Audio / System Lag Randomly

[dontBlink]

Okay so recently my computer started having this issue where it'd randomly have a small lag spike and it would mess up my microphone causing it to stutter constantly until I did Restart Audio Engine on Voicemeeter. I am having another issue that is popping up more frequently now that is actually forcing me to make this forum post now.

 

I am having another issue where I have a lag spike but then I have constant stuttering with my computer / audio and it wont go away unless i restart my computer. I've had one occasion where if I changed some settings or closed the game i was running within 2 - 5 minutes it reset back to normal (gtaV)

Ryzen 9 3900x

GTX 1080ti

Here are most of my settings / control panel settings.

 

If I set my A1 output to WDM i get a loud buzzing noise along side of it.

also using a higher WDM buffering to hopefully have fixed the issue but it hasnt.

Lag is in discord? or overall?

The lag is overall  but yes friends do hear the microphone lag.

One thing i was told was it could be an issue with how I have my virtual cables setup.

I've updated my BIOS and I currently haven't experienced the system-wide stuttering. But I am still getting a small micro-stutter that ends up making my microphone cut in and out quickly. It's such a small stutter now to the point where I barley even notice it anymore having to have friends notify me if my mic is messed up.
