I have the same crackling noise issue.
I used to think it was due to my old slow computer, but now that I'm running bandlab on a newer, more powerful machine unfortunately the crackling remains.
It appears about every minute or 2 for a second or 2. I'm connecting through a Steinberg UR22mkII Interface
Any suggestions on how to get rid of the crackling noise are very much appreciated.
I'm not very knowledgeable, but I hear all of you talking about ASIO. When I switch driver mode to ASIO, Cakewalk gives me the message that Cakewalk is incompatible with Realtek ASIO. when I force it to switch to ASIO the audio no longer runs via my Interface, but out of the regular speakers of my computer.
Is there an incompatibility issue between the Steinberg interface and Cakewalk that I'm not aware of?
Any ways to resolving this?
Thanks
Best regards,
Pieter
