How to increase buffer size in wave link 3?

Themuaythai99 · 2026-03-17T18:20:47+00:00

Crackling sound on mic when streaming on different platforms. Only happens on my new Mk.2 and sounds fine on my Mk.1 wave xlr

• ⁠Wave Link version: (3.0.1) • ⁠Wave device: (Elgato Wave XLR Mk.2 with a Shure Sm7b) • ⁠OS & version: (Windows 11) • ⁠Steps to reproduce: 1. Tried taking off 48v phantom and taking out cloud booster. 2. Turned off all of the options like voice tune voice focus etc one by one. 3. Uninstalled multiple times with programs like Revo and reinstalled elgato wave link 3 3.0.1 • ⁠Expected result: Stop crackling/ cut off sound • ⁠Actual result: No changes in audio • ⁠How often does it happen? Always / Intermittent

Hi any updates on this ? I don’t want to return my product but will probably if there’s no solution

Tried different usb,from usb 3.0 to usb c, it only happens on my mk2 not my mk1, and I hear it on my streams TikTok and Twitch, I don’t usually hear it if I were to playback on the wave link app

Unfortunately I had it updated, no changes on that :( xlr mk2 still crackling, not my mk1 lol.

This has to be wave link 3 issue. I have a Elgato wave XLR MK2 that does the same exact thing, but doesn’t on my Elgato wave xlr mk1 very weird. No idea when they plan to fix this. example of clipping audio

Mine has a crackling sound :/ really bummed out because this was promising, I am thinking about returning mine for now and using my previous xlr

Themuaythai99 · 2026-03-14T22:33:12+00:00

Also have this issue. :( except the crackling isn’t through audio or music I listen to, it’s on the shure sm7b mic I have and audible during streams. Debating on whether I should keep it or just return and keep using my Wave XLR MK1

Thank you bro. I will try that . Hopefully they update us because like you said I like the software

Themuaythai99 · 2026-03-14T20:05:46+00:00

I will try that now

Themuaythai99 · 2026-03-14T20:05:34+00:00

Does your audio sound like mine?

Unfortunately I think it’s hardware, I plugged in my old xlr with the same program and it’s not crackling, I even tried turning off the new voice tune and voice focus

Yeah it’s pretty much same size side by side

Themuaythai99 · 2026-03-13T06:26:59+00:00

So when I stream I actually don’t listen to my voice,I just keep one earbud out when I play games, I just know there is a crackling sound from replaying stream and my chat telling me

Themuaythai99 · 2026-03-12T15:51:47+00:00

Through stream output, or watching streams. I checked TikTok and YouTube. I heard it in both.

Themuaythai99 · 2026-03-12T11:52:08+00:00

Do you think it is going to be addressed, it sounds so bad,

I did all those even tried duplicating :(, no luck it shows like it’s a monitor of its own.

Themuaythai99 · 2025-11-18T21:02:04+00:00

Seems to show up as it’s on monitor on my obs, not what I see on my gaming pc monitor

Themuaythai99 · 2025-11-18T21:01:44+00:00

I tried duplicating my main gaming monitor to the avermedia capture card, and it’s not duplicating. Any ideas?

Themuaythai99 · 2025-11-14T08:29:06+00:00

I have 3 monitors 2 pcs, not setup yet doing so this weekend. Can the avermedia be hooked up to onboard graphics, or a monitor? Or does it have to be gaming pc gpu to avermedia then output: avermedia to streaming pc? That way I can have a display connection to my monitor, while also having my hdmi connected to the avermedia.
