Static noise in background whenever audio plays when running Bootcamp

I've been noticing a staticky noise in the background whenever I play audio when running Bootcamp in my 2017 27" 5K iMac Pro. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling audio drivers, installing Windows Support Software, and switching out the headphones seem to have no effect on the static noise. A clean install of Windows also did not fix the problem, and I also replicated the issue on another identical iMac.

Background Sounds Stops Abruptly After I updated to MacOS Sequoia background sounds keep stopping all of a sudden. I always use dark noise when I work so it's pretty annoying. Some people asked the same question about a year ago but I couldn't find any answers. I never had this problem before I updated to MacOS Sequoia. Does anyone know a solution to this?

Random milliseconds of Silence in Audio playback on Mac M1 Several users using audio interfaces from the high end studio manufacturer RME Audio experience problems with audio playback in Cubase, Logic, Protools, Safari, Spotify and other apps. Some have reported that disabling system sounds help. Others have problems without system sounds. The manufacturer RME claims this is caused by Apples changes in the Ventura OS. This situation has been going on for many months and Apples support said they were not aware of this problem and suggested updating OS to latest version or swapping USB ports. The problem is that in middle of playback some bits are lost and a short break of some milleseconds or ut to a second of silence occurs before audio returns. This has been noticed on several different computers with M1 chips. Problem remains.
