Hey guys! My laptop (Asus) has been recently doing this thing where it lags and glitches from startup. I will do the best to explain what that means:

Even from the start of windows, it changes the four-tonal opening of DoDo-DoDo to Do..Do......Do..Do. Not only is it slower but it also has this almost static-y feel to the sound.

Then, when i test it with music and youtube videos, it sounds like a transformer is trying to call out to me from their home planet while also playing the video at 1/20th of the speed it should be playing (without me altering video speed obviously).

My Asus is about 2 years old, i7 core, windows 7 os, i can go into more detail if needed. Thanks in advance.

P.s. Also it can be worth noting that this is sometimes fixed when i simply restart, but it comes back eventually.

I would go to asus website, look up drivers for your specific laptop model/type and download the audio driver. Then go into control panel, device manager, sound devices, right click on your device and click uninstall. Restart the laptop and install the driver you have just downloaded. If that doesn't change anything it might be hardware related
