Hello!
For the past couple of days I’ve been having some strange issues with my pc.
The first time I noticed that something was not right was when I was listening to a YouTube video. I left the video playing in the background and I pulled up the Steam window and I noticed the audio was getting choppy. I then reverted back to the video and it was all fine. I brought up the Steam window to see if it’s the culprit and the audio went bad again. (video)
Note: in the video I reproduced the problem using Steam's music player instead of YouTube
It appears that interaction with the window will cause this. I tried the same thing with Origin and I received the same result. I did not address the issue after the first encounter thinking that maybe some update will fix it.
The second time when it hit me, was after I just started a Dota 2 match to see that my fps was barely reaching 30 (usually it was around 60). Not only that but the audio was all choppy, the same way as the first time. What is even stranger is that if I bring up the menu, which is an overlay so the game still renders all, the fps and the audio get back to normal. (video) I have tested some other games and I figured only some are affected by this problem. For example GTA V gets affected (suffered a drop from 50-60 to 30-35) while Battlefield 4 doesn’t.
What I have tried: removed video drivers with DDU, installed most recent video driver, also tried the drivers that came on CD with the gpu, reinstalled steam, uninstalled audio drivers, messed with the settings in games and also with the Radeon Settings thingy, ran a scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, temps are ok.
Note: the audio in the videos I uploaded sounds less choppy than it actually is.
I don’t know how to investigate this any further so I request your help.
Specs:
Mobo: AsRock 980DE3/U3S3
CPU: AMD FX-6300 @ 3.5 GHz / 4.1GHz turbo
GPU: Sapphire 7770 GHz OC @ 1100 MHz clock / 1250 MHz memory

Thanks in advance!
