While we see timing error much bigger than the buffer size (5,10, 20 ms).
#Focusrite scarlett 2i2 2nd gen driver driver
Our experience on this shows that it is not a problem for an ASIO driver to be 1 to 2ms accurate in callback management under Windows. We see no technical reason to have this problem (especially when we saw the huge internal buffering size used by these devices). Personnally, i don't understand why so many ASIO driver (handling USB device) are presenting such issue with callback timinig. We already wrote an article on this and you can also get more info on this topic: This problem is wellknown and present with many USB devices (not only Focusrite) so if the timing is wrong, the sound is cut. Because our Virtual ASIO driver are following the timing given by the main driver. Yes, there is problem with Virtual ASIO driver synchro with most of Focusrite USB deviceĮspecially when Voicemeeter is connected to it through their ASIO driver (the WDM interface is more stable in term of time, but does not allow to manage all channels as well as the ASIO does).
The problem is isolated to Voicemeeter, no other program behaves this way. I've tried to change USB-ports for the 2i2, no difference. I've tried to change sampling rates for the hardware, virtual drivers, and voicemeeter, nothing changed.

All drivers for all equipment is updated, and Voicemeeter is running latest version. Routing an input through Cubase resulted in so much crackling that it was impossible to recognize the sound. Another detail is that when using the ASIO insert driver in Voicemeeter Banana, the sound would start to pop again, even though the input in Voicemeeter sounded fine. In normal Voicemeeter, the virtual input works fine, but any other input does not. The strange thing is, this behavior only happens in Voicemeeter Banana. Changing the max latency for the virtual ASIO drivers changes nothing, I've tried setting it to 7168, but that did nothing. Any other input device sounds fine, like anything retrieved from the ASIO inputs from the soundcard, or the microphone connected to the motherboard. Using WDM mode is completely broken, the sound is completely unusable. Having the buffer-size at 1024 on ASIO is already to high. This solution is not one I can use, since I need low latency.
It behaves the same with the MME driver, where it can be fixed by setting the buffer-size higher. It's as if Voicemeeter needs to go higher than 1024 buffering, but it can't since that's the maximum for ASIO. Trying to set the buffer-size higher reduces the problem, but it doesn't remove it completely. The sound from any virtual input will crackle and pop frequently. Using the 2i2 as A1 output wont work correctly in any mode. It seems like no one has the same issues I do, or those that do, haven't found a solution. It just will not work correctly, and I can't find any way to solve it by searching the net. That was until I got a sound card, the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 (2nd gen). I've used Voicemeeter for some time, and it has worked perfectly fine.
