Audio Track quality issue / crackling

After I installed vb audio Cable A, I began to experience some recording issues. These issues were really frustrating and I couldn't seem to get to the bottom of them. I tried a lot of different things to fix them, but nothing seemed to work. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to install cable B, which I think might have been part of the problem. Despite my best efforts, I just couldn't get my recording setup to work properly. Here are some of the issues I was experiencing:

  • Distorted audio quality

  • Difficulty syncing audio and video in post-production

it causes the obs to record in a bad audio

  • it causes the davinci resolve edit page not to work properly

To check installed audacity with choco to sport the issues visually

choco install audacity -y

Direct voicemeter recording no crack over the rode>> problem in obs

Confusion point

Loom using the rode recording > feel the crack > obs and computer codec issue( audio)

When the voice comes over the program other than voicemeter there is an issue

Import the data from rode

Rode files in the back ( sd card )( rode is ok mixer there is no issue at the mixer )

encoding lag > can it be after the parsec ? ( uninstalled did not change )

different bus add it *( usb ) pink cable is dedicated cable to rode

install there is an issue on xsplit that could be normal ?

headphones > echo and screetching issues

clickling and poping >>> hardware check

opencl kind of a problem here>> parallel processing! maybe ?

I feel it is related to the obs right now

audio track quality 44

it could be a problem after the cable a install ( first suspect )

Fragile davinci

audio track quality 45

keep working with xsplit till the obs and davinci is resolved and have an external audio recorder

Todo: ask cable a

Research online

Hardware problems can be caused by outdated or malfunctioning drivers. Make sure your audio driver is up to date and update it if needed. If that doesn't work, try uninstalling the audio driver (it will reinstall automatically). If that doesn't work, try using the generic audio driver that comes with Windows.

Could be related to cross device usage

  • Voicemeeter

  • OBS

they are trying to use the rode at the same time

Some people do it manually

affinity fix and restart

audio track quality 70

to be on the safe side add high to voicemeeter

audio track quality 71

Crackling also gone removed the mix minus on the rode procaster

mitigations to resolve and solve probability

  • remove parsec,vdi 2

  • nuke the obs config 3

  • set affinity and priority 45

  • set to mix minus ( dont feedback ) 50

now today got this error on youtube video

Audio renderer error. Please restart your computer.

Sometimes the Audio renderer error in YouTube may occur due to system lag and various other problems. So, the best way to clear this error is by restarting your system so that the files come back into the memory and thereby fix the basic errors.25 Jun 2023

Unplug your headphones and play a video through the PC's speakers. If you don't get the error, plug your headphones back in. Something as easy as that can fix the problem. If you have more than one playback device, keep the default one plugged in, and disconnect the second playback device.10 Mar 2022
