A number of people have let us know that the sound quality of our live feed hasn’t been great and that there has been a lot of crackling noise. We’ve done some tests, and the problem is with YouTube, not our equipment. Unfortunately, that means there is nothing else we can do about it! However, once the videos are no longer live, the crackling disappears. Please bear with us while we wait for YouTube to resolve this issue.
