Hello everyone!First of all, its the HP ZBook Power G10 mobile workstationSpecs:13th Gen IntelR CoreTM i7-13700H 2.40 GHzNVIDIA RTX A1000 6GB16GB RAMSo, when im using my computer in every situation watching videos, typing, etc my pc freezes for a short period of time quite frequently, what is really annoying. Want to add that being on fullscreen has no effect and while the screen freezes the audio and outputs from the mouse and keyboard still work.Thank you for all your time!

Annoying audio delay for 2 seconds after at least 30 seconds of no sound played

I bought a new fresh Lenovo Ideapad S340 which everything seems to be pretty fine at first until i connected my headphones. My computer's audio have a silent 2 second delay that is caused after leaving the pc to not play any sound or any video in the system
for at least 30 seconds. I've tried most of the recurring solutions around the internet but none of them did work out of my frustration:

• Uninstalling the Realtek driver from Device Manager and restarting my computer.
• Replacing the Realtek driver from Device Manager with a generic High Definition Audio driver. It seems to work but instead of the 2 second delay it played a bothering popping sound everytime it starts playing audio after at least 30 seconds of silence.
• Disabling hardware acceleration from the Control Panel's audio settings.

Such a problem is making me struggle a lot with no end and i've only paid a lot for this. I don't want such laptop that has this particular, annoying audio problem that seems to be utterly unresolvable.

I heard that it might be some idling system that is doing this but i'm not entirely sure.

EDIT: I don't use Intel but AMD Ryzen 5.

 

pc freeze for a split second

every about 3-5 seconds my pc freezes for 1-2 seconds, im pretty sure its something to do with nvidia but i dont know (it freezes the audio too)

 

Failure in switching audio from laptop to second monitor

Hello, CluelessCL

Welcome to Microsoft Community.



Thank you for describing the issue you're facing with switching audio output from your laptop to the second monitor via HDMI. It's essential to have a seamless experience when using external monitors. To assist you further, I'd like to gather some more specific details:

1-Can you confirm if the issue is specific to the second monitor's speakers, or does it also occur when using other audio devices, such as external speakers or headphones?

2-Have you tried different HDMI cables or tested the monitor's audio output with another device to ensure it's functioning as expected?

3-Are you using any third-party audio management software or apps that might be affecting the audio output switching behavior?

4-Have you recently made any changes to your laptop's audio settings or installed any updates that might have coincided with the time when this issue started?

Additionally, please provide the following details:

• The make and model of your laptop.
  
• The make and model of the second monitor you're using.
  

If possible, try the following steps and let me know the results:

1. Restart your laptop while keeping the HDMI connection to the second monitor intact and then check if you can switch audio output.
   
2. Disconnect and reconnect the HDMI cable while audio is playing on your laptop to see if this triggers the audio to switch to the monitor's speakers.
   

Once I have this information, I'll be able to provide you with more targeted troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue with audio output switching between your laptop and the second monitor.

Looking forward to your response so that I can assist you further.

Best regards,
