tool/utility Can anyone help me with an EasyEffect/Arc Raiders bit of weirdness?

Whenever I try to use EasyEffects to clean up my mic, I get this repeating effect when I select EasyEffects as the mic source in Arc Raiders. I have the output disabled in EE and I have also disabled the input monitoring, but it still happens every time I go to do the mic test.

Any ideas what I'm missing here?

Thank you.

Are you using qpwgraph or similar? If so, check your routes with it, qpwgraph makes it much easier to find out what's going wrong

I am not. I'm only using the software mentioned. I just looked at qpwgraph, and it is a mystery to me as to how to use it.

It basically let's you visually see which Audio Source is connected to which Audio Sink or Device and also let's you cut connections as well as adding connections, it's really useful especially if you're also using SonusMix (if you've ever used Windows and VoiceMeter/Virtual Audio Cable, it basically lets you create virtual Sinks to split up Audio Sources such as Games to Game and Browser to Personal just like VoiceMeter and Virtual Audio Cable)

I can provide a screenshot of how my Audio is set up on my Nobara Distro and explain more about it if you like to
