Games and audio constantly stuttering

Hello,

I've ran into an issue where games and audio keep stuttering. I think the same applies to videos and even OS in general, but its much less visible there. But in some games the thing turns extreme and the game stutters multiple times per second (not dependent
on high or low end games). Although video varies, what is consistent is audio stuttering. Any audio at all times will have stutters from 2 times per second to once per a few seconds. It sounds as if the audio stops for a moment and then continues.

I build this PC a few months ago and recently updated to an RTX 2080 TI, did not have issues before that, but didnt have issues straight after upgrading either. I think it started a few weeks after that. I've reinstalled windows, reinstalled GPU and audio
drivers multiple times. Tried switching from NVIDIA game ready drivers to studio drivers, but alas, no help.

An interesting thing is that when I restart my PC and play a game just after, It'll run just fine without any stutters for the first 10-15 minutes, but after that the game becomes completely unplayable.

If its important in detecting the issue, the other components of the PC are:

G.SKILL Trident Z RGB Black 16x4GB 3600MHz

ASUS TUF Gaming X570-plus motherboard

ADATA XPG Gammix S50 1TB NVM SSD

Ryzen 9 3900x CPU

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've gone through a ton of threads of people telling stories of having a similar issue on windows, but not on linux distros. I've tried so many options and after dealing with this issue for over a month there seems
to be none left. Anyone got an idea?

edit: if i remember correctly, this appeared after either a windows 10 or a driver update.

Thanks

 

Audio driver conflict causing stuttering?

Hi Techhelper89,

Unfortunately, I did the instructions as mentioned in the thread and the stuttering persists. I used the link provided: and the steps requested

http://www.tweaking.com/files/setups/tweaking.com_windows_repair_aio_setup.exe

I also tried reinstalling the Realtek Audio drivers as suggested by the thread to no avail.

I've also added some links of how the stuttering looks and sounds like to the main post of this thread. I hope it helps identify the issue.

One more thing I noticed after the above steps is that I can boot with Nvidia HD Audio drivers disabled but the stuttering persist. Enabling then disabling "cures" the stuttering for a while. Although, when this is happening while the Nvidia Audio drivers are
disabled (as there is an enable option) the icon doesn't look like one that is normally disabled (with a small circular arrow down icon).

Cheers,

Ben

 

Bluetooth audio stuttering

Thankyou for your suggestions.

I tried the above methods as suggested by you, but the problem still persists.

My bluetooth headset works perfectly fine on other devices.

Whenever I connect my headset to my laptop it works fine for about 10 to 15mins.

Then slowly the audio starts stuttering and becomes worse over time.

Sometimes the headset automatically disconnects.

However this stops when I disconnect my Wifi.

My system model is- HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15-ec0100

Manufacturer- HP
