Hi everybody!

Recently the sound has started 'skipping' or distorting and the whole system skips/lags along with it. It occurs when anything happens: playing games, listening to iTunes music, watching YouTube videos or a live online TV programs. It is really bothering me and it's annoying when I am trying to watch the video or TV or listen to music and it freezes for about half a second and then it reoccurs in about 20 seconds or a minute or later while using 2 monitors at the same time.

Does anyone have any advice or solutions for this, please?

Thank you very much in advance!

Hi ezkool,

What power supply do you have in this system?

Also are you outputting your sound to HDMI or Analog?

Hi Spriggan43,

Thak you for your care.

Power supply:

INPUT 220V, OUTPUT 18.5V

Sound output: Analog ( Not sure if understand the question well.. Is it the way I listen to the notebook sound?)

Best regards

Back to a reality. It does it again, though it doesn't do that so frequently as before.... that's frustrating.
