    Audio buzzing/stuttering during videos/games


    After my computer did its usual updates, I've noticed a sound issue whenever I've been trying to play games/watch videos. At regular intervals the audio will freeze/skip for a second and make a loud grinding noise, then resume. This happens with music, streaming videos, games, pretty much everything. If I'm watching a video or playing a game, the screen will freeze for a second, then resume.

    I'm using a Dell Inspiron N4110 laptop with Windows 7

    I assume I need to install a new driver or something, but I am pretty computer illiterate and don't exactly know what I need/where I need to get it from/how to figure out what I need.

    Was hoping someone could help here.

    Since the screen will "freeze", suggests the sound problems are just a result of whatever is causing the PC to hang up and not directly a sound problem. Thus another forum section would be more applicable than the sound section.

    You can run the Resplendence Latency Mon program and that may help, if you can figure it out as it gives you "information overload".

    I'm not entirely sure what happened. It had another set of updates and since those have gone into effect the things been fine. I appreciate the help everyone and I'll pop back if it comes up again.
