This is like a ghost in a machine issue of mine now, and it's been for a few months, killing me at this point as I can't figure out what it is... what happens is that while I'm working on the computer, everything is fine. As soon as I step away for a few minutes, and the PC is idle, the audio playing starts getting choppy/cutting off for no reason whatsoever. And it doesn't matter whether I am listening to a live stream or if it's something being played off any of my hard drives (Intel SSD with OS on it, two WD Green hard drives for storage).
And it goes on until I move the mouse and regain the control over the computer.
Rinse and repeat.
As soon as I step away from the computer, sometimes within minutes, this issue kicks in, and it sounds like the Windows is reading a huge file and it's clogging the pipeline of sorts, not letting the audio play smoothly, so it starts chopping it up (like a bad feed off the web without enough bandwidth to support smooth playback)... super weird.
Any ideas what it may be? Where to look? How to even begin diagnosing this thing?
Thanks in advance.
