I got my lenovo yoga 7i back from repair for a sleep/standby issue and also found some weird sound distortion on the headphone jack. Now that it's been reset and cleared, restoring my backups has made things worse. Sometimes when I use Audacity or a media player, there is an audio delay. It stays silent for half a second, then plays normally but skips another half second. This happens all the time. I have called Lenovo tech support about six times already, tried changing driver settings in Device Manager, and even asked online chat staff to help them. But they still want me to send it back for repair. They said they can add 90 days to my warranty if I go through again. Do you think there is a way to fix this? I have already tried uninstalling the audio driver in Device Manager.

Happy New Year! It looks like you might have a lot of problems, especially since you mentioned it. Please put your laptop's serial number on Lenovo's website so they can look at it for you. You will see a special page just for your laptop. Check if there are any BIOS updates waiting to happen. You can use the program called CPU-Z to find out what version of the BIOS is currently listed under the "Mainboard" section. After that, try uninstalling your audio drivers and then reinstalling them by right-clicking on the installer and choosing "Run as Administrator." You should also take a backup of any important stuff you have because it's very likely you could have one more issue: either 1) your internal audio ribbon cable might be loose if the audio module or board is actually a daughterboard. If that isn't the case, then 2) your operating system is corrupt and that was the main reason for the problem.
