So my headphones broke... Great start... And I'm broke but luckily I use a TV which has speakers as a second monitor. But there's one big issue. Whenever I play games/watch youtube videos or really anything that requires audio, after some time the sound just cuts out and if I'm watching a video it goes in slow motion. It seems a reboot always does the trick. This didn't happen with my headphones, and I haven't installed any new software since.

Is the TV your default audio setting?

From my brief history with a mp3 player amplifier, this sounds like a capacitor has broken down. Don't know how to explain the slow motion other than that the broken capacitor may disturb the entire closed circut that is your TV, which is a dumb design, BTW. The reason a reboot works is that the capacitor is just kind of semi broken. 

 

MY advice is to either take the TV in for repair or if not worth it, buy something new for sound and video down the line. 

Bob's your uncle!

yeah. Connected through HDMI.

Tried messing around with GPU audio settings? Change anything you think might be relevant and see if the problem is still there. Thats my usual way of troubleshooting. Its most probably a software, not hardware, problem so this might help.

Well, after reinstalling the GPU drivers bout 2 times I gave up and did something a wimp would do and grabbed my phone headphones. I have no idea what to do. I've discovered that if I have that TV audio issue, if I switch the default device to my headphones, it fixes the problem but the sound from the tv also comes out with A LOT of interference and usually just stops again after a while. It's really annoying.

What went wrong with your original headphones?
