Sound Cracking/Popping using Soundblaster PCIe Audio Card

Hello SE2 devs, I've been having this issue ever since I installed the game - If I have the game audio come out through my Soundblaster card I get this crackling and popping sounds almost constantly.

If I output the game sound through my monitor, the game audio comes out fine but if there's any sound coming from the game, then any sound coming through the soundblaster still cracks and pops. This includes videos from a web browser and things like that.

I tried to make a recording of this, however nothing gets captured while the game is running (Probably because I'm trying to capture it with the Soundblaster). I made a recording on my phone, however the website doesn't allow .m4a files - so I converted it to .mp3. Can confirm audio has not changed during conversion.

Some things to note - When the game is outputting through the monitor, it's a 50/50 on if it's normal or not, and this changes while playing. Narration, collisions, and using certain tools seem to cause it. When the game sound comes through the soundblaster It's 100% of the time if I'm playing something like music or a video in the background, and you'll hear for yourself what it sounds like with no audio besides the game.
