Question / Help Crackling/Popping Only When Streaming!

Deflect · Nov 15, 2013

I get this crackling/popping sound only when I stream. When I'm not streaming it's fine. It only seems to happen when I go live. I don't think anyone else can hear it, but it drives me crazy. It seems to happen more often when I'm using things or there's more activity going in a game or when I'm click/browsing the web. I've tried multiple USB ports, 3.0 and 2.0. I've disabled all playback devices and I've left only the USB Headphone/MIC plugged in and it still continues to crackle and pop.

These are the headsets I'm using: http://steelseries.com/us/products/audi ... frost-blue

Alright, here it is.

I already tried it without the web cam too and it still does the same thing. I've noticed it only really does it when there's audio involved. Like music especially and game sounds, etc.

Could you see if it happens without the headset (like to speakers)? I'm just trying to eliminate all the possibilities. Almost always when this happens it tends to be a motherboard or USB issue

Deflect · Nov 15, 2013

I tried it without the headset completely and it doesn't have any sound crackling with the speakers. I tried it with the speakers and only the MIC enabled and it still didn't have any sound crackling, but once I use the sound in the headset it starts popping again. All of this using USB 3.0.

Edit: I just realized it also happens when previewing the stream, not only when it's live... it's really annoying. I can't handle it.

Edit 2: I might just be crazy, but it seems that having Obs minimized doesn't cause an issue with the sound so far.

Edit 3: It actually just helps a little, the more I've had the stream on the less I've heard it. Keeping it minimized helps.

Lain · Nov 16, 2013

I'm not sure there's much I can do to help. Sounds like more of a device issue than an OBS issue. OBS just reads from the device, it doesn't modify the sound from it outside of applying volume.

Question / Help Crackling/Popping Only When Streaming!
