- @MASHY347 Hi!do you have any command-line launch options like "-High"
set? if that's true try to remove it and see if it gets any better. One more thing is if you are using virtual sound devices like "voice meeter", set the input buffer higher. if you are not using any virtual devices, the issue can be audio driver as well as system audio buffer size. Google has many results and tutorials teaching you how to change them. Always make a backup point before modifying system-related stuff! @EA_Atic my headset is a steel series arctis pro. headset plugs directly into computer whilst my mic set up is an audio technica 2035 plugged into a focusrite scarlett solo
If you still experience this, change your input in game to something other than the one you use in discord. It's dumb but that worked for me running a rode podmic and a scarlet 2i2 gen 3 getting the same issue.
- @FalseSet Hey man, thanks! This fixed my issue with Discord crackling voice audio. I use Voicemeeter Potato and when I shut it down, the problem went away, so I figured that was the issue. Tried changing the mic input in Apex to something other than what Discord was using and everything plays nice together now.
