Hi! I've been plagued by stuttering audio output on my Behringer UMC202HD for some time. Today I decided to go ham and troubleshoot it.

My audio interface will stutter after a few seconds of playing, be it from Youtube on Edge or Spotify. I observed that this does not happen when I'm in a fullscreen game (CS2) or when I'm on a call on Discord. After some trial and error, I found that upon exiting DisplayFusion, the audio stutter from Edge/Spotify ceases.

After setting a static image as my wallpaper in DisplayFusion, the problem does not happen. After setting a video as my wallpaper in DisplayFusion, the problem does not happen as well. Only when I set a .gif file as my wallpaper, the audio stutters again.

My audio over HDMI (built-in speakers in my monitor) does not seem to show the same problem when my wallpaper is set as a gif. I am inclined to guess that this is only affecting my USB audio interface.

Any thoughts on what I might be able to try?
