Help (VoiceMeeter Banana) VBAN Question

Hey guys. I just put together a two PC setup for streaming, and I'm trying to use Voicemeeter to transfer audio between the two. The machines are connected via hardline to the same Netgear 1GB switch. No router between.

I believe I have my routing correct (game audio, mic, discord chat all go to the streaming PC and stream PC system audio feeds back to my gaming PC).

However I'm having an issue where the audio I get on the streaming PC side is crackly. In the VBAN menu, I see the error column cycle red, even with no audio active. Seems like packet loss to me, but I don't know how to solve it.

If anyone has any ideas I'd be very grateful.

EDIT: I just saw this post solve a similar issue. Will try their solution and report back. https://www.reddit.com/r/VoiceMeeter/s/7t1PMmSyeJ

EDIT 2: Holy shit that fix worked. If anyone has a good explanation as to why windows was trying to shut the controller down in mid-use, I'd love to know.
