S/PDIF (Optical) audio output?
Un-tick the Dolby and DTS format of the S/PDIF audio output in the Windows audio settings > playback device.
After the configuration, launch powerdvd to check the playback.

Select the Realtek S/PDIF one > Properties > Supported format to set it up.

The above setting will only show when your playform is applying the S/PDIF Optical audio output on the motherboard.

Thanks for your reply . My Audio Setup is Optical cable from Smart TV to Soundbar & HDMI cable from GTX 1050 TI (PC) to Smart TV , so there is no question of S/PDIF for optical audio coming from motherboard . But My Intel PC has standard realtak and Nvidia Audio out put showing in play device and both of them doesnt have dolby + options . although my tv Audio output settings showing PCM and Dolby &+ is hide in it . Crackling sound are very annoying even i removed sound bar and play direct on tv using HDMI output from cyberlink settings same issue. This usually happened with untouched DTS X , Dolby Atmos but some of them work fine.

Per my understanding, powerdvd does not support to decode DTS X or Dolby ATMOS format because Dolby didn't authorize the license, they will be played as DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD instead if your audio content has the backward compatibility.

Suggest you disable the TrueTheater audio enhancement (right click on the [Eye] icon at the playback control bar) on the TrueTheater panel, and then check the playback result.
