X5 Static Noise and Audio Pops on latest driver

Happily using G6 then upgraded to the X5 a few days ago, weird audio issues start coming out.

Contacted the tech support. Tried re-installing everything, disabled on-board and changed the Windows settings (High performance mode / disabled fast boot) as they suggested. Still randomly get a static-only noise over time and had to turn it off for 10 mins to recover.

Don’t know whether this is a hardware issue or driver issue. I am on Win 11 and latest driver / firmware.

Any thoughts or fix?
