[SOLVED] USB Audio keeps stuttering

Hi there,

I seem to be having an issue with my Razer Kraken Headset. The USB is connected to a USB 2.0 port and audio keeps stuttering. It’s getting really annoying and I’ve attempted many fixes.

Motherboard: ASRock B450 Fatal1ty
Ram: Corsair Vengeance 8GB

I’m new to this website so apologies if the question is in the wrong place

How much were you overclocking?
Would sooner sound like a problem with the OC causing stress.

Both practically the same - but someone could probably answer better than me.
I believe the Tomahawk has better reviews from overclockers.
I wasn't overclocking too much.

Even without OC I get random crashes now.
I've setup a return for this motherboard and have ordered the MSI Tomahawk now.

Thank you for the help guys, unfortunately the only fix was to return it and purchase another one.
Have you tried another USB slot?
Have you tried the headset on another PC?
The headset works fine and I’ve tried multiple USB Slots.

I had it overclocked before and I just took the overclock off and everything seems to be fine.

Unhappy about this and will be returning it for the MSI B450 Tomahawk or MSI B450 Gaming Plus... which would you recommend?
