USB Headset mic sounds delayed, choppy and robotic when playing certain games

HyperX Cloud II - Gaming Headset
Windows 10

The problem occurs in some games I try with friends and recently in Apex Legends. We use Discord but testing with TS3 ended with the same problem. The Headset's inputs are not directly used by Windows, rather it is routed through Voicemeeter Banana first. The correct Voicemeeter input and output are set as default in Windows. Voicemeeter is running with administrator privileges and is set to real-time priority in taskmgr. The game itself is smooth and my System isn't even under full load.

These are my specs:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz
16.0 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti

If its not the load my PC is under...and its not discord...then what could it be?

Its most likely just internet being issue. That is, if you don't get this when recording voice locally and playing the games. Or without those certain games and in Discord. For some reason, Discord seems to use much more data than it should need to operate.
