Crackling audio and video tdr failures with RX 5700 when I install display drivers
Desktop Build:

>GPU: Sapphire RX 5700 Pulse
>RAM: 16GB DDR4
>Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B450-f
>PSU: Corsair TX 650M

Using USB headset. Also tried with regular audio jack headset for same problem
Other drivers I have installed:
https://www.amd.com/en/support/chipsets/amd-socket-am4/b450
The drivers for my wireless adapter
Realtek audio
https://www.amd.com/en/support From here I downloaded the auto-detect version and have also tried the other version.

For these reasons I am convinced the problem is with the display driver specifically and not the power settings, speaker configuration or windows start up settings (common solutions to crackling audio found on google). By the way, the drivers I have to install are not from the sapphire product page. They just tell me to go to the AMD site and use the reference drivers.
I should also add that sometimes I get video tdr failure blue screens. At one point my PC couldn't boot at all.I don't think lack of power is an issue as I have seen a vega 56 (which consumes way more power) run in this set up with a 550 watt supply. Otherwise my card might be DOA, AMD needs to sort their drivers out or I [spoiler:lit]am retarded[/spoiler:lit] accidentally fried it when i connected the power cables wrong (I connected only one 8pin to 6 pin cable at first)
