On my Grandad's computer, the sound keeps cutting out for around 2-5 seconds. It also pops up with Realtek audio message on the bottom right of the screen saying the audio device was unplugged. It is the same when plugging the speakers or headphones into the front or back of the computer. I have tried reinstalling the chip set and audio drivers but it still occurs. I'm not really sure what to do. Any help is appreciated. The motherboard is from Gigabyte. If you need specific details on the computer, I can get them later.

Also I would like to say that I'm not sure this is the motherboard, but it's my best guess.
 
Solution
Through the Device Manager, uninstall and then reinstall the device using the appropriate driver for his OS.
If that doesn't work, I would suggested getting a PCI soundcard that is compatible with his OS

Alright, I've already tried reinstalling so I will just get a soundcard then. Thanks, will post whether it works or not in a couple of days.
