I can't really figure out a good subject line for this as a lot is going on and it's difficult to describe without going into detail. This issue has been persisting for I'd say a little over a year now, and I can't seem to get a proper answer for why my PC has been doing this. Sometimes it happens randomly, sometimes it happens when I'm gaming, and sometimes it just doesn't happen.
When I'm connected to my headphones, sometimes my PC will randomly switch my audio to my speakers, my RGB lights will start to spazz out, if I'm playing a game the FPS will dip to around 5-10 FPS, and then after a few seconds, everything goes back to normal. Without my headphones on, the same thing happens except without switching my audio. Sometimes I'll be listening to music late at night and my system will randomly switch my audio to my speakers, which blasts it and wakes everybody up. I haven't been able to pinpoint the issue exactly, but I've assumed that maybe it was more of a motherboard issue than anything else. My parts aren't very old either except for the motherboard, which I've had for 3 years now. In listing my specs, I also listed how long I've had each of my parts if it helps!
