Did you Guys experiment Crackling Audio after update DR Studio to 17.2.1? Same project, on 17.2 and M1 Mac, keep sound playback perfectly smooth. Ty for answer.

What is the audio hardware configuration? viewtopic.php?f=21&t=90190

Is the issue present on the Edit or Fairlight Timeline?

Fixed or Flexi Bussing mode?
Project Preferences > Fairlight > Audio Busing Mode

Project Sample Rate?
Project Settings > Fairlight > Timeline Sample Rate

Source media and Timeline Resolution?

Any audio processing at the Clip or Track level (VST, AU, or Fairlight AFX)?

Ty for answer!

Source media are 4k 25p and FHD 1080 50p. Time line is 1080p 25 fps. The audio media format is a wav, with 44100 Sample Rate.

In some clips there is Noise reduction.

All use the M1, more detail would be useful.

Is playback on the Fairlight page without issue?

The audio media format is a wav, with 44100 Sample Rate.

Is playback of source media with a rate of 48kHz without issue?

Any change with the source media on a 44.1kHz Timeline?

In some clips there is Noise reduction.

Third party plugin or Fairlight AFX?

Is playback improved without the Clip-based plugin?

Any change with the same plugin inserted as a Track-based effect?

Try to change your recording device to 48 kHz or convert. Any improvement?

Yes, it work just fine.

Well, 48 kHz has been a standard in the video world for quite some time. 44.1 not really, it's just for CD audio.

Hello Amedeo. We are unable to see your issue here. Will it be possible for you to send us a small project archive (.dra which includes clips) which can show this issue? More details here - viewtopic.php?f=21&t=90190
