Question Audio cutting in and out, glitchy noise, weird behaviors.

[carson_e]

Hey guys, I am having some problems on my Windows 10 machine making my audio glitchy at certain times. I am running off of Razer Surround with a Platronics Rig 500 (I have verified that this has worked). I do not know what is causing this glitch. It only starts after about 30-45 minutes of use. It even happens when I bypass the Razer Surround and use Windows' default drivers. This is very annoying, seeing as I do not want to restart my PC every 30 minutes. This is after a motherboard upgrade, fresh install of Windows, and I have tried pretty much every option on the internet (including turning off all effects, troubleshooter, but I have not installed the sketchy software they recommend I do lol).

Thanks for any help you can offer!

Hi,
Have you upgraded the sound card drivers?
Did you also experience video stuttering?

Thanks I’ll try this tonight and see if it works!! Haven’t seen anything about using that other driver so we will see!

I don’t think I changed anything about the audio drivers expect using Windows Updates but Razer Synapse is the newest version of 2.0.
No video stuttering occurred although at one point my cursor started stuttering, a problem I never had on my previous setup. But that one doesn’t occur often so....

So... to update you all... turns out I never had the Realtek audio driver installed in the first place. I have AMD High Definition Audio Device and High Definition Audio Device. I am currently downloading the Realtek drivers after uninstalling the High Definition Audio Device.

The problem seems to be fixed... thanks for all you guy's help! I'll get back to this page if the problem persists.

 

[carson_e]

Nope... sure enough the problem still persists. It still starts happening after a while of use. I do not know what is causing this but it is becoming very annoying.

MEGA BRUH... try this...

• In the device Manager, click IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers [+] to open the tree.
• Choose the Right Click and Select Properties
• Click Advanced Settings tab. Under Current Mode, make sure it has a DMA Mode Setting. If so, you are ok
• IF you DO see PIO, you need to uninstall driver and reboot.
• Remove it by clicking the driver tab and choose Uninstall. Your system will reinstall the driver after Windows loads and restore the Ultra DMA status.

I will try that in like two minutes but I’m starting to have another issue where sometimes when I have just started my computer my display turns all glitchy and eventually turns black. Sometimes showing the cursor. Like this stuff is starting to scare me. Could I have messed up my Windows installation so bad that this happens?? Like it can be fixed by a simple restart but it still scares me that this stuff is happening.

When trying to this I have two things labeled “Standard SATA AHCI Controller” and no advanced options in either of them.

Are those “OR”’s or “AND”’s?

OR as in instead

Okay, I have done most of those, and the problem still perstists. I did not do the DriverEasy method because I have had bad expereiences with automatic driver updaters and by a quick Google search, DriverEasy is the same of all the others. I am going to try and uninstall all my drivers a different method and see if Windows finds anything new.

 

[carson_e]

Okay. I am completely baffled. Unplugging my WiFi USB adapter fixes the problem. Recently I uninstalled the “driver” that is supposed to make it work because I was having difficulties staying connected. Sure enough, after I uninstalled it, no issues. So I kept it that way and then I also plugged in my Bluetooth USB adapter so I could watch movies with Bluetooth earbuds while sitting on my bed. This caused some problems like when Bluetooth was active, WiFi wouldn’t work and vice versa. This happened on my previous computer but I never bothered with it previously and just left it unplugged. But this time I got it “working” somehow except we now have this problem. These adapters are both supposed to be plug and play but seeing as Bluetooth is less important to me right now I am just going to keep it unplugged for now and see if that fixes my issues. God, I can put a PC together and understand the backbones of the OS and what the parts do and everything but I guess I never know what the crap is actually going on inside that little case. It’s mind boggling, really.

P.S. Both the adapters came with disks with drivers (I assume) but I have installed them before and nothing really changed. Especially with the Bluetooth one. The WiFi one gives a visual to connect to WiFi but I can just do that with Windows and it still works without it.

Let me know if you have any feedback from this. I would like it if my sound, WiFi, and bluetooth could all work but I guess if I must sacrifice something it would be the Bluetooth. Everything worked before then.

Okay... back to the start of this whole thing and unplugging my WiFi USB adapter no longer works (I have kept my Bluetooth one unplugged).

Anyone have anything they could add? I am completely out of options here and I do not understand.
