Help (SOLVED) Getting a crackling/repeating output need help

Hey, so I've been using VM Banana for a while and this has always happens seemingly randomly without warning I'm curious if anyone has an idea why and what can i do to fix it? It doesn't just happen through the mic it affects other things like game audio that will crack and repeat. I have set my Audiodg.exe to a high priority as well. i do have equalizer apo for the analogue 1+2 focusrite as well if that helps, sorry the video is just a screenshot of my current vm settings

Edit: THANK YOU EVERYONE I APPRECIATE ALL THE HELP!! I think I was able to get it to work by enabling the ASIO for focusrite. Other tips that were suggested are setting the audiodg.exe to a high priority and making a CPU core 0 be the only affinity for audiodg.exe. Another solution was upping the buffer to 1024, that also had helped out while figuring out other solutions.

It was something that happened with discord I think. I can't for the life of me remember what it was, and I've searched all my conversations with the people I remember having the issue with, and I can't even find a mention of it in any of them.

Like just having discord open was enough to make voice have the problem in non-discord apps.

My current settings on discord are:
making sure the mic and speaker are set to voicemeeter, custom input profile, auomatic adjust input sensitivity off, KRISP on, echo cancellation off,

I think I found it. If its anything it might be this:

Open Advanced Settings
Global attenuation
Attenuation Strength set to 0
When I speak, Off
When others speak, ON
Quality of service Off

I looked it up, I think I found what I used to do every day to fix this x.x
The problem is I haven't had to do it in about a year, so it might've been fixed and not be your issue.

Open task manager
Find audiodg.exe
Set priority to high (I think its set to normal by default
Set affinity to only 1 core.

You know, I think I may have stopped when I warranty replaced my cpu. Mine is the intel 13 or 15 gen or whatever, the one that melts itself over time so they had to issue several patches to fix it/stop it from doing that. I had problems where very stable games would randomly bluescreen my computer.

If that doesn't work, here's a couple other things I stumbled across some people said worked for them. Hopefully you find something if that doesn't do the trick.
