What does "CHLEN" and "DATLEN" actually mean in the context of I2S

[CLeo.1]

Hi guys I am having troubles in understanding the "CHLEN" & "DATLEN" from PG. 2251 from the

STM32H753ZI

The reason I am asking because I am doing DSP, and I noticed when I change DATLEN from 16BIT -> 24BIT my DSP works perfectly, but when its on the 16BIT setting the wave looks messed up.

I also know it has to do with some sort of DMA as testing changing around MSIZE & PSIZE the wave form changes

I tried also probing it DATLEN doesnt do anything but I noticed CHLEN changes the SCLK

If anyone can explain to me this would be amazing

CHLEN is the number of time slots for bits and determines the frame length. DATLEN is a number of actual data bits, which will be inserted in these time slots. RM0433 figure 624 explains it very clearly.
