I would recommend trying that Latencymon program if you can to try to see which driver or class of drivers is causing DPC delays.
You could just try disabling wi-fi since that is a common source of these problems on Windows.

Wifi is not normally connected with this computer - I use a USB dongle, and only plug it in to d/l. I will look at the Latencymon thing to see if it finds anything that Task Manager didn't spy out.

If not, then the Focusrite drivers may be the culprit.

I downloaded the Focusrite drivers the day after the problem started. Yesterday I listened to video/audio thoruhg headphones and the built-in soundcard, no crackling.

It's a shame you are having these problems. I hope you get it sorted out.

I was able to d/l the updated drivers before registering, so that's not the issue.
I appreciate all the suggestions, keep 'em coming. I am tempted to just order another computer (Amazon or Walmart refurbished with SSD) because returning it (if the problem persists) would be easy.
