So I recently got a new wireless adapter for my desktop. Ever since then my computer has been lagging. I previously had an ethernet cable plugged in the back. When I play music it will randomly freeze for a second and create this "ERRRH" sound and when I watch videos it does the same thing but freezes the videos for a slight second randomly. It does this even when I listen/watch things that are saved to my hard-drive. I did figure out how to temporarily fix this problem and was hoping one of you more knowledgeable people could assist me in permanently fixing the problem. I found out that if I go into the device manager and scan for hardware changes it fixes the problem and my computer runs smoothly as it did before I had the wifi adapter. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks for reading.
