Question Audio stutters, but only when in game ?

[_Archimedes_]

Hey everyone, I just put together a new PC, and when I start up a game (tried BG3 and Helldivers 2) the audio becomes choppy and unbearable, every other syllable is cut off, but if I play music through my browser (youtube music) it sounds perfectly fine. Initially the games were visually choppy, but after going through and making sure everything related had current drivers, it fixed that part, but now the audio is stuttering/choppy. I'm using some Insignia bluetooth speakers. I've installed the most current audio drivers that I was recommended along with bluetooth drivers. Tried going through the sound settings, turned audio enhancements off, made it so that programs can't claim the speakers exclusively... what else can I try?

Here's my PC specs:
-AMD Ryzen 9 7900x 4.7 GHz 12-core CPU
-MSI MAG X670E Tomahawk WIFI ATX AM5 motherboard
-Acer Predator BiFrost OC Arc A770 16 GB GPU
-Corsair iCUE H150i Elite LCD XT 65.57 CFM Liquid Cooling system
-G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL36 RAM
-Western Digital Black SN770 2TB SSD
-Western Digital Black SN850x 4TB SSD
-Corsair RM750e (2023) 750 W 80+ Gold Modular ATX power supply

I see there are 13 different bios files for your motherboard. Is your bios up to date? Are you using all the chipset, lan, audio drivers, Bluetooth etc, specifically from the MSI motherboard support page? https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MAG-X670E-TOMAHAWK-WIFI/support#driver

I'm not 100% sure on the bios being up to date, I'll look at that when i get home from work today and give you an update. I do believe I used all the drivers from MSI, but I'll double check to make sure.

I updated the bios and downloaded the AMD software for automatic driver installation, and that fixed my issues. Thank you for the help!
