    I wonder what has started causing this. Whenever I open Serum and browse through a few presets, all audio completely stops. Sometimes rarely, the sound gets all glitched up. Making Serum bridged reduces this but still randomly once in a while it goes out.
    I use FL ASIO, but ASIO4All causes the same issue, however mixer shows a huge DC offset when it happen in ASIO4All. Only solution to this is restarting FL or changing buffer size of driver, that too doesn't work everytime. Unfortunately I can't exactly remember since when this started happening. Someone told to reinstall Serum, idk how that will be helpful at all, so haven't done it. Also haven't checked other DAWs, but seems to me like a FL problem. Also random problem with Fruity Filter plugin sometimes, it too causes similar issues as Serum.

    OS: Win 10 21H1 64 bit
    Audio driver: Using pal1000's generic uad realtek driver, because default one used to max out at 50% of full volume
    FL: 20.7.2 (waiting for new version since eternity)
    Serum: 1.334

    Don't you have a sound card or an audio interface?
    Turn off all Inserts FX and play several presets and other sound banks. Should the problem arise, please let me know.

    you do not "See how reinstalling will do anything", and while I get your point; it can very often solve some of the most very random stuff.

    you mentioned having a problem with the filter. did you already reinstall FL?

    Don't you want to invest money in an audio interface? Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen - 104 €

    In order for the sound to go in and out of the computer, an audio interface is required. Almost every modern PC has an on-board sound. This means that an audio interface is already integrated on the motherboard. This is sufficient for occasional listening to music or to watch and listen to videos on YouTube, but on-board sound is not suitable for making music. There are several reasons for this: on the one hand, the sound quality is quite poor and, on the other hand, the speed is relatively slow.

    Updating FL seems to have solved the problem, without reinstalling Serum itself
