Using WDM mode is completely broken, the sound is completely unusable. Having the buffer-size at 1024 on ASIO is already to high.

This solution is not one I can use, since I need low latency. It behaves the same with the MME driver, where it can be fixed by setting the buffer-size higher. It's as if Voicemeeter needs to go higher than 1024 buffering, but it can't since that's the maximum for ASIO. Trying to set the buffer-size higher reduces the problem, but it doesn't remove it completely. The sound from any virtual input will crackle and pop frequently. Using the 2i2 as A1 output wont work correctly in any mode. It seems like no one has the same issues I do, or those that do, haven't found a solution. It just will not work correctly, and I can't find any way to solve it by searching the net. That was until I got a sound card, the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 (2nd gen). Update: so I am still getting cracks and pops, unfortunately, so now I am recording with the built-in Windows Recorder.I've used Voicemeeter for some time, and it has worked perfectly fine. I suspect it may have something to do with the focursrite driver buffer samples I tried a second time, managed to change it but then I go no input, so it seems to work only on auto. I tried to change it once, but Resolve crashed, so no keeping it on auto.

Taking a lot of cues from this thread, I made all my 3 displays work from the 1070 gpu, so the RTX 2080 stays free, changed the playback resolution via Playback > Timeline Proxy Mode > Half Resolution, and installed the focusrite official drivers to be able to adjust the buffer to a higher value. I am usually editing 24p HD videos, so it shouldn't be as intense as 4k 30 or 60p, but it seems that being a video editing app, even a simple timeline on a powerful machine takes a lot of resources. The next issue is all the pops and cracks when recording. Scanning from the forums, and this thread, it seems to be a general bug in Resolve 17. However, I also have another USB audio interface that Resolve is not seeing, and it would be a lot of extra work to change the default input each time, so still waiting for support from Blackmagic.

This little trick made it possible for the patch selector to finally see the Focusrite interface. I've followed a tip from the forum linking to youtube video mentioning that it is useful to go the old windows sound settings (right click volume icon > sounds > recording), and make the desired input device as the default recording device. My initial problem was that Resolve could not find Scarllett for voiceover work. I am using Davinci Resolve Studio 17 in Win 10 with RTX 2080, GTX 1070, and Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen. So I thought it would be useful to share with the community my experience in resolving these issues. In the meantime, thanks to all the info I can find around the forum, I've managed to resolve my issues, as I need to do some voiceover work urgently. Ok, so I contacted the Resolve team, to get some help, but it was Friday late, and they haven't gotten back to me as it's still the weekend.
