I have just updated windows 10 and after restarting the computer, an old issue that has mysteriously fixed itself before reappeared.

My mouse/keyboard input is lagging whenever I open or focus on a program window that plays sound (or a video with sound). Even windows notification noises when a USB is inserted cause that lag.

Clarifications :

  • I can play Gifs normally.

  • Muting all sound coming from speakers doesn't help.

  • I have updated all drivers

  • The issue only happens on windows (I USB-booted linux and played music and videos without any problem)

here's a preview, notice how the mouse only lags when I focus on chrome.

    Your hardware would probably help. This problem is too generic without more details. Commented Jul 4, 2020 at 15:20
  • It's obviously a windows/software problem, not a hardware one (it reappeared after update, and everything works on linux). I don't think it's the drivers since both mouse and keyboard are lagging. P.S. what's your Windows version?

I fixed the problem by manually downloading and updating all of my sound drivers (not using the the windows search automatically for driver updates option).
