Windows 10: Sound stuttering

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this as this is my first post.

My partner gave me his old laptop after updating to an alienware laptop and I've been having nothing but problems with the sound on the one he gave me.
He didn't have this problem when he had it *Sad

When I listen to music, netflix or something that is on my hdd the sound seems to stutter. Ive read a few forums or people experiencing the same thing but nothing I've tried that they suggested worked (maybe I was doing it wrong).

This is my last resort otherwise I'll bin it and buy a new laptop, I know that may sound harsh or silly but its getting to the point where its becoming so annoying nothing I've tried worked.

I tried reformatting the laptop, I thought something that I installed was clashing with a program - it still happened.
I made sure everything is updated (drivers etc)


Any advice would be awesome.

Laptop stutter

Since some time my laptop has a stutter.

The mouse freezes once every second and then shoots further into the direction it was moving. Also typing has a stutter, when a button is pressed during the stutter it does nothing. I can hear the stutter when there is no sound playing, the sound is making
a very soft plopping sound.

But when I'm watching movies, the sound doesn't stutter and the video plays very smooth. Also the stutter seems to disappear when my laptop is on for about 2 hours.

My laptop is an Asus n56vz, running windows 10.

I don't know how to get rid of this problem and can't find a topic with the same problem

 

HTC Surround e-mail alert sound stutters

This thread seems to have died but I am a new HTC HD7 owner and my alert sounds stutter almost everytime. The only times the sounds do not stutter is when I am using the phone and the alert plays. If the screen is blank and the phone is locked it will stutter
every alert sound.

Its not the end of the world but surely it should be something that is easily fixed?

 

Hi, there are several long threads on the topic of stutter.. this is usually not easily resolved.

Please first search the forum for 'stutter', see if anything helps, keep a record of what you've tried, and then post back.

It's a while since this topic arose- please make sure your Win 10 is up to date.

Note- this was originally a Win 7 laptop; seems some updates for Win 10 are available:

Worth checking.

Good luck!

 

I tried so many different things the last few days after giving up I came across a post on another website, someone suggested to update the wireless LAN driver.

So far I have had no stuttering of any sound be it music on itunes or netflix.
