Hey yall,

Not sure if I'm asking in the right spot or not but I do need a bit of help. I recently built a new PC and haven't had many issues with it. I recently updated my computer and have since noticed a couple strange things:

- YouTube videos are endlessly loading and won't play - on any browser. A message eventually comes up saying "If playback doesn't begin shortly, try restarting your device"
- Discord has noticeable lag/delay, as in when anybody joins (myself included) the 'join' sound effect only plays after 4-7 seconds. Very strange

Are these problems related? Probably not, hell, it might not even be due to the update, but I really wasn't sure where to get help for these issues so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

My PC Specs:
Motherboard: Asus Matrix Z790 Formula
GPU: RTX 4080 ROG Strix
CPU: i9 14900k
PSU: Asus ROG STRIX 1000W
RAM: Corsair Dominator Titanium (2x24GB)
Cooler: Lian Li Galahad LCD II
