I’m working with an optical output setup, specifically a Fiiok11. There seems to be occasional audio drops—clicks every 1-2 minutes—when playing games. I’ve confirmed the disc isn’t being damaged and the amplifier only has one USB-C port, which makes me hesitant about constantly disconnecting it. Could this be related to a driver problem? I’ve tried using USB C and everything works fine.

Navigate to sound settings, then commutations. Select "do nothing," apply changes, and confirm with ok.

The issue stems from the FiiO K11.

Hmm, I'm not sure. It could be a damaged optical cable. I don't know how fragile these things are.

All the DACs I've tried produced a clicking noise.

It functions properly. My argument is that optical isn't just a thing.

Optical delivers 24-bit audio while USB provides 32-bit. Using USB will reduce noise.
