Windows 10 Audio Desync

[saladcrack]

So randomly out of the blue my computer wants to not properly sync audio on most if not all of the things I watch via Chrome like YouTube and Amazon Prime Video. While watching a movie on Prime it takes not even five minutes until the audio is noticeably off from the visuals and it starts to become an old Japanese film. On YouTube it is either completely fine or the audio is off within a minute. I've changed audio sources (doesn't seem to be a problem when playing through my monitor speakers), I've updated flash player and I've looked at updating my Realtek audio crap but Windows can't find any updates and all I get are shady links when I google it. It's only become a problem in the past couple hours which makes it even more weird. I've also ran the generic Windows audio troubleshooting thing and the only thing it fixed was my audio format which I had set to a different frequency in hopes of fixing the problem so yeah problem solved Microsoft, thanks a lot...NOT. Can anybody help with this?

This may be hard to troubleshoot... 

 

one thing, when you use your display speakers, those are running by the GF 1070 (I think you use DP or HDMI) and not with the onboard sound connected.

 

Reasons I know can do that: 

 

- overclocking

- using hardware acceleration with chrome

- windows updates (not the service but a crappy update)

 

For Realtek drivers, try to find out which realtek device you have on your machine, then get the driver from realteks own website, which looks shady for sure =) quite outdated for todays standards.

 

This all looks like a timing problem between your onboard sound and your gf 1070... this usually happens due to overclocking.

Ah so it can happen just by the mobo and GPU being out of sync? Weird but I guess that makes sense. I restarted my computer and it fixed everything. Nothing on my computer is overclocked though so idk why it happened but it did

I run my machine overclocked... some times the time gets out of whack... gaining a few ms... then my webradio begins to stutter, because the timecode sent isn't matching... after a reboot all is well again...  other times just restarting the radio stream is working as well for some time.
