Crackling Audio - MacOS 15.5.5

Got Success' href='/2020/12/install-macos-catalina-on-supported-pc.html'>Catalina running on my first ever Hackintosh build through AMD Vanilla with OpenCore 0.5.9

MSI B350m Mortar Arctic

Ryzen 5 2600x

AMD RX 5700 XT

Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 3200Mhz 2x8GB

860 EVO 500GB SSD

SMBIOS is set to iMac19,1

Just about everything that i need to work is functional, except my USB’s are acting funny even though terminal is telling me they’re assigned properly. This is the second time i install Success' href='/2020/12/install-macos-catalina-on-supported-pc.html'>Catalina on this build and both times with or without audio kexts (i dont use on board audio) and i have crackling audio. I’ve installed macOS on this pc for the sole purpose of using it as a studio workstation with Logic and an audio rack consisting of a Focusrite 18i20 Gen2. Initially i was driving all my audio through an old Focusrite 2i2 and whenever i played music or tried to record something on logic or garageband the audio would fizzle and sometimes cut out completely. Opted to try a different interface that would need me to manually install some drivers so i tried a Presonus AudioBox USB and the issue is still present, i made sure my sample rates were the same between hardware and software and its all still present. I reinstalled and changed the smbios from macpro7,1 because of a ram issue but the audio crackling is still present. Everything works perfectly fine on my macbook and on the windows end of this pc any help or point in the right direction would be vastly appreciated :)
