Crackling audio on headset

I've been attempting to share my SteelSeries headset through VirtualHere between my laptop and desktop PC. Both are connected to the same switch, which is under my desk and has 3 feet of cable between them.

I've solved the issue with getting the device to share to the laptop (using an older server version it seems), and the speakers work fine. When recording audio or speaking it sounds like I am a robot. I don't understand what I could change to fix this issue? Any help is appreciated.

Ok unfortunately i think those headphones are too sensitive to the slight extra latency of the network so i don't think it will be possible for the crackling to go away
