Popping noise whenever audio starts and stops?
Hello! I am currently encountering a problem with the audio from my PC, I use a USB mixer (for internet radio) and for some reason the audio from my PC started making a pop noise whenever the audio is stopped/started (either automatically at the end or manually stopped/started), I've tried everything from changing my power plan to even sending the device half way across the world for it to be checked out, however they (the manufacturer) couldn't find anything wrong (and couldn't hear the pop), HOWEVER, if I join a discord call (with one channel set as the output for discord) that one channel doesn't have a pop when any other audio is stopped or started, that makes me think its more of a PC problem rather than the device itself? (I have tried another laptop I have, however it also does it on there - Both Windows 11 fully updated).
If your audio interface or mixer has settings for buffer size, try increasing the buffer size in your audio software or in your audio settings. A larger buffer can help reduce pops and clicks.
