Hi everyone,

Sorry, not sure which category to post this in. I have a relatively new Katana GF66 laptop which was upgraded to Wind11 a while back with no problems. Windows 11 22H2 update came out at the same time as MSI center updated which was fine. Upgraded to Windows 11 22H2 and had problems with audio notifications crackling from Wind 11 and also after running programmes in admin mode, the laptop stuttering and lagging. I thought this was a Windows issue but it isn't after extensive research. I disabled all services in msconfig and Wind 11 worked perfectly, no lagging etc. I then re-enabled each service one by one until I stumbled upon the one that caused the issues - MSI service center in services. Obviously I need this enabled for MSI center to work, but this is definitely the problem service as everything works perfect until that one service was re-enabled. Not sure if this is even technically possible? So confused right now! The speakers worked fine on Windows 10 when I reset the laptop and re-installed Windows 11 and that's where the problem is. I think I can live with the issues as lag is only when running things in admin mode for a few seconds after the prompt and the audio, well I've turned off audio notifications.

have you tried reinstalling it?

I don't see any errors tied to it yet

Yeah just done that this morning and the lag has gone, so was definitely tied to that. In terms of audio distortion that is still there and I have found other users are having similar problems so must be some other problem as happens even with no services enabled.

Can you download and run Driverview - http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/driverview.html

All it does is looks at drivers installed; it won't install any (this is intentional as 3rd party driver updaters often get it wrong)

When you run it, go into view tab and set it to hide all Microsoft drivers, will make list shorter.

Take a screenshot from (and including)Driver name to (and including)Creation date.

upload it to an image sharing website and show link here

Pretty good chance its not audio drivers. I don't think realtek updated those for ages now. I can look at what else might be new

Thank you, I re-installed the OS only in the last few weeks so quite a few things look recent. Also, this only happens on internal speakers, not external. Just notifications and not every notification has a pop. Cheers.

did you open laptop to see if any cables lose as that was the cause on the link I showed.

i wonder what runs the internal speakers then.

I see Nvidia HDMI audio, I wonder what it does on a laptop - I normally do a custom install in Geforce Experience and not install the HDMI drivers as I don't have speakers in my monitor.
Also realtek Audio drivers and Nahimic which I think are in same package, and look new.

It's not any cables as reset and went back to Windows 10 and notifications audio is fine. Yes, audio drivers were new because I re-installed them.

As other users are having the same issue it's clearly a Wind 11 bug. Back to 10 and all working as it should, thankfully.
