Audio Nightmare

MastuhWaffles · January 16, 2019

Okay so I am having a horrible audio nightmare. Recently awhile ago I was having some odd issues. I was using a Hyper X Cloud 2, and what was happening is random audio issues. One of them would be that I was watching a youtube video, I'd pause it and come back, only for it to tell me audio render error please restart your computer. After maybe 6 times refreshing the video worked again. When I joined a discord server I would have to connect a couple times before audio worked. And not all the audio would work, such as the sound for people joining and leaving would be absent. I also have wallpaper engine running in the background, when I am on desktop it plays snake eater, but during this time it stopped. However all my game audio seemed to work, minus a really old game I played where I had to unplug and replug in my headset. After a while I figured it was my old Cloud 2's dying, so I picked up a pair of HS60's and it's worse. I have confirmed the headset works well with my laptop, but on my desktop it goes haywire, with the HS60 or the cloud 2. During startup I can hear the system start up, snake eater plays on the desktop, and I open up a video on youtube which works for around 10 seconds and I can hear the audio lag, then it quits. After that I have 0 audio, whether it is my monitor speakers or anything. When I go to restart I can hear the windows shutdown tone, and when it restarts the same thing happens. I have had a few restarts where my audio works, but I have no mic input. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the realtek hd audio drivers, started my pc up with all the audio drivers disabled and it does the same thing. Windows troubleshooting is useless as always. If I click on my HS60s on the playback sounds and go to test it says "failed to play test tone". Does anyone have any idea on what to do with this audio nightmare?

It possibly feels like my mobo is dying, as I've had my old Cloud 2's shock me through the headset, and I recently took a usb stick out of my computer and it crashed.

Can I give you some hints to a better post which will result in better answers?

If you could organize your thoughts into paragraphs you will get better quality responses.

For instance

Intro to the problem at hand

Next paragraph what you did to fix it

Next paragraph

Otherwise no one will bother! Like I didnt even bother, and most people will do the same.

Quote

Introduction - introduce the problem you will be discussing
in your article or write a short story of your experience
with the problem.

Body - discuss all the solutions to the problem you
outlined in the introduction. Break up each point into
separate paragraphs and keep them to about 5 lines. You may
want to create a sub-heading for each point. This makes it
easier to read as most people will scan your article when
reading it online, or not even bother and move onto the next article.

Conclusion - this should include a brief summary of your
article and a call for the reader to take action. i.e. "Be
sure to include article marketing as one of the top
strategies for promoting your web site. It's a self
generating marketing machine that produces a constant flow
of visitors".
