Crackly mp3/wav playback (it's not underruns I swear)

[VELLE_music]

I'm still actively troubleshooting this issue, but I'm starting to give up.

I'm on the latest Fl version and I'm using the FL Asio driver at 256 buffer length.
I went to try to remix a song today and discovered something weird. In Fl and Fl only, I get weirdly inconsistent crackle noises when playing back mp3s and wavs in the playlist.
It doesn't occur in my existing projects (that I can notice). Only when I open a new project and load an mp3/wav into the playlist. I tried it across daws with different audio drivers and this only occurs with FL.
The crackling is inconsistent; sometimes it's just constant throughout playback, but other times it gets more intermittent.

I will note that this just started happening today, after i installed some more ram and dusted out my pc.

Tried looking this up but the only crackling that people experience are underrun-related. It's starting to drive me insane so I'm really hoping one of you may know what is going on lol
