Random freezes for less than 1 second with buzzing sound

Thanks for the suggestions.
I think that audio controller is out of the equation since I had the same issue with the pci-e souncard aswell as with the onboard audio chip. Concerning GPU memory, what tool can I use? Unigine benchmarks?

I would test another GPU if you have one you can lend it would be the easiest way.

Ok, will try to borrow one from someone.

I searched the internet but can't seem to find any understandable statement about this thing. Sorry.

Hey, This post is pretty old, but i'm having the same issue. Did you fix it by any chance?

Hi all,

I am experiencing the same. It happened from one day to another, there was only one windows update (but my laptop switched off due to battery) .
Sound distorts as the laptop freezes for 1/3 of a second. It happens whatever I do: moving the mouse in a circle and you can see a skip, youtube vid, as well as vids on vlc. Just annoying as I have a strong machine (Asus strix II, 2070).
I recently installed intel graphics command centre, as I was not happy with Asus configuration (too bright, whitewashed).
Any idea how to solve it?

Just an idea to throw out there after reading about sound cards being a possible cause, unplug any USB3 devices and use only the USB2 ports and test.

There had been an issue with Win 10 earlier builds of the latest release that causes this exact same freezing issue. I had it until the last update, thought it was device issue, after the update it went away.

Side note, it didn't effect everyone, but there are several posts on the net about it.

Nothing is plugged into usb ports, it does the same with headset and without it.

Thanks, will look out for those posts. I rolled back to an earlier restore point (windows build) but the problem stayed.
I will reset windows and see how it goes.

In the end I did not have to reinstal windows. I went to the update section, there were some updates ready to be installed, then restarted the pc and voila. My laptop was still lagging so I went to task manager, and I found one application that used some cpu, and when I turned it off it immediately sorted the problems out. No lagging, no freezing, no sound issues etc.
As I have an asus laptop, this was : Auto Connect Helper (service from Asus tek) but you might have another app that may interfere with Intel / microsoft programs.
Unfortunately, whenever I power up my laptop, it automatically comes back (it is not amongst the start up program) and I have to manually click on End Task in TM.

hope it will help somebody. cheers

I'm having exactly the same issues. No idea how it started, but it is always present when watching youtube videos. Did not see it in any games or applications. Gpu is out of the question, reinstalled w11 after w10 and now the buzz is a bit more annoying but still the same duration. Updated the bios, different drivers etc. Different boot drive, but did not change my secondairy ssd (crucial p1). I suspect the ssd as I read stories of bad hdd's causing these problems. I can change the ram for some time and lower the cpu frequency quite a bit for testing, but I don't know if it will fix something.
Things that could be giving errors: ssd (P1), ram(mixed, but tested), cpu(r3600), mobo(asrockb450 pro4), usb devices(usb switch for mouse and keyboard), 2.5g pcie network cart (using the 1G internal one so dont know why its still there)
Its not affecting anything then just annoying me.

Maybe only affecting ryzen systems?

Do you happen to have StoreMI installed? I had this same problem a little over a year ago with a new Ryzen build. I was having buzzing problems with YouTube, and weird slowdowns along with the buzzing. It turns out StoreMI was the culprit for me. Once I removed it. My problems went away.

Unfortunately I don't have it on my system and it seems not to be software related as I did a fresh reinstall and I kept away a lot of applications in the first place.
With chrome open and windows mediaplayer playing music I don't have any problems.

I'll have a look at my bios for any storage related things, as I remember I read something about storemi in the bios.

It's a really weird bug to be honest.
