Hello, Recently whenever I launch any program with background audio—whether video or sound—the playback gets interrupted for a short time before resuming. When it’s a video, there’s noticeable buffering. Playing games is especially problematic; the audio tracks often become misaligned every couple of minutes. I keep my BIOS and drivers updated, yet I’m still unsure what’s causing this issue. It happens regardless of which app is playing the sound. My PC specifications: AMD Ryzen 5 3600, 32 GB RAM, Windows 11 Pro, Gigabyte Aorus Pro B550 motherboard, 1 TB NVMe drive. Speakers are connected via USB cable. Thanks.
