Popping/crackling audio

My Flex 5000a has started having audio popping/crackling problems. I thought it was just received audio, and thought it was my speakers, swapped speakers still there. It Tried some CW and can hear it in Mon as well, with Drive at 0. It does it using CWX as well.  Did some testing, and others can hear it in my SSB audio as well. Running KE9NS 2.8.0.149. One other thing I saw a few months ago, is if I MUTE Speakers only, I would lose my speakers when I unmuted. Had to hit something to get them back, but can't recall what. I thing it was hitting MUT several time. Any ideas how to determine if it is PC or in the radio.

    It's not local interference. I have the exact same problem. It's some sort of digital interruption. It occurs when using PC audio but I don't hear it on the DAX stream. Did you ever get an answer to this?

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
