Why Am I Hearing Crackling Sounds While Playing Louder Music on YouTube?
Asked by

I'm experiencing a frustrating issue when I play YouTube Music on my PC. Every 10 to 50 seconds, I hear these random crackling sounds, which really disrupts my listening experience. Interestingly, when I play quieter music, or when I'm using Discord, the crackling disappears. I've tried listening to YouTube Music on my phone with headphones and have no problems, and Spotify on my PC works fine too. Is there something specific about YouTube or YouTube Music that's causing this? Are there any settings I should adjust, or is it just bad quality? I just want to enjoy my music without interruptions! Also, I'm using the Opera GX browser if that helps.

Check your sound settings! Sometimes, the crackling happens if your sound card format is set above 96000 Hz, which can create problems. It's worth a quick look!

Have you considered that it might be related to your bandwidth? Streaming can require a surprising amount of data, especially if you're using YouTube at a high quality.

It sounds like you might be dealing with connection or driver issues. Have you checked if your speakers are the problem? Sometimes it could just be poor speaker quality causing the crackles.
SoundGeek99: I actually use wireless headphones, specifically the HyperX Cloud III Wireless. So, I'm wondering why this issue is only happening with YouTube.
