Party Vibe

Very strange, does the sound still work offline on media players, does it still work on other websites ?

Open your task manager and look at the cpu % when you are watching a video if it is hitting 90-100% that could cause clipping laggyness, it could well be the same issue I have from time to time when I put the old girl though too much . Try lowering the quality of the video stream on the youtube window.

I would try the speakers on a different sound source like an MP3 player or radio or similar that takes headphones (speakers nearly always connect with a little 3.5 millimeter head phone connector).

They are probably fine and the problem is with the PC, but it’s nice to be sure that is where the problem really is.

Yeah, could be malware slowing down the CPU speed or internet connection (or both) by stealing your machine and doing it’s own thing.

Worthwhile checking out whether the speakers are working OK though.

Also worth uninstalling the audio device from Device Manager (Right Click My Computer, Left click Properties, left click Device Mananger, Right Click Audio Devices, Uninstall, then shut down the machine and start it up again). As the machine starts up again it will go “Aha! I have sound hardware” and reload the driver for it… which may be corrupted, causing the problem of stuttery sound. Unlikely but worth trying for when things stop working properly.
