Streaming audio start crackling (only for me) after 30+ min

Hi i dont know why but after the update to the last version of the ts6 client, when i watch some one streaming for some time the audio starts crackling for some minutes, then when it reach a point where its more crackling than sounds it’s stops crackling and gets back to normal for 20+ minutes,
after some time it could start again, i discovered that i can force the crackling to stop if i disable and re-enable my audio device from windows audio panel but it last from less than 10 minutes
im using windows 11
mobo: MPG X570 GAMING PLUS (MS-7C37)
cpu: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
gpu: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070

tell me how and what can i post here to get you more information about my problem,
thanks for everyone who will post to help me out
sorry for my bad english it’s not my first language
*ps: i forgot to specify that only the streaming audio im watching starts crackling, the rest, youtube, ingame, is all fine,
My audio drivers are the Realtek audio 6.0.9879.1 and my device is at 24bit 48k hz

OS Kubuntu 24.04
mb: b550m aorus pro-p
cpu: ryzen 7 5800x
gpu: rtx 3070ti

I have the same problem. The sound in Steam cuts out after 10-20 minutes. I stop the stream and then restart it, and the problem goes away. But after 10-20 minutes, the problem returns.

It may be possible that the audio buffer is under run or that an overflow trough dynamic FPS is causing this issue, however without a proper how to this is not something we can fix at this point.

However we plan to rework the audio transmission to improve quality, which may already solve this issue.
