TeamSpeak 3 causing choppy/static sounding audio

Hi All.

I’m new to TeamSpeak and am finding an issue where whenever I join a server my audio from other applications becomes choppy and staticy. I seems to me like the audio from other applications is going through the TeamSpeak server before it comes out to me but I can’t figure out why it would do this or how to stop it. If you could offer some advice on how to fix this issue that would be greatly appreciated. I am using TeamSpeak 3, version 3.5.6 on a Mac device.

Thanks.
