VH w/ Steam Link+USB Headset Issue

So, I'm using the Steam Link with a headset (w/ mic) plugged into a USB adapter. I've gotten everything to work without much hassle, however there is a crackle/slight skip in the audio every few seconds. I'm fully wired to my router, at 30Mbps and able to stream in 1080p 60fps with little latency. I've lowered the resolution to 900p after connecting VH and the headset, but it hasn't made a difference with the crackling. Is this just an issue with the Steam Link's weak CPU? Is there an alternative solution? Thanks!

Yes its the steamlink CPU, the alternative is to use e.g a pi and just use virtualhere on the raspberry pi.
