Clicking sounds with sample rates (ALC1220)

[seriousm4x]

When routing audio to a virtual audio cable and duplicating that one to my headphones i get clicking sounds even though all devices use the same sample rate. An inconsistent workaround is to change the device sample rate in the audio device manager to another sample rate, save it, and put it back to what it was. Works 80% of the time.

Hi there,
what's a virtual audio cable?
I'm not sure about the issue, or what the source is.
Please provide some more info about your use case, like your OS, architecture and the application that you are using / duplicating. Maybe check your resource usage while audio-router is running with the described config.

You can create virtual audio devices on windows with this little peace of software.

Running Windows 10 - latest update. My mainboard is MSI Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon with an i7 8700k. Audio codec from that mainboard is alc1220. The issue occurs with every application that i try to route, like Spotify, Rocket League and so on.

I just tested what happens when routing to another output (not a virtual one) and the end result is the same.

Sorry but i don't have the right device or know-how to debug this issue.
This might be an issue with the audio codec used. Please try updating the driver or reinstalling it.
Also please feel free to post any additional info or possible solution here.

I stumbled across this bug when searching for ALC1220. Might be a hardware issue, see https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195303 . I also sometimes experience weird distortions on output. Owning an MSI X399 Gaming board with ALC1220.
