FAQs
Depending on the usage environment, reboot the interface by turning the power off/on again, or disconnect and reconnect the USB cable.
Your device's playback application/software, and playback file frequencies (sampling frequency) may not be matching. Set the frequencies of the playback file and each configuration to be the same, or unify the frequencies of the playback file.
We've verified this can occur on Windows 10/11 version 22H2 and after.
Please try the following methods to prevent this issue:
1: Exit and close other playback or recording applications before using WMP.
2: Do not open the recording, and other tabs in the Sound control panel while playing a file.
3: Try using the ASIO driver if you are using an ASIO-compatible application.
