestreaming

^^ I suppose if you're cheap, it's a good route. I'm just under the impression that no one wants to listen to people snap, crackle & pop every time they talk while using a cheap $5 headset during their livestream.

I'm also hoping that the Crackle APP will change to Crackle Pop, so I can keep saying,

"Xbox Snap Crackle Pop"

I actually have to turn HDMI audio OFF completely and use stereo uncompressed under digital optical just to get my 5.1 surround sound to not "pop/crackle" when navigating menus/playing games. That "pop/crackling" was driving me nuts the system doesnt "pop/crackle"
when set to just TV but nor does my surround system "pop/crackle" when connected to my TV/Xbox 360. Never done that before...did MS cheap out on the audio system for their "all in one" media box or is this an isolated incident with my 2008 phillips surround
I wonder.

I have the same problem, I'm not sure if it happened for me before the fall creators update but it could have been. I have my bitstream format set to Dolby digital and I can hear the crackling and popping when sounds come from the Xbox UI. If I set it to
DTS surround sound I don't hear the crackling but then the audio is off from the video and it's really distracting during movies. I mostly use my Xbox to play blurays.

I have been having a similar problem with audio pops and crackles.

When I have my Xbox One connected to my TV with an HDMI cable and my surround sound receiver plugged into my TVs optical out port the audio pops and crackles (only from the Xbox One, not from any other audio source going into my TV and out to the receiver.)
Yet if I plug my receiver directly into the Xbox's optical port the audio plays normally with no distortion whatsoever. I even tried replacing the HDMI cord but got no results that had no popping or crackling in the audio. Hence leading me to believe that
the HDMI port on the Xbox one is having trouble sending audio to the TV through its HDMI cord as I even tested each of my 4 HDMI in ports on my gaming TV and my living room TV that achieved the same exact popping and crackling audio issues.
