It has honestly been the bane of my existence. Sometimes it's an actual BSOD but other times it's just a crash. I have been having computer crashes pretty regularly (sometimes several times a day) while using my computer since mid-2020 (i.e. My FastTrack has been working fine (in terms of audio quality) on Windows 10. I have a russian version of Windows 10 so the names in the sequence are pretty approximate, but this should give you the main idea.
Then you should choose second option which should look something like 'Search for drivers on this PC' and then 'Choose from available drivers', then you'll probably need to uncheck 'Only compatible devices' and choose manufacturer's driver from the list. Keep in mind, that these manipulations will increase sound latency, which is not a problem unless you're playing live instruments.Īlso you may try to manually assign proper driver for your device: right-click on it in Device Manager, choose 'Properties' then 'Driver' tab and press 'Update Driver' button. You may also increase a number of kernel buffers by using proper slider. Open your Asio4All settings and slide 'ASIO Buffer Size' slider all the way to the right. Regarding your problem: first of all, crackling and distorted sound could mean that you have very small buffer size.
