How do I fix TH-cam stuttering?
This fix works with Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 10.
Why does my TH-cam sound choppy? I will show you How to Fix Sound or Audio Problems on Windows 10. I have be plagued with audio issues on Windows 10, I get interference when recording audio, I suffer a number of issues with audio, like popping, crackling, stuttering and when playing games I get robotic voice which is probably cause by buffer underrun and the same goes when streaming audio.
Stuttering audio, Sound Lag and Crackling Audio when stream videos on TH-cam, these are all very common and hopefully this fix will resolve your problem.
Why is Windows 10 causing audio distortion/stuttering with Realtek?

I have windows 8.1 and there's no power throttling section in the Select Columns.
Britec09 Hello, when i play games my laptop stops making crackling sound but when I just do normal internetting it just starts crackling inside. But this has norting to deal with the sound? Help pls
thank u old man
I love u man, omg
who else is watching this on some crackling headphones lol
Pls tell me how did you solve it
@@riverhydra999 did someone solve it??
@@wencente6577 I just asked if anyone had solved it
@@wencente6577 f you want any software for free tell me i will make a video on that. I have made video on Bandicam full version for free, adobe photoshop cs 5 for free. And now i am going to make on some paid softwares for free. I have downloaded free version if adobe animate too but not made a video on that.
me
I feel like I've tried literally everything and can't figure out why I have these stuttering robotic noises.
I have the same problem only with the External audio interface (UAD Arrow) while streaming . I tried everything and still having a problem. interesting thing is that when I record the audio in ableton everything is fine. the only issue is with streaming. When I use the desktop audio it works perfectly fine.
Fixed the problem with reaper. Sent the UAD audio to the software called reaper and from reaper I opened a plugin that comes with a software called reastream, and in OBS go under filters and add reastream as a filter (vst2). And boom u got it
I still have a latency issue .Tell me if you filling a fix would be kind of you
@@djmiansf i got the thing but with games, interesting thing is it only happens with uplay games
I just switched my sound too realtek and it worked fine. I guess the last windows 10 update wasnt compatible with my other sound system on my computer.
This issue is extremely annoying and stressful, especially when you are trying to focus on work while listening to calm music
Have u fix it ?
TRUE
OMG, you saved me! I just upgraded to Windows 10 and having this weird noise issue. Your first 2 steps already solved my issues! Thanks so much
Wow, this was super helpful! Especially since I know literally nothing about computers, lol. Within ten minutes of noticing that I had this problem, I was able to watch and easily understand this video to get it to stop! :)
When I try to record a vocal (verse) over an instrumental on Adobe audition,the playback is full of crackiling noice and if I change the 44100Hz (24bit) to (16bit) 44100 I can’t hear my instrumental anymore,I can only record what’s the problem? Thank you 🙏
thanks i can still hear the popping and crackling and now can hear my game audio
I came with a awful crackling problem and leave with clean sound....you have my like good man!
I played about with the suggestions you gave and discovered that (for me) it was the "allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" which solved the problem. I guess they've fixed a few of the other issues since this video was made, the windows enhancements actually made the sound quality much better for me. Thanks for the help!
allow applications to take exclusive control of this device you where getting popping/crackling with this activated?
@@WiseOldDudee Yes, with it activated if I remember rightly, de-activating it solved the popping and crackling problem.
Omg I've been struggling with this for ages and thought my PC might just be dying of old age, you fixed it within the first two steps. Appreciate it
NONE of this solves the popping at start and end of audio playback. I've been through 5 pages of google searches and have tried everything. Someone help me before I throw my 4 thousand dollar build out the window!
This is pissing me off so fucking much
hmm im having the same issue aswell its like it stutters and does robotic corrupted noise is it just me!?
Same problem here - I have a EVGA RTX 3080 XC3 Ultra and I have sound stuttering etc. - anyone have a fix???
Thx
@@moeuwuwu9838 omfg same and im so sick of it i would smash my computer to bits if it wasnt my life savings
Me too😩
Thanks Brian, I can't believe i overlooked some of the settings. I am also having similar issues on Win10.
Yeah it does your head in
Fantastic! I thought I had a hardware problem, and changing to 16bit 48K fixed the whole thing! Sound quality seems the smallest bit better, too. Well done!
But.... NO. He said the exact opposite, to go 44 Khz FROM 48......
Thanks very much. I put up with this problem for a long time without being able to find a solution. What a relief! I could not have possibly solved this without your help.
Thanks, this worked for me! I upgraded to Windows 10 from 8.1 and it made my audio terrible, but now it's back to normal!
The fuzzy crackling went away before I did anything, which is poor timing. So I'll have to check back in hopefully some time, to see if this worked. I was about to roll back to the previous driver, but yea.
As far as disabling all the audio enhancements... that really sucks the life out of the audio, in a way. I'll see if the other changes worked first.
Edit: Okay that didn't work. I didn't change the audio enhancements though, and I didn't do the more in depth stuff towards the end of the video.
But rolling back my audio driver to the previous one, fixed everything instantly.
My past driver was also delaying audio most of the time after I press play on youtube. It would only play the sound half a second later. Now it's instantly. So that's very good.
So awesome! Thank you for this huge effort. Crystal clear, with no glitches.
Thank you so much for this video, you are the only video that I've found that has a genuine fix for this problem and please don't ever take this video down.
Thank you so much for this help video. I was having a feedback sound problem. What worked in one of your advise was to update the device driver.
Brilliant, spent ages trying to fix the sound in Ableton live and it was windows 10 all along thank you for this video
Yep welcome to Windows UPDATE MADNESS
The first step seemed to do it for me. I was almost ready to purchase new speakers, you just saved me some money!
Thanks so much Brian !! This issue was driving me nuts. Had to reboot every couple of days to get rid of the popping. Changing to 16 bits worked like magic. Instantly no more popping. Did not have to reboot at all.
Thank you for the explanation, sir
I want to ask something at 4:04, how do we know what sub-category and version to choose? Thanl you
Thankyou so much! I thought my headset was broken, i was so frustrated. You're a legend mate!
I’ve only managed to have one problem with this, when you use the “advanced power settings” and you put it for high performance, My computer has no option to choose it and only shows the stuff above it and because of this, I still appear to have little static pops during my time. How do I fix this?
You might find that the option is in a different place... mine was. Even the first sound popup menu on my laptop is not the same as the one shown here... there is no "sounds" option. I won't tell you how to find it as it makes no difference anyway. Best advice I can give you... switch to Linux. Windows 10 is a nightmare.
when i watch a youtube video, pauses it and then rewatches it, the pc starts crackling and buzzing. I found out that restarting the PC fixes the problem. Is it a pernament fix for this? I have a Nitro 5
Thanks so much for such a helpful video. I've been plagued with issues lately and this sort them out. Cheers mate!
Thank you so much
This really did the trick
Your guidance fixed the noise problem I’ve had with my audio interface for the last year
A very clear, logical and east to follow tutorial
Many thanks
I remember I had this problem after getting my latest laptop. Good video I'm sure it'll help others in the the future
Thanks
Im having the same issue with a new model laptop i just purchased. Were you able to fix thiS?
unticking "allow apps to take exclusive control" seems to have worked for me. weird that would fix it, but it did. Thank you!
Great video ! Solved my issue of sound crackling in my headset while getting multiple sound sources (Games + Videos+ Discord) !
I thought my new headset had a diffect and was about to return it but thanks to you I won't have to. THANKS !
omg thank you so much for this, i was so worried just a while ago what went wrong with my laptop or my earphone
Easy to follow and super-informative as usual Brian. Thank you very much! 👍
Thanks for going through it all the way. It was the power setting for me!
HUGE THANKS!!! That last option done it. I couldn´t find it anywhere else only in your video. Happy :)
1:28 I MISS THIS! How do I get the older version of Realtek manager with Pitch Shift and Environment?
Thanks Brian . Great post . Never faced this trouble though I have . But one never knows when 10 gives you 10 new problems -- typical 10 style :D
I have had nothing but trouble with windows 10 and audio.
Same here dude 😂
Nailed it. Changed to "Old School" and boom. Thanks, been working on this issue for a while.
Yep! Worked first time. You're a tech genius! Thank you so much! I've subscribed!!! 😊
Great job. It fixed my problem. I have a older motherboard with a old quad core. I had no problems on Win 7. Win 10 lots of sound pops. I am using a older AMD video card with the sound going through HDMI. I tried several drivers and many other things. I had changed several sound settings several times. I still had pops. Changing from balanced power to high performance fixed my problem.
Ahhh THANK YOU! I've been having crackling and popping issues with Windows 10 while using Ableton Live 10 for months. It was driving me crazy. I tried 2 different audio interfaces and many other things with no luck. While watching this video I disabled windows 10 audio enhancements and immediately ALL of the crackling and popping stopped. Life saver.
Lol yeah.. Same here ableton 10 problem..
I do everything u said in this video but when I use my headphones . Voice is breaking. I have to change Everytime from streo mode > Free audio mode then again> streo mode to use my headphones . Or when I pause video , audio then I have to do above steps again and again. Please somebody suggest me the solution.
Yours is the most informative channel among an 10000’s of tech channels. A big thank you.
Another informative video!! Thanks, Brian -- you're the best!
Thanks
tysm bro, i bought a new headphone (redgear cloak) from amazon but when i was setting it up i thought that increasing the sampe rate would produce better audio so i set it at highest and felt that the audio was crackling and breaking when playing games. and i restored the sampling rate to default and it fixed
thank you
that was a great walkthru.. somehow whatever you showed us worked for me.. you have a talent for concise and thorough communication.. cheers =)
Thanks, Brian, for all the tipps. I still have issues recording with Windows 10, stuttering, stumbling. Thanks, have a good day.
This happened to me all the time and I just kept ignoring it, thanks!
when i right click on the sound icon it doesnt show me the "sounds" option how do i fix this?
Right click on sound icon click on "open sound settings" a popup will appear on the right side under 'related setting' click on "sound control panel" and here you go.
Kushagra Yadav im reading this soo late yoo thanks alot bro
Lots of these options were grayed out for me on my new HP compact PC, but I just switched to the heaphone jack out to the stereo and that solved the issues for me.
Thanks so much for this video. I'm holding my breath but so far so good...no audio glitching. Was driving me nuts. Thanks again.
I am glad you showed folks that programme. Better latent than never! Good and informative video.
Thanks William
My sound is crackling when im on youtube and surfing when the pages charging
I've got the same problem,I watched twitch last night and the sound just cracked more when I try opening other pages.
Same for me
same yet @Britec09 WONT EVEN FUCKING CARE TO RESPOND RIGHT
try another headphone, if the sound still crackling, uninstall the audio driver and install the new one
My voice cracks only when i play games
Than you very much, that last step with the latency monitor and it's related fixes did the trick nicely!
I reinstaled so many times the sound drivers and still in the sounds manager in "realtek digital output" says "not connected", crackles my audio on youtube, souncloud,spotify etc and NOT on netflix.... Weird... started a few weeks ago and cannot make it stop, would be awesome if you can give me any advice, thank you
Thanks for the tips.
However, regarding 7:14 - I get no option for enabling high performance, with balanced as the only possible option, so that kinda becomes a roadblock :S
(EDIT: Was since able to fix it by creating a new power plan and setting it as high performance)
Latencymon gave me a big red message though, referring to clicking and popping, smiliar to the message you received in the video. So something seems wrong :)
My audio is so sharp and beautiful now that my ears are bleeding. Thanks for the help.
Following this exactly increased crackling then made all playback devices crash and not work, I now have to reinstall each one individually. Thanks a bunch!
your welcome come back soon
Awesome - thanks it was the enhancement settings (did all of your first half of the video). HP pages are hopeless!
I dont have the option of disable all sound effects why is that?
It's within another tab now.
You are a legend. This solved my problem and saved my speakers.
Btw, I have only disabled those settings, and didnt update any drivers yet. so far so good.
Configuration : windows 10, Dell laptop.
Problem : A pop sound is produced from speakers every time I resume a youtube video,, even after a few seconds pause. This is annoying, as such static pops/cracks can damage speakers.
I just got my speakers back from repairs because of this problem , I've tried everything it doesn't go away
@@rexemrichbeatz6560 I missed to reply back on this post. The problem came back again after a restart of my pc, which i rarely do.. :(
Windows 10 is bad for speakers. Microsoft should take this issue seriously.
I tried something else, I went to Realtek website and downloaded Realtek High Definition R2.82 driver from 2017... I installed it and it seems to have solved my problem.... I also switched off Windows Automatic Updates since they deleted my newly installed driver and installed their previous one🤦🏾♂️
@@rexemrichbeatz6560 Mate! that's very logical solution. Believe it or not, I was thinking on the same lines, but haven't done anything yet. Happy for you Rex.
You fixed it! 🎉 Thank you. I can’t believe I didn’t do this months ago
Thank you for the fix! So many temporary fixes and think all these steps finally solved it.
yo so recently i noticed when ever im listening to music or i lower the volume it kinda pops and low static sound. it also happens when i click off the video so idk what it could be
yo same! I don't really know what to do with it it doesn't seem to fix. :/
@@esviar347 you fixed already or not >?
Doo Kasso yeah i went to control panel: sound: recording, chose my mic: advanced: I put the Hz and quality all the way down. It stops the noise. I don’t remember exactly cuz it was a long time ago but I hope this helps
@@esviar347 didnt help :(
Doo Kasso oof
Thanks for this, I’ve been having sound issues for nearly a week which is a pain when mixing in ableton live daw but this video has cured my pc thank you so much 😀👍😎
You have a focusrite audio interface?
Omg im in the same situation i hope it works
@@seanodonnell1271 Is your graphics card on PCIE 4.0?
@@CluckYou21 not sure im on laptop
@@CluckYou21 I have a Focusrite audio interface and this crackling occurs occasionally.
You sir, are a MASTER at what you do. Thank you very, very much.
My problem with the crackling and out-of-phase audio on a Soundblaster sb1570. All other audio devices are fine. Using windows 10 64bit build 1903.
YES THANK YOU SO MUCH I WAS GETTING SO PISSED
0:17 thought that crackling sound was my PC lol
Speakers properties is missing with the recent Windows 10 update to 1930
or whatever the service pack update number was. Anyways, dealing with crackling
and just noticed that there isn't the option for "sounds" when I select the sound icon
anymore and I also can't locate it by typing "speakers properties" in the search field
either... blahhhh just started having random audio crackling issues today.
hi, at 7:56 i don't have ''' power throttling''' in windows 8.1, how can i select that?
Worked only for a little while. Back to popping/crackling still.
Same...
Thanks Brian.
The audio issues we talked about, over on discord. Were due to my OBS setting.
Adding the Noise Gate Filter, (as per your suggestion) to the microphone, cleared things up.
I also installed and ran Latencymon. Turns out, all is fine (fingers crossed) .
We'll see what happens with the Windows 1903 update.
Glad that worked out OK for you
@@Britec09 sorry for irrelevant messag i sent you yesterday i needed to ask you some questions to help me with tutorial one is does this work any amount of ram i upgrade to windows 10 with a 3gb ram laptop
@@Britec09 i know its sounds silly i was a bit shy to talk in your discord so if i get updated drivers it will stop audio recording pops and crackels
i use an audio interface and i recently updated my BIOS and the popping noises, what would you recommend me to try? is the same as you did in the video?
This seemed to start after I uninstalled/ deleted 'windows media player network sharing' thingy. It said it oculd be deleted safely, as I dont share wmp or even use it, tho after deleting it I noticed crackling sound lag during fallout 4 gaming. Would wmp network sharing effect this?!
but I dont have the "enhancements" tab is my speaker's properties
same what should we do?
Getting random DRUM BEAT sounding sounds coming from my speakers.
same as me
Mine too
bro yo shit haunted
I think y'all are stuck in Jumanji
Ya I feel creepy with it Idn why 😂
fingers crossed this has resolved my issues. Thank God for your videos
I need help there is a buzzing sound on my USB Logitech Headset but when I touch the fan on my PSU the buzzing sound minimize. Is this a problem with my generic PSU??? I tried on updating the sound drive and adjusting on sound setting but still same problem with this buzzing sound on my headset
I dont have the enhancements tab, please help
It's within another tab now.
@@Siberius- what tab is it in?
@@dylanhayles6163 - Forgot. It's one of the ones already right there though.
Sound - Device Properties - Additional Device Properties at the bottom there under Related Settings
@@LowEndMarauder Thank you but I don't see Additional Device Properties anywhere.
I got this issue along side the newest update for windows 10.
Dude , Thank you - I've been having so many problems using my Go-X-Lr - I've been searching all over to solve it and your vid was the one that sorted it out . Nice one :)
Brilliant... sorted my issues. Thank you.
non of it work i still hear Crackling effect on my win 10 pro /asrock x370 taichi
did you ever fix the problem? i just upgraded to ryzen 3700x on this board and audio is crackling.
I don't think its a hardware issue. My mobo is Gigabyte Sniper B7, it was working fine last year, just after a recent Windows update, this shit started. I've tried almost all the solutions I found on the web, none worked. Still searching though.
Mustafa Bepari Same man, just updated it a couple days ago and it started for me too!
@@SethKingFilms I went to my motherboard manufacturer's website and downloaded the latest driver, and installed it. So far I haven't faced any issues, but very small crackles did occur a few times. Hope that helps.
Mustafa Bepari I went to my sound controls and changed the quality to CD quality and it worked actually.
You never fail us , our company is doing migration for windows 10 , Thanks for this education video, More more more Windows 10 , More power to your channel your really the bestest...💯💯💯
You're welcome Adrian, glad i could help.
Does it fix random stuttering while preforming any action?
Because my PC freezes and sometimes loops a sound. For example when watching yt my pc just freezes for like 3 secounds with loud or looped audio glitch.
Thank you for the informative video. @8:15 - What do you do if Power Throttling is enabled for one of the tasks? I am not able to disable it.
It doesn't help tho
The popping noise is still there.
what did you do then?
@@afnan9940 cry
Yep, this video is not a fix, This is just normal things to click around, might help one or few, but now the massed that have real problems.
Wooooow. Changing it to 16 bit seems to have solved my problem. Thank you so much for this. I was going fucking insane with that darn clicking noise. I thought I had a faulty motherboard since that's where my audio comes from. lifesaver
edit: nevermind. it had returned :/ it seems to be better when i restart my computer but comes back after a while
the latest audio drivers from my mboard manufacturer sorted me out, thanks man!
Lowering the quality to CD helped me get rid of this pesky crackling. Thanks.
My solution ended up being to unplug my mousepad
LoL i first read your comment as, u buttplugged your mousepad.
Chris my solution was to desactivate microphone
fancy making a video , speaking on a subject that everyone has a crackling sound lol so people with said crackling sound cant hear you
Where you change the bitrate is greyed out on my laptop. Its stuck on dvd quality. Any way around this?
Thanks man, i'd been dealing with the digital lag sound for ove a year, i thought to try changing the bit rate on my own but that didnt fix anything for me, then i found your vid and tried the tick box for allowing other programs to mess with, and still nothing, but then i got to your power throtling part and low and behold that was it. Thanks again for fixing a problem ive had for over a year that only constant restarts would fix for a few hours max.
Too much audio popping I can't understand a word.
subtitles
Thank you. Has Windows 10 changed since this video because I didn't find those tabs. I did click on a sound troubleshooter and that seemed to fix it.
Does anyone know is the sound going static-y like that indicate a HD problem? I got the BSOD the other day but this time with a stop check message. It said it had to reboot but it got stuck at 0% and so I rebooted myself and since then it's been fine but should I be concerned?
Thanks dude, unchecking Exclusive Mode finally stopped the Windows 10 Netflix app from dropping audio and popping.
Hey Brian. I did what you showed in this video. It worked but I still have a tiny bit of popping when I talk to my microphone in OBS The part When you go to playback device & mess with Speakers realtek audio, Is It okay to do all those settings you did on the speakers one to the realtek digital output? The speaker one is disabled for me
