Windows 10: Audio keeps cutting off.

My audio keeps cutting out after launching an application. Everything would seem fine but after a few seconds all audio would cut off and whenever I tried to watch a video it would start to buffer. Everything else works fine except the audio. I have searched online for posts related to my issue and found some. One that is very similar to mine talks about how every time they tried to launch Minecraft bedrock edition it cut off all audio and YouTube would start to buffer. I have tried troubleshooting, and it says it couldn't find anything wrong. I have updated my audio driver. All of the issues

Audio keeps cutting

Hi, I always had issues with the audio driver on my computer somewhy. Yesterday I installed Realtek 6.0.8702.1 which is listed as the compatible audio driver for my motherboard (ASUS PIRIME H310-K R2.0).

Rolling back/updating the driver does not fix the issue.

I ran the troubleshooter multiple times, but it could not find a fix.

No matter which port I plug my speaker in (jbl charge 4) the audio still keeps cutting, but when i use a headset, I have no issues.

I tried reinstalling the driver multiple times.

It is really frustrating, I hope we can find a solution!

 

Laptop cuts audio when Alt-Tabbing

Hi, A. McEwan

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.



It sounds like you're experiencing an audio issue related to your laptop's behavior during certain tasks. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this problem:

1. Update Audio Drivers: Visit the HP support website for your specific laptop model and ensure that you have the latest audio drivers installed. Sometimes outdated drivers can cause issues with audio playback and input.
   
2. Disable Audio Enhancements:
   
   • Right-click on the speaker icon in the taskbar, select "Sound settings," and then click on "More sound settings."
     
   • Find your default playback device, right-click on it, and select "Properties."
     
   • Go to the "Advanced" tab and uncheck the checkbox in front of "Enable audio enhancements" to see if it improves the audio stability.
     
3. BIOS and Firmware Updates: Check for any available BIOS or firmware updates for your HP Omen 16 laptop. Sometimes system firmware updates can address hardware-related issues.
   
4. Restart Audio Services: Open the Windows Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc), go to the “Services” tab, and restart the following services:
   
   Windows Audio
   
   Windows Audio Endpoint Builder
   
5. Check other social software besides Discord or software that uses audio (such as conferencing software and music software) to see if the same audio cutting problem exists.
   

If the issue persists, consider reaching out to HP support or the support team for the specific audio hardware on your laptop. They may have additional troubleshooting steps or be aware of known issues related to your particular hardware configuration.

Given that you've already performed a full reset of your laptop without success, it's important to explore these specific troubleshooting steps to isolate and potentially resolve the audio cutting issue. Additionally, keeping your system and drivers up to date is crucial for optimal performance and stability.
