Audio Crackling with audio interface
Ok so for some reason this game is the only game I've ever played that has an issue with my Scarlet 2i2 3rd Gen. After an hour or so of gameplay, the audio starts glitching and crackling, the only thing I can do to make it less bad is to change any setting in my Focusrite driver settings but this only lasts like half an hour until the issue returns. I've tried simply plugging a pair of headphones into the mobo but the problem is that the audio is SO LOW. So whether I use my audio interface or the motherboard, I'm screwed. Anyone have any ideas for a fix? Or is it a lost cause?

For the low level audio, I use a prog called equalizer APO, which allows you to put preamp in to any audio interface. My problem is the low mic volume in these Corsair headphones and I use it to pream the signal about +10db which makes it stellar.

I've had random cracklings in this game. They seem to be when they appear just on the loading screens though. Never really noticed any distinct cracklings in game and if they do appear they are only in the VOIP.

I have the Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen. I was getting popping and crackling if the sample rate is on 48KHz. Changing it to 44.1 KHz fixed the sound issues for me.

This happens even with the sample rate on 44.1... basically, it fixes itself once I make any change in the interface mixing, but after a while it comes back. It seems random, sometimes the problem stays solved for an hour or two, other times it comes back with barely 10 minutes of gameplay... it's honestly quite annoying.

Thanks dude, I'll try the app right now!
