Distortion in audio

[carlmart]

There's been a problem that has been affecting audio reproduction on my computer, and it's getting annoying. I can't quite pinpoint what might be causing it.

It sounds as if the audio slowed down and stammered a bit to then start running again fine. I may happen on videos, with different programs, or on games.

I wonder what I can do, change or upgrade to solve it.

Any hints?

Make sure your audio drivers are up to date and check your Device Manager to see how much CPU % you are using during playback. I worked on a PC recently with a audio sync problem and it turned out to be a video decoding problem instead, so check both of them.

Well, that one seems to have been easy to solve. Just updated the Realtek driver and the problem seems to be fixed.

Will keep watching.

Thanks!
