Audio stutter and crashing with LG headset

Goatfacekilla

I'm making a game that heavily relies on audio. I hadn't run into any major issues until I tried doing a gamedev stream on Twitch wearing my LG G935 gaming headset. When I use the headset, the audio is extremely jittery and slow. Through the speakers, everything is fine. Also, when I switch Windows audio output to the headset while Godot is running, Godot suddenly crashes. I've seen posts from a few years ago with the same issues, but was unable to find any answers. Is there a known compatibility issue with this headset?

I'm not sure if there is incompatibilities with the particular headset. Does other audio output devices, like speakers, have the same issue or is it just that headset?

@TwistedTwigleg It's just when switching to the headset (Logitech, not LG as my original post said). I've posts from 2018 describing the same issue with Logitech 930 headsets but haven't seen anything about a way to fix it.

Strange, I wonder why that specific headset is causing issues. Normally I'd suggest making an issue on GitHub about it, since its causing a Godot crash, but in this case I'm not sure. Does the Godot console print any issues or errors when it crashes if you run it from the terminal/command-line?

It might not be the headset, but it could be something with Logitech's driver. Also, it looks like a 7.1 surround headset, I wonder what would happen if you switch the option to 5.1 or even stereo. Also, try uninstalling Logitech software and using the default audio driver, that has a better chance of working.

I uninstalled the Logitech software, as @cybereality suggested. It's fixed! I should have known to try that myself first. Thank you very much!

Awesome! We figured it out.
