I've signed up to Corsair just to report this issue. I'm also experiencing audio stuttering/ cracking sound after installing ICUE 4.13.226, this happened on 4.12.214. I have a brand new Thinkpad, when I started experiencing this problem I thought it was laptop top issue. And suddenly it hit me that the issue could be due to iCUE, after uninstalling problem solved ! ! ! I tried everthing, reparining the software, uninstalled & removed all foot prints from registery and reinstalled the software but as soon as I install iCUE, sound issue started therefore had to just unistall iCUE..
Hope Corsair fix this soon ! !
