I am having issues with audio crackle and distortion while using ppsspp.
The issue started as constant crackling, present in multiple games, here is an example from 2

after posting on the ppsspp forums and some adjustments to audio drivers the crackle went from being constant to only when certain sound effects are playing, the thunder effect in the first battle of Final Fantasy Tactics, as well as some of the menu loading options in Valkyria chronicles 3.
However with the reduced crackle, new audio distortions popped up at certain segments of the music tracks, heres an example:

The theory is that I am using a dedicated sound card which is not as common these days and could be the likely variable causing the issue. For completion sake here is a list of my current hardware just in case its not that or a combination of things
Intel Core I7 7700k 4.20 GHz
16gb ddr4 ram
windows 10 64bit
asus geforce gtx 960 strix
gigabyte z270x ultra gaming motherboard
asus xonar dgx sound card
also here is a link to the ppsspp forum thread with all the suggestions made to try and attempt the fix
