Hi everyone,
*Removed by moderator* I think I found the solution, so I hope this helps others or gives them a place to start off. If it doesn’t then please add your fix or give other suggestions to try.
I was experiencing micro stutters with audio and video on my high-end PC. My specs are as follows:
GPU: Nitro 7900XTX
CPU: Ryzen 9 7950X
RAM: Corsair Dominator 64GB DDR5 6000MHz
Storage: 2x 2TB 980 Pro NVMe SSDs
PSU: Corsair 1600W
Motherboard: RO Crosshair Extreme X670E
Cooling: Custom Watercool for CPU & GPU, with two thick 480rads in push-pull config
Additional Info:
Case full of Corsair Fans\LED Strips, also Corasir 1000D
Mouse: Razor Viper Ultimate
Keyboard: Custom and Moonlander
Rodecaster Pro 2: Recently added (also beta released around time of issues)
Corsair USB headset stand
Headset: ROG Delta 2 (Recently released)
Alright, it may seem like I added a bit extra on the info, but there is a reason for that, which I will explain later. So, despite having such powerful hardware, I notice occasional micro stutters in various games and applications, especially when gaming. It would look like I was missing every other frame, and my audio would get very robotic. Even in discord, I would sound and people would sound to me choppy. It felt like I was playing with high ping/lag.
My system temperatures are fine and my CPU/GPU usage don't seem to max out when the stutters happen (verified with CPUID HWMonitor and Task Manager Performance Tab).
I updated the bios to my motherboard
Reinstalled the chipset
Made sure all AMD CPU/GPU driver were up to date
Did all windows updates
Made sure nothing was overclocked/undervolted/etc.
Made sure I had plenty of compatible memory and set to the correct settings
Made sure SSDs had plenty of room (only half full)
Checked for malware (granted only use for gaming so little chance of virus/malware)
Confirmed strong ethernet connection of 1gb
Went in as an administrator and confirmed no corrupt Windows files using System File Checker (SFC) and DISM
Finally, at this point it I thought I tried everything and was backing up key files on my PC before doing a fresh install of Windows 11. But then I found a reddit post that I have to credit, especially PinoyBeluga_3:

He noted that he had to go into ROG Armoury Crate, since the RGB controls were causing the stuttering. I had not been in ROG Armoury Crate since I built my PC. When I looked in there, in the Tools Tab all my drivers were out of date, and in the Setting Tab all my firmware was out of date. I believe the thing that probably set it off was my new ROG Delta 2 Wireless Headset (which also needed an update), I also checked Corsair ICUE and more updates for all that firmware as well. Now after doing ALL of those Driver/Firmware updates my stutters finally went away. So make sure you are checking each and everyone of your brand specific softwares that does there updates.
