Hello, my audio interface is dropping out randomly (light turns out for a second and then backs on… this blinking occures randomly, usually once in a minute) when playing any audio, whether it’s youtube or vlc or anything else.
This never happened on my old pc, it started just now when I got a new pc.
This is my new pc details:
OS: Windows 10 Pro
mobo: x99
cpu: i7-6800k
gpu: nvidia gtx 1660 super
ram: 32 gb
1 ssd (windows), 1 HDD
psu: 750w
I have read many threads and it seems like there were multiple users having the same issue with this motherboard, so this could be it but I am not sure.
I tried these steps already which didn’t solve the problem:
switching to every usb 2.0 ports
disabling ethernet and wlan drivers
turning off power management for every usb driver
changing usb cable for the soundcard
changing sata port for the main SSD
installing fresh new windows
installing drivers from manufacturers for gpu, motherboard and ethernet
unplugging all the other peripherals connected to usb
The stutters are not always random, sometimes it’s when the cpu gets a new task (opening explorer, chrome, or starting a task manager etc…)
Can someone please help me, maybe suggest what I can try?
I am currently thinking about installing a new ssd. Maybe psu?
