Yes, the Orville is worse than most things I've come across when clocked incorrectly.
Try setting the system clock to a different value and changing back, double checking word clock is not selected if you are suing analogue i/o or ensuring that if you are using digits, that your clock source is the correct device, ie wordclock or embedded within the AES stream.
Erroneous settings can cause extremely unpleasant artefacts…
When its clocked right, however, the Orville sounds mmmmm…..
Of course it could be an electrical fault, but…
