I just finished building my new PC, and everything has been running smoothly except for one frustrating issue. While I'm gaming or watching YouTube, I experience random audio cutouts followed by stuttering or lagging in the game's cutscenes or videos. This is really getting on my nerves! I've updated my BIOS and checked all drivers to make sure they're current, but I'm still stumped. My setup includes:
- OS: Windows 11
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
- MOBO: TUF GAMING B850-PLUS WIFI
- RAM: 64 GB (2 × 32)
- GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT
Could it be that I'm overloading the GPU, or is there a known issue I'm overlooking? I need to resolve this before it drives me crazy!

It sounds like there might be a conflict with your audio settings. Have you checked if the audio output from your GPU is interfering with the onboard audio? Sometimes these conflicts can cause the issues you're describing.
Would that really cause video stuttering too? I've been playing Monster Hunter Wilds, and seeing characters freeze during cutscenes is super distracting. It doesn’t affect regular gameplay, but those moments are rough!
