Windows 10: Audio pops and tears on Youtube and any type of video streaming site.

I must say that I've looked into this problem for quite a long time now. Here are some of my observations.

Upgraded HDD to SSD, thinking it was the dying HDD that was the cause of the problem but that did not help.

Discovered LatencyMon and gave that a shot. As long as I'm not doing anything related to youtube or any heavy websites, it stays in the green for all 4 dials. Whilst listening to music on groove and typing this post, latencymon is all green. I now proceed to open a new tab and open Youtube and BAAM, latencymon is now all red and the audio just popped. I play a video and 2 of the dials go off the chart.





It gives these 2 .sys files which I presume are the culprit to the pops.

Another thing I did is connecting the laptop via ethernet and when I do that, latencymon stays in the green even when I go on youtube and play a video at 1080p, which it would normally not play without popping every 5 seconds. Offline videos also work, no pops or tears. It seems to only happen when I'm connected to the internet though wifi and streaming or loading a heavy website.

My guess is that my wifi card(Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1030) is just too old and might be running on legacy drivers for all I know.

My question is whether there is anything I could do to fix it OR do I need a new wifi card, something like an Intel 7260HMW?

If anyone could help me with this I'd be really grateful to them.

Youtube Audio and Video go out of sync in Chrome

Just as a confirmation, do other video broadcast websites have the same problem?

If it only happens to YouTube, you could refer to the following steps:

1. Delete all your cookies and cached images from chrome for all time.
   
2. Sign out of your Google account and open YouTube.
   
3. Open YouTube and click settings in the top right and sign into your account from there. (it will look really weird to do, not like the usual login for your account).
   
4. Once this is done close the tab you used to login to YouTube.
   
5. Open a new tab and open YouTube again (either through favourites or typing it in).
   
6. Sign into your account via the button in the top right corner and the issue should be fixed.

If it is common, reinstall the graphics drivers and try with a shorter HDMI cable.

Hope these are helpful.
