Windows 10: Windows 11 - Choppy audio and performance

I recently upgraded to windows 11 after experiencing consistent blue screens - the issue was only fixed after updating my Nvidia driver.But since then, I have crackling audio and laggy performance at all times. I've tried everything I can think of - fresh reinstall, updating all drivers, various tutorials changing settings.Any idea what else I can try to solve this issue? Maybe there's a driver I haven't successfully updated?

My audio is very choppy?

That bad is audio with both my PC headset and TV. In Device Manager > Sound, Video and game controllers, and Sound > Playback tab, I've got listed:

• Mpow HC (headset)
• NVIDIA High Definition Audio (TV)
• Realtek Audio

In Device Manager, the context menu of each is the same. In Sound, the default device is NVIDIA High Definition Audio. When trying to troubleshoot, via settings, I get:





I don't know which to choose. Troubleshooting via the Taskbar speaker icon hadn't helped.

 

Choppy video and audio afterWindows 11 update

Ever since I updated Windows 11, video and audio playback has been choppy. I cant even press the pause button to stop a video, it just keeps playing on. I tried restarting may times, updating graphics card driver, audio driver, etc, but nothing seems to work. And i just bought my laptop 2 months ago. It runs on the ryzen 7 4000 series.

 

Choppy audio in videos recorded through Game bar

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand that the game audio is choppy in the recording. This generally happens when the recording is not ended correctly. We can try restarting the service for Game bar and see if that helps in resolving the issue. Please follow the steps mentioned
below:

1. Close the game and Game bar.
   
2. Press and hold Ctrl + Shift + Esc
   keys together to open Task Manager.
   
3. Click on More details.
   
4. Look for BcastDVRUserService, and click on
   End Task.
   
5. Restart the game and try recording again.
   

You can change the settings how the audio is recorded and see if that helps in resolving the Audio issue. Please navigate to
Settings (Windows key + I) >> Gaming >> Captures >> Recorded audio. You can change the Audio quality, and change the Microphone and System volume.


Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.
