anyone else watching this with the crackling sounds

note: i fixed this by setting "preferred main sample rate" to "44100" or "48000"

WDM is Windows Driver Model and is one of a few different sound systems to have made it's way into Windows over the years. MME is another, called Multimedia Extension and then you have KS which is Kernel streaming.

I increased WDM's buffer to 704 (from the default 512), and this got rid of the choppy, 'laggy' sound for me that friends have complained about, saying I'm "lagging" and "sound like a robot". Using MME didn't help in anyway.
Thank you SO much for this video. :) I would had been utterly lost without it.
Just hope increasing the buffer didn't cause more of a delay. I'll find out later.

You are the man!! Setting my mic to "WDM" and the computer audio to "MME" was what fixed it for me. I had them both set to "MME" before and it was causing nasty crackling in my mic. Thanks so much for this video!!

So, switching the main output from WDM to MME worked instantly. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

You, sir, have singlehandedly put my suffering to an end. I spent HOURS troubleshooting and all I had to do was switch from WDM to MME :/ THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS :)))

Interestingly, no one on YouTube seems to talk about buffer size except for you. UNBELIEVABLE! Thank you for your video! You're saving folks back from 2019)

I think your bigger issue may have been that you were mixing 44, 100 and 48, 000 Hz audio and I suspect the larger buffer was needed for them convert properly. If you could change those to either all 44, 100 Hz or 48, 000 Hz then the buffer wouldn't need to be as large as there is no conversion needed.

Me, ears in pain while watching with crackling issues: 😶

I apologize I did not watch your video, but only because the comments on this video are great and solved my problems within the first 15 seconds of watching this video. Commenting and liking to boost for algorithm

literally uninstalled drivers, tried changing all sound settings and everything in between and nothing worked. IT WAS THIS SIMPLE. wow thanks for this!!

Thank you! I only had two channels and still got the crackling. I was uploading to YT at the time so maybe that affected the network latency/buffer in some way as well. Either way, switching one channel from WDM to MME worked. Didn't need to touch the buffer sizes.

oh man ! beign dealing with this for a year now, while streaming on twitch had to alt+tab and restart the voicemeeter in the middle of a game to solve it, sometimes more than once in a round, but now thanks to you i understand why it happened and fixed it, THANK YOU
