The AudioMulch audio output is popping, crackling and/or glitching. Whats the story?
First, check the CPU Load indicator in the bottom left of the status bar (make the Status Bar visible from the view menu if it’s hidden). If the CPU Load indicator is always red, or often above 80%, your computer may not be fast enough to synthesise the current document in real time, try using less contraptions (see “I want to make my patches more complex but the CPU load keeps maxing out, any suggestions?”). If the CPU Load is not red the audio buffer settings may not be optimal for your soundcard and CPU speed. Try increasing the Buffer size and / or the Number of buffers in the Audio Driver tab of the Settings / Preferences dialog box accessible from the Edit menu. See the Settings / Preferences Dialog Box reference in the help file for more details. There is an Optimising Real-Time Performance section of the help file which you will find helpful. On Windows, you should also consider using ASIO drivers if you aren’t already. ASIO4ALL is a good generic ASIO driver.
