Audio Video Stuttering At First

[viscid plover]

Hi, I have issues regarding to audio and video playback stuttering when I first turn windows 11 on, it'll be fixed when I switch to another audio output and reselect the default one and open the app that has video and audio output (example Chrome).

I'm running on:

Device name MSI Claw 8
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 258V 2.20 GHz
Installed RAM 32.0 GB (31.5 GB usable)
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Edition Windows 11 Home
Version 24H2
Installed on ‎22/‎02/‎2025
OS build 26100.4202

Anyone has solution?

Seems like I found the issue with LatencyMon software. I'm slightly amused what began as a small annoying audio popping issue caused by ACPI.sys has blown up into a larger unplayable audio issue caused by Intel drivers. I really hope they get this sorted out.

I think this is a known issue and Intel is already working on a fix. Refer to this article: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000101389/graphics.html

This is temporary fix, yes. I'll rather wait until the further complete patch update version from Intel.

@pliant sageOh you're the one who posted in this website: https://community.intel.com/t5/Gaming-on-Intel-Processors-with/Audio-glitches-and-lower-performance-while-audio-is-playing-on/td-p/1694605

You said that: "Intel is working on releasing a fix for this soon. In the meantime, please use the following steps as a temporary work-around"

So it's still temporary work-around until the complete fix. But anyway, thank you for the tips for the temporary fix!

This is fixed now with driver 32.0.101.6877 https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/785597/intel-arc-iris-xe-graphics-windows.html please check it out

@pliant sage I have a question, regarding to installation of newer graphics driver. Should I do clean installation or not after the previous bugs driver?

[pliant sage]

you should be ok with a normal installation for this one... personally I do prefer a clean installation with DDU every now and then if any issue shows up after the installation

[viscid plover]

Alright, thank you. I did normal installation and so far it seems to be okay!
