I have encountered the same issue when I tried to connect a stacktimer to csTimer on my desktop PC.
idk what exactly causes the issue, but you can try to change your audio cable (stereo mini cable with 3.5 mm plug).
This somehow worked for me.

One of my friend cubers suppose it may cause by some noise from the cable.

I also have this problem. I change the cable 3 times and the same happens. I bought 2 cables myself and a friend lent me one.

Hey, I've got a stackmat showing up tomorrow. I'm not sure whether this helps, but it's possible that your pc needs something like a mic / headphones splitter between the pc and the timer. I've had to do that in some other cases. It's related to the input being dual purpose. I can test it with and without that splitter tomorrow.

You can connect to your pc with a 3.5 mm to 2.5 mm cable. You will likely need some kind of splitter if you're plugging into a mic/headphones port rather than a dedicated mic port.
