Synthetic Audio Clock

Detection approach

Virtual / synthetic audio clock detected. Real hardware audio contexts have sub-sample timing jitter. A perfectly uniform clock (10/10 samples with zero variance) indicates an emulated or virtualized audio pipeline.

How this helps detect bots

Collect this signal alongside session context, request metadata, and other independent indicators. A single anomaly is a lead, not a verdict; corroborating anomalies make automated traffic more likely.

Legitimate traffic to consider

Employees browsing on Citrix, VMware, or virtual audio routing cables.
