I've been experiencing some sort of issue regarding my audio. I own a Z97-E motherboard and whenever I'm watching a video, video chatting, or playing games, my audio will cut out and the only way I could fix it is by disconnecting and reconnecting the headphones. I checked to see if the headphones were the problem so I tried with another pair (Also connected to the front panel jack), and the problem still occurred. I know for a fact that it is not a driver problem, because I've had RealTek's Audio Driver updated and the problem still occurred (Same thing with Window's HD Audio). The only way I could fix this problem would be closing the application and opening it back again. This issue has been bothering me for a long time and I would really appreciate if anyone could please help me with this.
