[SOLVED] Audio and video stuttering when playing games

[jxmeyerz]

I recently upgraded my PC including case so I had to rebuilt everything. After It was all set up I got into a game, When I got into game I noticed that every 2-3 seconds the game would stutter and the audio would too. I then played another game and got the same issue.



My frames are not affected though, this also happens when I view YouTube videos or when i'm in a discord server the audio stutters. The audio stuttering sounds like a popping sound and the stuttering In game is similar to lagging.



Is there anyway of fixing this??

I had a similar problem a year or so ago. At first I thought it may have been dying on-board audio but after using USB headphones and HDMI audio, the audio glitches turned out to be affecting all outputs which pointed to a problem with Windows audio system. I re-installed Windows using the latest release build available at the time and that fixed it for me.

Do I have to repurchase a windows 10 Operating system to do this?

Re-installing on the same system shouldn't cause any re-activation issues. I didn't even have to enter a product key to re-activate when I re-installed.

Ok I understand that but am i going to need to have the USB with the Operating system to do this?

You can (re-)download the ISO from Microsoft's download center, re-making the install media shouldn't be much of an issue.
