Game causes static and webcam to stutter

[ivanlin]

This has been happening for a long time, and I've just found out that these problems only happens when a game is running. Any audio I play outside of the games audio becomes staticy. It's a decently loud popping/static sound whenever any words are said. Another problem that occurs is that whenever I try to use my webcam or any webcam while games are running, the webcam has 1 frames per second or it just shows black and doesn't load. Once there are no games running, none of these problems exist. I have no idea why this is happening

Hello ivanlin

Can you please confirm if you've already tried updating the graphics driver? If yes, you can remove it, and install the latest version right from the start.

If the graphics driver is already updated, please try using an earlier version and see if it helps.

Please report back with the results to allow us to provide you with a better solution.

Cheers!!

I have just tried uninstalling and reinstalling my graphics driver, and also rerolling back to a previous version. I am still getting the static/popping when I am playing any game!

I should also add that it's not a headset problem; as I've tried using multiple earbuds/headsets and I still get the crackling sounds.
