Windows 10: Video Stutter/Audio Buzz

For the past couple of weeks I have been getting stuttering video and a buzz in the audio. It started with listening to Spotify, the audio with just buzz for a few seconds then the PC would crash, no blue screen it would just restart. The reboots have stopped, but now the video is stuttering and when it stutters, there is a buzz in the audio.

It's a Ryzen 1600, ASRock B450 Pro, 16GB ram, RX 560 GPU. I updated the chipset, GPU and audio drivers. Nothing helped.Did the DISM and sfc/scannow, corrupted files were found and fixed but the problem is still there. In the Reliability History there are several 117 and 141 errors.


Rebooting will fix it temporarily, but the problem eventually returns.

Video Stutter/Buzz In Audio

Windows 10

 

Windows 10 very brief audio stutter/buzzing/glitching everywhere

Try running DPC Latency Checker
https://www.thesycon.de/eng/latency_check.shtml . When the stutter buzz happens, always about 1-2 seconds later my latency graph report goes from 600 microseconds to 300,000 microseconds.
It might be at the same time as the stutter, but only that the latency checker has a lag until it reports.
There seems a direct correlation between the stutter and the high latency.



That program gives a suggestion to my specific report that “some device drivers on this machine behave bad and will cause drop-outs in real-time audio and/or video streams”.
They go on to give suggestions to disable various drivers in Device Manager and see if they are the bad ones.



I also just tried something gamers do by disabling Dynamic Tick, but that made no difference.

 

Buzzing/ stuttering sound when playing audio or video files

Since upgrading to Windows 10 I am hearing a loud buzzing/stuttering sound when listening to any audio file and also during video files. I always listen to lots of music on my PC and it's driving me crazy. I find that help forums are littered with this
problem. Please don't recommend me to use the sound troubleshooter or to update drivers as it doesn't work. I can't seem to find anyone on forums who has seemed to overcome this problem. Thinking of purchasing a Mac !
