Windows 10: Interesting sound and lag on computer.

Hi


I am pretty much at a loss for what to do here. Ever since updating to Windows 2004, I have had the following problems:

My computer will all-of-a-sudden become sluggish, making robotic sounds through the speakers slow down the mouse and make the computer unbearable.


These are the solutions that provide a VERY temporary fix to these issues:

• Uninstalled the mouse driver. Fixed for a day.
• Uninstalled and reinstalled an updated audio driver. Fixed for a day.
• Uninstall and reinstall mouse driver. Fixed for about 10 minutes.

I have tried different mouses, and the computer will still lag when the sound driver is uninstalled and disconnected.


Memory check was all okay no issues.


Any suggestions?

Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1660ti

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue

 

Sound Quality

One thing that sticks out from looking at your "My Computer" specs. You list "ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)" which suggests you do not have the correct sound hardware driver. Your motherboard has Realtek sound and the first step is to install the Realtek sound drivers. My ASUS also came with Sonic Studio 2 which is a sound enhancement package. Check the ASUS install disc to see if you have something similar.

May not be a speaker problem.
