Sound cracking while playing high frequency contents

in the version 1.1.31.0 sound cracks up when playing high frequency content on the headphone, using anker q20+, example song link here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PhOI0Q4ofE it also happens in some movies/tv shows. i tried reinstalling fx sound using previous versions, nothing seems to work, any way to fix this ?

Hi @bedouinbro, Are you hearing the cracking when using any particular preset?

thanks for fast reply, using music preset while music and movies for tv shows/movies, btw is the cracking sound happening on your end ? from the example song

@ bedouinbro
HI, I played the example you shared and it sounds very clean, without any distortion. I just mentioned it in case it helps solve the problem.

@Shepard-N7 anyway to record with fxsound other than voicemeter software ? any other internal recording software that captures audio while fxsound enabled ? voicemeter seems very bloated app

edit 2 - heres the mp3 version of the sample audio files, fxsound enabled and disabled, captured using audacity



audio sample uploaded
enabled
disabled

around 10s the cracking can be heard, so far i tried reinstalling audio drivers, it doesnt seem to work, the cracking sound occurs, any idea whats causing this ? and does the uploaded files have sound cracking happenig on your ends

Hi @bedouinbro
I tried both the clips on two different headphones. After 10s when the instrument sound is not heard I hear some kind of mild rustling sound on both the clips. So, it may not be introduced by FxSound.

same thing happened when i tried listening the recordings from the phone with the same headphone, there were no cracking but in pc something is causing the cracking to occur, i tried all the troubleshooting methods from the fxsound forum
