Have had this problem on my computer for a while now but after my purchase yesterday of a new gaming headset (Razer Thresher Ultimate PS4/PC) it's become a lot more noticable and unbearable to deal with.

I've searched as much as I can on the topic and any solutions to do with updating/reinstalling my drivers have only temporarily fixed it for a certain amount of time or until the next pc restart. Also is not a specific issue to any audio source it's been happening on anything from discord to just windows system sounds.

I've captured a video playing a song and you should easily notice the song cutting out for a solid milisecond before back in again every 3 seconds or so. Any advice and help is greatly appreciated here.

Also to note that almost every time the sound does its cutout it tends to give me fairly large fps drops on games that I'm playing.

thanks for that. looks like you are having memory leak problems. you got like 7Gbs of standby memory there. this could be caused by the game directly or improper/outdated drivers in your system. you may want to update your BIOS as well for your motherbaord.

you can also adjust your virtual memory settings in your OS

you can also download the cleanmem tool as a temporary fix and follow the instructions below.
