Sound looping when launching Audacity while using Asus Xonar DGX ASIO as A1 Output

Post by Lefelant »

Hi,
I am trying for a while to use my Sennheiser GSP 300 Headset plugged into an Asus Xonar DGX Soundcard as ASIO Output (as ASIO is recommended in https://forum.vb-audio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=451). This is my Voicemeeter setup:

This seems to work fine until I launch Audacity or Discord. Then the sound is immediately stuck at a loud, monotone noise. The sound loop can be manually fixed by switching to WDM Output and Input, and then switching back to the ASIO setup. Both applications work correctly after fixing the sound loop.
I tried increasing the latency in the Soundcard's ASIO Control Panel to the maximum of 100ms. Every setting in the Windows Sound Manager is at 24bit 44100Hz. The Voicemeeter devices are set as standard. I also reinstalled Voicemeeter as suggested in https://forum.vb-audio.com/viewtopic.php?p=2621#p2621 .

Do you know how I can fix the issue, or why it occurs in the first place?

Thanks and have a nice day!

Edit: The ASIO4ALL fixed this problem for me. This also solved crackling issues where I had to restart the audio engine about once every other day.
