Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Currently using a Komplete Audio 2 audio interface. In every other app my microphone is fine, but when used in Steam Recording with Automatic Gain Control (mic is inaudible otherwise,) there's a very obvious and jarring popping / clicking sound. Audible from within steam and from within exported videos.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Enable setting in steam
  2. Take clip from any game
  3. Export clip
  4. Hear audible clicking during playback
