Update: crashing audio but only when displays connected via gpu.
FIXED: it was windows 11. Did a fresh install of windows 10 pro and the issue went.
My audio as well as my screens freeze for around half a second everytime i open a program, wake my pc up or my monitors go into sleep mode. Ive just discovered that this only happens when there's a display connected to gpu.. The audio still plays fine through my headset without them. And there doesnt seem to be an issue with hdmi plugged into motherboard. It has only been happening the past week or so.
To clarify, i listen to audio through a headset which is connected via a GOxLR. i have fully removed the goxlr from the setup and still have this issue. I dont use my gpu or hdmi for audio at all.
