I have an MSI Vector 16 HX A14VHG

I tried:

using different streaming softwares -> the issue remains in both OBS and Meld
changing microphones, preamplifiers, ports, cables -> the issue remains
checking for EMI -> no EMI found
trying with Spout2, NDi and Game Capture -> They all cause cracklings
hiding Vtube Studio Spout2, NDi and Game Captur -> They still cause cracklings
USB microphones work ok

Only when I completely remove the Vtube Studio sources my mic and headgear work fine, so it's something with Vtube Studio, sadly. Please help me solsonSadge

Have you tried changing the buffer size?

Hello, how do I do that?

Depends on what your audio setup is

#

What's your mic and interface

Go into your interface settings, there should be a buffer size option there

Ok, it goes from 16 to 2048 and it’s set at 512

#

Should I try it higher or lower?

#

It was crackling even at 256

Could you give me a full rundown of your audio setup? Here's mine for reference

#

It's outdated tho, I use Cantabile now

#

DOesn't have to be a comprehensive diagram

#

Just any and all software you have between your mic and OBS

I have a jack headgear from the Scarlet 212 (the other preamp that I tried) and the Mic connected to the preamplifier in Line 1, the preamp is connected to an usb-c port (I tried different usb-c ports too) to the laptop, and in OBS/Meld I import the mic as default input
I had Waves filters as VST3, but with or without them it doesn't change

Have you checked/updated drivers?

earnest agate May 8, 2025, 7:06 AM

#

Yes, I updated the bios too

#

Bios, graphic card, audio drivers and preamp drivers

#

I also gave priority to VTube studio in the processes and set the affinity to certain cores, different from Meld/Obs cores, removed the throttling in Windows power settings and the cpu/bios too
