Hi,

When you are recording on SoundTap, try to observe the moving sound levels and see if it constantly goes over the red level.

If that's the case, try lowering the volume of the source stream (e.g. YouTube's volume control).

Observe if the results will minimize or eliminate the crackling noise.
