Hmm. No I pass through my usb headset for sound and microphone. Once I
adjusted the sample rate in was good to go.
I pass through the hdmi audio PCIe device and set the msi interrupt for
good measure though I don't actually make use of it.

Also for a ich6 sound device? Thought the msi interrupts was a 'pass
through' setting when you use the hdmi audio device? Anyway, it's not
listed in regedit in the PCI tree as the amd & virtio devices are so not
sure what to do.
I have to set it to CD quality, any better or worse and the crackles get
really bad

Change the sample rate in Windows to DVD quality.. that made my sound
crackles go away.
Also ensure msi Interrupts enabled.
