Audio Crackle with UE5

Greetings,

Since 5.3.2 and 5.4, every time I open UE my windows 11 sound will collapse into heavy crackling and can’t be stopped unless I close UE5

It’s the only program that does that, even though it’s probably a windows 11 problem (which I didn’t identify yet).

Does anyone know of a potential fix? Thank you

(I own a Focusrite audio interface but that one works fine, the issue occurs anyway)
