Problem: your audio is skipping or buffering on Windows 10 or 11.

These symptoms can be very annoying. There is a simple solution, though:

• You’re using Windows 10
• You’re using Windows 11

Windows 11

• Press the Windows key (at the bottom left of your keyboard) + i to open the Windows settings.
• Click the “burger” menu (☰) at top left, select System > Sound > More Sound Settings.
• Right-click your default playback device and click Properties.
• Click Enhancement, and check the Disable all enhancements option.
• Click Apply and OK to save the operations.

If the issue persists, try to change the audio format:

• Press Windows + i to open the Windows setting.
• Go to System > Sound > More Sound Settings.
• Right-click your default playback device and click Properties.
• Click the Advanced > Select 16-bit, 44100 Hz (CD Quality).
