So I've been having an issue with audio/video sync, particularly within any browser I use. I've only noticed this with TwitchTV, and haven't tested it with YouTube, or any other streaming site, but when watching Twitch streams, the audio/video slowly goes out of sync. I've had this problem before in the past, and the only way I was able to fix it was to buy a cheap USB Audio Device to plug my speakers into, but now after I believe 3 years of it working flawlessly, the problem has returned.
I'm currently running Windows 10 - Version 22H2 - OS Build 19045.4780
I have tried a few things:
With all that I've tried, I am still encountering the audio/video sync issue. But there is one odd thing I've noticed that temporarily fixes it: When hitting the power button on my case, I notice that when I go to turn the computer back on; Windows doesn't pre-load apps prior to logging in. This has been a temporary fix for my audio sync issue, but after a few days, the issue returns. Then: When shutting down the PC through Windows - Windows will then pre-load apps prior to logging in. This also seems to fix the audio sync issue when the previous shutdown method stopped working as a fix.
I'm not all to sure why this seems to be a temporary fix, and am not sure how I can go about figuring out what's actually causing this to happen. If anyone has any suggestions, or insight, it would be greatly appreciated.
