Question 4

Hey Guys!  Old Man Rebel here from YT.  I'm having issues with my my live streams with Windows 11 64bit.  Popping and Crackling sounds in the Streams.  I know this is a issue with windows and I have done everything to correct the issue.  It's now hit and miss.  Would a 3rd. Party Sound Card help stop this problem?

Accepted Answer

Hi.  I cannot answer your question directly.  As that I use Linux Mint for most of my computer and online needs.  But, as per your description:  it appears to be something I have experienced in Linux also.  It did not matter if I was using my Sound Blaster sound card or the motherboard sound port.  I also was hearing hissing, popping and scratches in all online audio feeds.   It turns out that the browser I was using was the issue.  I was using Firefox (for Linux).  When I switched to Chromium, which is now my main browser (or Google Chrome)  all the sound issues went away.
