Question: Can't watch videos/streams or even listen to music during gameplay on a brand new PC?
Question: Can't watch videos/streams or even listen to music during gameplay on a brand new PC?
I recently installed a new PC with an i9-14900kf, 4070 Ti Super, 32GB 6400 RAM, and it runs well with good temperatures. The lag I’m experiencing isn’t frame drops—when trying to stream or play, the video will lag and only works when I switch tabs. Same goes for videos on HD; they lag while playing but recover quickly once I switch tabs. The second part of this problem is that during laggy streams or videos, the game also starts lagging due to input delay. I often notice up to five seconds of pure keyboard input lag until I switch tabs and close the video or stream. Please help.
