Focusrite Scarlett crackling audio

Here is a workaround for scarlett 2i2 2nd gen and scarlett solo. Not tested with 3rd gen devices.

  1. Deinstall the newest focusrite driver from windows
  2. Install the old 3.2.2 driver from Focusrite. I have uploaded it here because it’s not available anymore on the focusrite site:
    Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.

I had some focusrite devices over the last four years and come across the same issues that you mentioned here. Searched the whole web for a solution and contacted the Support many times. If there is another way pls let me know.
Anyway I hope it helps someone.

Edit: Use always direct sound in Teamspeak, like noticed in the posts above!
