So if you read the tags you understand my Dilemma, I have a Windows 10 professional, fun gaming rig a built a few months back. I've never had any problems with the sound before.
I have an NVIDIA 970 running the sound and video through an HDMI
Also I bought a Focusrite Scarlet solo installed the software (delicately and properly) and have a pair of Beyerdynamics 880 premiums plugged in through an 1/8" cable.
It only lags when I run it through their driver.
Thought it might be some problem with the NVIDIA driver so I uninstalled it, checked and restored my disk. Nothing.
Thought it might be my motherboard's audio driver (Realtek) so I uninstalled that, and checked it, and restored it. Nope
Thought it might be a weird hard drive problem so I defragged it, nah.
Just watching Youtube it does it, and it's starting to tick me off.
I FINALLY SAVE UP AND BUY NICE HEADPHONES AND THEY DON'T WORK ON MY PC, NOOOOOOOOOOOO. HELP! When they aren't lagging they sound like heaven, and I just them to work liddat all the time!
Also interestingly enough the usb ports on the front of the case don't work anymore.
EDIT: Sometimes I should type slower.
EDIT: Pigeon for style.
