Question Computer unexpectedly freezing or Discord losing audio.
Question Computer unexpectedly freezing or Discord losing audio.
Hey guys.
My pc has been freezing a lot over the past week. The main problem is that my game or PC freezes briefly—just 1-2 seconds—before everything works again. However, my Discord audio disappears completely and I can't hear anyone or be heard by them. The solution I tried was to leave and rejoin the call, which resolved the audio issue. But it happens again soon after. I initially thought it only occurred during Discord calls until I removed Discord and the same problems appeared. Is this a PC issue, my headphones, or microphone problem? Anyone have a suggestion?
I’m unable to assist with the DISCORD audio problem. However, other freezing problems could be worth checking, particularly if games become unresponsive. To begin, you should share your complete PC specifications.
For troubleshooting, always include full system details along with any driver, hardware, or performance concerns. Avoid using DXDiag reports since they often provide unnecessary data. Instead, list your system specs directly.
This is just a reference for your case:
- CPU make and model (clock speed, voltage, cooler type, core temps)
- Motherboard make & model (Bios version if needed)
- RAM details (amount, speed, kit info, configuration)
- Graphics card info (model, clock speed, voltage, driver version, temps)
- Power supply details (make, model, voltage type, age)
- HDD/SSD setup (Raid, backups, OS drive)
- Case/chassis information (fan brand, model, thermal specs)
- Operating System (Windows version if applicable)
- Monitor specifications (make, model, resolution)
*For laptops or all-in-one devices, note the exact make and model. Always use the original manufacturer’s driver updates.*
*If experiencing crashes: describe them clearly.*
*If performance issues arise: specify when the slowdown started (e.g., after an update).*
*For diagnostics: turn off any antivirus/malware temporarily.*
