Bizzare Audio Error

MopuD · February 23, 2023

For the last few weeks I've been having this weird issue, where I can hear an audio stutter every few hours/minutes depending on what I'm doing. It's a short buzzing noise not even lasting a second, but when playing certain games (in this instance "For Honor" and the new "Sons of the forest") it crashes my microphone in discord. I have a simple USB mic and it only happens in those 2 games so far. Overwatch and League of Legends work fine without disabling the mic, even tho the buzzing noise occurs sometimes. I have had a soundcard installed, that crashed when the buzzing noise appeared and therefore crashed my whole audio, I have since removed the sound card, but the issue still occurs. I have no idea what could be causing this. I build my PC a few months ago and the error appeared ~a bit over a month ago. Please help.

Did you also uninstall the drivers for the sound card? Are you using headphones through just the onboard jack on the PC case or the motherboard or are you using speakers?

I didnt uninstall the drivers. Through the mother board, using headphones. But the issues has been fixed after resetting my whole PC. So it seems to have been a software error, which is fine, since I was mostly concerned that it was a hardware issue. Thank you for offering help anyways.
