Sometimes when I game or am looking at something my computer "stutters" or just freezes for a few moments then goes back to normal.
What happens:
- Entire desktop/apps freeze for a second or two.
- Peripherals lock up and I walk in a straight line in game while this happens.
- My microphone doesn't work in discord anymore. It shows up, just doesn't pick up anything.
- A temporary fix is to just re-plug the mic and it works again(or select my input device in discord to default and then back again)
... for a few seconds then people say I sound like a robot and then cuts out again.
- Audio bugs
This is in special circumstances listed below:
- When discord is open
- When I go on the Ubisoft app (100%)
- Other instances where there is a video playing? Maybe intensive software?
- Sometimes it never happens
- Seemingly randomly
What I have done:
- Tried a different mic, other mics do the same thing. It's not the mic.
- Uninstall and reinstalled ALL drivers
- Updated graphics drivers
- Completely re-installed discord
- Unplugged and re-plugged the microphone, used different usb slots
- Frequently checked task manager for weird spikes
My Specs:
Mic: USB Mic
OS: Windows 11
MOBO: Gigabyte Aorus X570 Elite
Monitor: Odyssey G9
Keyboard: Glorious GMMK Custom
Mouse: Logi G Pro
CPU: R9 3900X
GPU: RTX 3080 FE
Memory: 2x8 3600MHz G.Skill Cl16
I assume it's either an issue with my CPU, USB hub, or some software bugging out.
I am at my wit's end on this issue, I can't figure it out. It hate it when I'm playing competitive games and people can't hear me and my game just stops working randomly.
Someone please help.
