Crackling audio after update to 2004

After updating Win10 to 2004, I get crackling audio when I use Razer Surround Pro software. When I switch my audio output, I get normal audio. This only happens when I use Surround Pro.

Edit: Still talking with razer support but I ultimately believe this is an issue with the 2004 update. I hope there's a fix for this soon, although I don't mind still using 1909.

Edit: this is the reply from Razer I got today:

Good day!

We receive an update from our appropriate department that our Audio team is checking on the path forward. Should there be a fix, it will come in the form of a software update. Please check the synapse update from time to time. 

Thanks. 

Edit: I don't understand why, but having bluestacks running in the background fixes the issue.

    Hello? anybody there? 2004 is literally unusable with this bug, may dear people at microsoft would take a look? I'm always blown away how a company can release stuff like that year for year without any consequences.

    It happens for me with my external DAC (Schiit Modi 2) so its not just a razer issue.

    I also got the crackling. I has to be on microsoft's side. It's like windows is starting 2 of the razer drivers/interface/program.

    My work around has been I installed Equalizer APO Here is the link. It has alot more features than razer surround and it's completely free no ads.
