Hello,
I'm reaching out because I'm having a recurring issue with my PC. Indeed, whenever I'm on a Discord call or trying to use OBS, the sound from my game, my music, or more generally, the sound output from my computer decreases in quality, regardless of whether I have a headset on or not.
The sound is fine when none of these applications are open.

Hello,
I think you're opening too many things at the same time and your sound card might not be able to handle all the audio tracks simultaneously, which leads to crackling and a drop in quality. Basically, there might be a conflict between your sound card and all the applications open at once.
The best would be to run tests by opening one, then two, then three applications, and so on, to see how many applications you can use at the same time without having audio problems.
When you play, do you need music? Personally, when I play, I use my game plus music, for example, and nothing else.
Or, I play plus Discord and no music; the game's music is more than enough for me.
Your processor might also not be keeping up, as each app requires resources, and the more apps open, the more your CPU is taxed.

Ah, your headset is Bluetooth, so there may be interference in the signal (radio waves or other noise) that may prevent Bluetooth from functioning properly. But in this case, it would also be necessary to check the pairing of the headset to your PC's Bluetooth signal.

After that, I just tried plugging in my headset instead of the Bluetooth and it seems to work.
