checked the forums and couldn’t find a topic related to my current problem. Sometimes under heavy sound demand, I.e. playing a game or watching a video my sound has this well, I don’t really know how to describe it but it sounds like a hard lag. But the main sound comes through while the background has this weird echoed,and or lagged um thunder sound, that’s really the best way I can describe. It I always have my headphones in would it be a problem with them or maybe my audio drivers I just have a basic Realtek one built into my mother board.

Thanks for reading again

  • It should show a result after a few seconds. Try waiting for it to complete.

Here's the generic fix for Realtek audio that usually fixes a number of issues. Grab yourself a terminal and enter the following line -

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Add this on a new line at the end of the configuration file - 

options snd-hda-intel model=generic

Save and restart your computer.

If that doesn't work, repeat the same but change model=generic to model=auto
