Issues with sound in games, sounds like it's on the radio
For some reason some games I play will start screwing up.
Recently I played Stellaris and the sound would just fade and rise in volume. Sometimes audio might dip by 90% of decibels and then other times it sounds like I'm listening to the radio inside a tunnel.
Youtube is fine, and mp3 files are fine, but a number of intensive games are not.
Oddly enough Battlefront 2 is fine, but (I think?) CIV 5 is not.
This varies from game to game but it's horrendously strange.
Perhaps this is also related to battery issues; on battery, my computer struggles to keep up consistent performance.
Playing games like DOTA or League of Legends on battery should be no problem for me, but the fact that I'm on battery power introduces very small stutters. My FPS is high, however the game is in no way smooth. It feels in some way that my computer is itself adding maybe 120ms ping onto the game in some strange kind of stuttering I can't really describe. The game is in no way unplayable, but to me feels very irregular.
The reason this is strange is that I once used an earlier model of my current laptop, I think an Asus K501L and these problems didn't exist at all. And that just because I'm on battery shouldn't mean that my game starts having micro-micro stutters.
I have a NVIDIA 950m
I have a few audio-related programs which are installed. I have tried killing them with task manager, wondering if they would do anything, but I don't believe that they do much.
Conexant HD audio
ICEpower audio wizard
And I also have EarTrumpet.
Your request appears to be from an automated process
Device manager...
Would very much appreciate solutions to either of the problems mentioned
