Audio popping issue

That should be enough to thoroughly tax any cpu, especially stuffs like folding at home. I only need cpu test though and many many thanks!

What kind of load do you mean? I routinely ran FF with other stuff running in the background. Firefox, Discord, Bannerlord or Rimworld. Usually have no issues with it. Since the sound issues started up, I've more-or-less stopped playing FF except to get in, do a few roulettes on lower jobs, and then log off. Easy, non-story stuff that I can do without sound. Since the sound issues cropped up, it doesn't matter what I'm running - absolutely nothing or my usual batch of whatever. None of it has any effect on the sound problems, positive or negative.

Mostly stuffs with high floating point requirements because I am most curious about something. Discord and standard browser would not be sufficient and am uncertain if Rimworld would stress the cpu much. Perhaps with many colonists. Do not know anything about Bannerlord. Most developers avoid long floats. I am wondering with my request if any highly specific cpu load can cause additional stuttering or induce stuttering on non FX cpus, especially Ryzen.
