Question Sound stuttering on Win11

[catch440]

Hi all,
Just recently I'm getting sound stuttering on my PC... I notice it most when watching YouTube in Firefox (my default browser)... sometimes it will happen when I open another tab and/or open another website similtaniously - the YouTube sound will stutter for a second or two, then stop. But sometimes it just stutters anyway! Always just for a second or two periodically. I'm also getting similar occassional stutters now whilst playing music through the Spotify App on my desktop too.

I've tried YouTube in other browsers, and the stutters can happen on them too. Everything else on my PC is running fine. Just wondering if this is a component error, or a speaker error (my Logitec Speakers), or a setting in Win11 that needs changing..?? All my software is up to date (Win11, drivers etc). Win11 troubleshooting is not picking anything up either.

Im running a 5800x with 32GBRAM, and a 3080 GPU. Any suggestions will be most welcome as its so annoying now... thinking of doing a factory reset if this continues - in hope it might solve it!

Thanks in advance!
