Can sound make drops fps in games?

[Razvan96]

Recently I bought headphones, after i installed the driver and device for them, i got bluescreen for atikmpag.sys and ntoskrnl.exe. I reinstalled the windows and bluescreens stop to appear but i have drop fps in games. Can sound be the problem?

If you ask if "sound can make fps drop" then just turn off sound drivers in Device Manager and check out.
You may get a fps boost by doing that but i dont think that your FPS drops are related to your headphones..
You may give it a go and try to reinstall your sound drivers.

But if that wont help to solve this problem try typical solutions like updating your graphic card drivers, making sure that you're not running
any unnecessary programs in the background or checking out if your rig is even able to keep the game running with decent fps.
