Hi, I experience a sound glitch every 1 to 5 minutes when I have sound on. I can hear it from the on board speakers, or from headphones or from my audio interface. Generally, from any sound device I am using. I was not sure if this problem was existing at first. But for the last 7 months, I can hear it every day. I reset Windows 11 to factory settings but nothing happened. I reset again Windows with cloud download and nothing happened...I tried changing drivers, power options and nothing happened. Then, I was afraid of a hardware problem so I booted Linux and as a surprise to me everything was working like a charm and still works! But I need Windows for some applications. I noticed that I could recreate the glitch when I was opening a "heavy" program on Windows. And I noticed that this noise is the same noise when the laptop is running out of battery and causes many glitches to music playback.
