Unfortunately, you'll have a whole different set of issues. Mainly frame rate, resolution, texture quality, general graphics and over priced games....
Just upgraded from a 4070ti to a 5080 and now I have sound issues, help!

Completely unnecessary, especially considering both cards are NVIDIA.

Yeah i nearly bought a 5080 coming from a 4070ti, but I'm just gonna wait for the 6000 series I think. I upgraded cpu rrom a 5600x to a 7800x3d and to ddr5 in the summer and that gave me a massive boost in performance.

You fix this, OP?
Does the crackling happen when playing YouTube videos?
Does it happen if you boot into Safe Mode?
Does it happen if you plug in earphones (try 3.5mm and USB if possible)
Can you remove some USB devices (play with a wireless controller) to see if there's interference there?
Are you able to try the new GPU in a different machine or re-seat the old GPU to see if the sound issues stop?

I only care about sound in my games.
So you're the one they added that "visual impairment" mode to modern driving games for.I only care about sound in my games.

True. It's weird to me how often I see "you should do a clean Windows install" or "you should format your drive" like an universal solution.
You don't even need to use DDU for regular driver updates. It's a good tool to use if you are having issues already.
I've been running Intel iGPU, Nvidia and AMD drivers on the same OS. No issues.
The only problems I had recently were the Nvidia drivers acting up some months ago, and I was running just the Nvidia drivers at that time.

I'm having the same issue. I thought it was a shit windows update.
Download latencyMon and take a look.
Proper doing my nut in.

Are you using HDMI audio as well?

it found problems, it says could be network related and one problem could be related to power management and to disable cpu throttling in control panel

sure for a extra 3 grand , damn rookie lol
not fixed yet!
yeah it has a slow down too hence why the audio issue,even watching youtube, so Ill try my old card with the new psu and see if its the psu the problem, Im guessing it is ,

nope not yet, messing around with shit, wondering if I should wipe clean windows before switching gpu

first you need to figure out if the issue is only with gpu-audio, or if it's system-wide (issue also happens with onboard audio)
had terrible ground hum during last gpu upgrade; gpu audio was terrible, and onboard was bad too (just not as bad)--ended up getting a ground loop isolator that plugs into the psu and now its dead silent.

I think there's programs like HWiNFO, HWMonitor, or Open Hardware Monitor that'll show power usage. Maybe keep an eye on that whilst: idling, loading a YouTube video, launching a game etc?

Stupid question, but have you tried swapping to new hdmi cable? There are weird compatibility issues with cables sometimes with different cards.
VeganElduderino
Member
ill give it a try now , why not! I know sometimes it can be so damn stupid
well, I got excited for a sec , I booted Re4 remake , played fine no weird sound problems , went back to youtube and the shitty sound is back!
tried Sonic racing , yep that screeching shitty sound is back

Run your Nvidia driver installer again, click Custom, then uncheck HD Audio Drive and USB-C driver.
Get the HD Audio and USB drivers from your motherboard manufacturer's website, and update your UEFI if you haven't from stock.
They'll do revisions for the first two years after it's released, but they always ship with the stock drivers.

ok hares a update , I installed the 4070ti and it has 0 audio issues.......so either its 5080 the problem or just a driver issue, I'm guessing
what you guys thinK?

Is your PSU actually supplying enough power to the 5080? Like are you doing some weird daisychaining that is limiting its power?
VeganElduderino

good question! this is a 1000w psu, I don't see why there would be a problem...I had a 750w before with the 4070 and 0 issues

Both the 5090 and the 4070ti are plugged into your new PSU using the 12v 6+6 pcie gen5 plug right?
So either your open box PSU that isn't delivering enough power on the 12v lines or you have a faulty new GPU.
Unless you can put your hands on another PSU, I don't know how you're going to test it.

I had sound issues not entirely different to your own.
Try this:
1. Go to device manager
2. Uninstall your Nvidia high definition audio device (your TV) under 'audio inputs/ outputs'
3. Restart the pc
4. Upon restart windows will automatically reinstall the audio drivers (you won't even notice)
5. Just make sure you are using Nvidia high def audio (right click on sound settings in bottom right of windows)
See if that works. I had sound issues and this always fixed it (although temporarily) and then after a while the sound issues just away permanently.
You can also try and switch from NVidia audio to Realtek and back to NVidia. This also worked, but was less permanent.

Can you try the 5080 card on a completely different PC? Like maybe a friend can help you test it?
Can you also try the 5080 with your old PSU? 750W should be enough for it if you remove everything else and only leave the essentials (one RAM stick and one SSD). The GPU itself draws 360W i'm reading. The rest of the 390W should be more than enough for the rest with some breathing room.
Do you have a spare old SSD lying around? You could use that to install a fresh copy of whatever OS you are using and test that too. You don't need to format the one you have before you make sure it's the culprit.

An old one, but have you inspected the edge connector on the GPU? Sometimes they get tarnished (oxidized) making a poor connection requiring a card to either be re-seated and rocked in the (PCIe) slot to shine it like shining an apple, or you can get a fancy piece of rock from someone like RS components, etc - my Dad always has one in his endless electrical and engineering tools- that you can use to shine both sides of the edge connector with to get a clean contact with.
Also inspect the board when seated isn't being warped. Many a time with a new card I've had to empty the system of bus devices, slacken mobo mount screws and seat the GPU to set the mobo position different by a few millimetres and then relock the mount screws to fit it wit zero tension.
probably isn't either of those issues, but being old school with building since the late 80's it is the first thing I do if I get any issue from a fresh GPU install.
/edit
In case it wasn't obvious I was guessing the noise might literally be (north) bridge bus noise.

Not going through this whole thread so I'll start from the beginning
You doing sound through the cards hdmi, display Port?
How is the sound over Bluetooth?
Have you tried a different cable?
Where are you outputting sound from? Tv?monitor?soundbar? Receiver?

tried that it dint work!
I even switched the Vga wired to the 600w one and still dosnt work...
VeganElduderino

yeah through hdmi
not sure about bluetooth
yeah I tried 2 different hdmi
from soundbar

With the 4070ti I get this
hdmi to soundbar

So you're using the other HDMI port on the back to run directly to the soundbar and the other HDMI port to the tv or monitor?

Sound issue usually not related to video card . If it's not a sound driver issue, try a cheap usb speaker if you were connecting AUX. Check if it does the same thing ( or usb headphone )
VeganElduderino
Member
actually no sorry hdmi to tv and sound is blutooth with tv
will do, thanks
Are you sure it's Bluetooth and not something like HDMI Arc, eARC, or optical? A TV going to a soundbar is the worst way you can connect it.
Do you have a DP to HDMI cable or adapter so you can run a second HDMI cable directly to the soundbar and try getting audio that way?

but it cant be the problem , since I just tried the old gpu my 4070ti and it works fine , the 5080 starts every video with static crackling noises then it becomes good....I tried Re4 earlier and it was fine than I tried another game and it started again
//DEVIL//

I had the same problem with my cheap speaker before I upgrade to a wireless Logitech one with a subwoofer. So I know the feeling lol. But no I highly highly highly doubt it's the video card
You mentioned crackling in other posts, but it's only at the start and then it's fine for the rest of the audio until you change the playback to something else?
If so that sounds like an audio syncing issue. Who knows what changed with the audio playback between the two generations. PC directly into the soundcard will let you rule out any possible TV -> soundcard communication. I know you just changed the GPU, but just try it and see what happens.

but when I switch to small version of the youtube video to full screen it does the noises again , weird shit really, I tought maybe if I use the 600w Pcie wire instead of the octopus wires would fix the problem , nope

Only skimmed through the responses, but did you try setting your power management mode on the GPU to "prefer maximum performance", and see if that fixes the issue?

It seems bizarre a PSU problem would cause crackling audio specifically, I would be very surprised if that winds up being the culprit. Typically a borderline failing PSU will either randomly full crash/shutdown/reboot the system, or blue screen with memory dumps flagging core windows kernels as the cause (i.e. ntoskrnl).
My top suspicions would be some software bug/conflict on your install, something wrong with the HDMI chipset or port on the GPU, something wrong the HDMI chipset/port on the TV, or perhaps the HDMI cable itself. I assume you've tried a new HDMI cable, on a different HDMI port of the display, and updating the display's firmware?

where can I find this?
nvm found it
tried this , went to youtube , starts off great , then I put it to full screen and back to normal and it starts with the shitty ass audio and then it fixes itself

I would take a wild guess and say HDMI DSC on the new nvidia card is fucking things up. Your HDMI cable is not handling the high data rates well if my theory is correct. Have you tried lowering your resolution and refresh rate to see if the sound problems disappear?

There is a 10 month old post on Reddit that describes a similar issue, even upgrading from a 4070 to a 5080, and they fixed it by changing their PCIE from "Auto" to "4.0" in the bios. Another person claimed that updating their bios fixed it. Can't hurt to at least change the setting in the bios, even if you don't want to update it.

Go Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D settings > In Global Settings scroll down to "Power Management Mode", click the dropdown that's probably on "normal", and switch to "Prefer Maximum Performance".
Click apply, maybe restart the PC, and then try out some games + youtube videos. If your problem persists, before you RMA the GPU, you could try just buying a new PSU from a store with that generous Holiday Return Policy until mid to late January, and try that out. If that doesn't do anything, and you've clean installed with DDU new drivers...I'd RMA the thing, and not waste your time.
Only other thing I could think of is Windows 11 fuckery recently where October update hurt performance in some GPUs, and they released this Hotfix Driver (download link for it)) that's newer than the more current one on the Nvidia app. Might help with your issue.
