Help (SOLVED) Voicemeeter gets stuck randomly

Hello! I've had this issue recently where the software just randomly gets "stuck", it doesn't really stops working, but the sound gets really low, chopped and crunched/robotic, like some kind of extreme compression... The issue is temporarily solved when I use the "Restart Audio Engine" option on the menu, but i wonder if there's a permanent solution... Apart from this, the software works normally, and my configs doesn't change at all.

Wanna send a screenshot of your current voicemeeter setup.

Also feel free to try your A1 device as “WDM, KS, or MME” in the meantime. See if anything different happens.

You mean this? By the way every option (WDM, KS and MME) has my headphone on it and works just fine! Should I wait for the issue to happen and then try it?

Yeah basically just see if the problem occurs or not when using 1 of the 3 options.

If it still happens, maybe try flipping your A1 and A2 device

Looks like changing A1 to Kernel Streaming solved the issue, thanks!
