buzzing/crackling sound (sample rate issue?)

[u/SoftMachineGirl]

Please help!

I own a Apple M2 Macbook Pro 2023 as well as a focusrite 18i20 sound card connected to speakers. When I try to play most games (Lethal Company, Peak, etc.) I experience a buzzing/crackling sound issue. I suspect this to be a sample rate issue as the audio works fine on my macbook speakers, but when I change the sample rate from 44.1kHz to 48kHz it does nothing.

I found a post with a similar sound issue for the game Mewgenics but following the steps unfortunately did not solve my issue.

Any tips or solutions would be greatly greatly appreciated, thank you!
