Hey there, coming on to here as a last resort.

I am experiencing pretty frequent dropouts/system stutters when playing audio. I think it started within the past 2 weeks, but it is getting a lot more frequent and it's pretty unworkable now. It is most notable when using my music production software, but happens after a while when playing back any sort of audio in a web browser/spotify, after a certain period of time.

I have tried

- Updating BIOS
- Uninstalling/Reinstalling Audio and Graphics card drivers
- Disabling my Network Card (LatencyMon pinned this as a potential issue)
- Updating/uninstalling/re-installing Network Card Drivers
- Playing with several Power Management settings in the system/NVIDIA control panel


System had been running smoothly for years even when the Production Software is slamming the CPU, so I am hoping it is just a driver/software issue. Either way I am running out of places to look and could use some help navigating through the log files to pinpoint where to start checking.


I am running a music production business so I am starting to get freaked out if I have to put my work on hold. 🙃

THANKS IN ADVANCE TO WHOEVER CAN HELP ME OUT
 
Hi!

Uninstall AVG.
If this won't solve the problem, uninstall MBAM.
If even this won't solve the problem, we'll check other things.
(You'll reinstall avg and mbam later, when hopefully we have solved the problem).
