Unexpected pause in speech audio.
Unexpected pause in speech audio.
Hi everyone. Since I built my PC in 2020 I have had an issue where my audio would suddendly stutter for 0.5-1s. I coudn't find anything that triggers this or any cause so I thought that if there's someone who has any idea I would find them here. Description of the issue: Sudden audio stutter for 0.5-1s. Everything goes back to normal afterwards. Happens at random, sometimes multiple times a week sometimes once in 3 months. Coudn't replicate the issue willingly -> happens at random while watching videos, gaming or listening to music on Spotiy. Things I have tried: Reinstalling Windows Reinstalling Drivers - Audio, Video, CPU etc. Went from Windows 10 to 11 -> Issue remains Tried front and back IO Don't think there's anything wrong with temps since it happens under low, medium and high loads. Hardware + Software: Ryzen 3700X -> No OC Corsair H100i Platinum AIO RTX 2070 Super -> no OC Corsair Vengeance 16GB 3200 mHz -> XMP enabled, Dual Channel (2x8) MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max Samsung 870 EVO -> 5 Years old now (C-Drive) but according to Samsung Tool still in good shape Corsair RM 750 -> oldest part in the system (6yrs) Windows 10 -> Windows 11 (Issue remained) Maybe it's the power supply since it's the oldest part but since the issue happens at random during low or high loads I think it's unlikely (let me know if it isn't) I know this is an extremely difficult thing to troubleshoot because there really isn't any information but I am desperate and looking for possible issues instead of fixes so I can try to find the source of the problem. Thank you guys.
Your sample rate and bit depth are displayed in the control panel under sounds.
Antivirus not found. Windows Defender is off. Need to turn off XMP; the problem keeps happening so results might take a few weeks to confirm.
It seems like you're suggesting the problem might be with the motherboard.
