sometimes when im listening to music or when im watching a video i hear a brrr sound instead of whatever i was playing. it usually happens for a second then the original audio resumes but can happen repeatedly in a short time.

Are you using built-in speakers or a sound device?

Press Windows key + R and type mmsys.cpl
Double-click on your default device > go to the Enhancements tab > Check "Disable all enhancements."

I also suggest you go to the manufacturer's website, search for your system model, and see if there are any audio driver updates available.

    Also, you can apply these basic checks, that may resolve the issue

    unplug & Plug all the connections, from the speakers to the Power source.

    Swap the USB to another slot. Most of the times is driver malfunction, so here's

    a video that shows how to update audio driver. if it doesn't work, rollback the

    change to its original status. Since the video is Not from MSoft, kindly request

    not to click on Ads - or subscriptions. And hope it help you out,.?

    display thousands of comments. For users who the, fix worked, others report, that failed,,.Etc.
