Hey,

Usually i just play Ark on my computer. but now i was going to watch something on youtube, then i noticed that after a while the sound got out of sync. its the same om twitch, which makes me wonder - WHY.

GTX1080TI
Intel I7 7700K Kabylake.

I am having the exact same issue. At first it seems fine but after 3mins of watching there is already a noticeable difference, and it only gets worse the longer I play the video. Totally ruins the experience for me and I am hoping Microsoft fixes this bug soon. I miss watching video's and streams.
