Dropouts when recording through VB-Cable
Posted: Thu Mar 18, 2021 5:40 pm
After solving my initial issue of misconfiguring Audacity, I am happily recording from Roon through VB Cable to Audacity.
When I looked at the recorded files in Audacity, I noticed that there are dropouts of around 0.1 second length at irregular intervals during the recording. They are not very frequent, but frequent enough to be annoying. During the dropout the signal seems to be a perfect zero. The db scale of the Audacity display shows no amplitude at all.
This is what such a dropout looks like:
I get these dropouts under Windows 10 and also under MacOS BigSur 11.2.3 During recording no other tasks are preformed on the computer.
I would appreciate any suggestions what might be the issue here.
