PC freeze when audio is enabled

Hi Ben,

This issue likely occurs if your audio driver needs to be updated. We'd like to know a few things so we can better address your concern.

• Have you made any changes prior to the issue?
• Are you getting any error messages?

Meanwhile, to troubleshoot your freezing issue with Windows 10, we suggest updating your audio driver. To do so, refer to this
link. If Windows doesn't find a new driver, you can try checking for one on your device manufacturer's website.
Additionally, we also recommend updating your motherboard chipset drivers.

Get back to us with the result.

Next time you shutdown use this procedure
Step 1: Open Start menu, select Power button.

Step 2: Press and hold the Shift key on keyboard, while clicking on Shut down, and then release the Shift key to perform a full shutdown.

See if it still freezes on then starting

 

PC freeze when audio is enabled

I've had this pc for 4 years and not once did it give me any trouble. Last week it started hard freezing and audio looping for 4 seconds until i need to manually reboot. This problem only occurs when my audio device is enabled.

I've already done a cpu test,gpu test, memtest, clean intall of win10.

My psu readings seem normal in bios.

I have no idea what might be causing this because the pc runs really smooth in everyway except these strange freezes because of audio.

I also tried hdmi audio that's included in my gpu so the problem shouldnt be in the motherboard. What am i missing?
