Installing this again did help in my case, but of course, the audio still becomes broken for (insert the hundreds of causes) after a while.

The only system adjustment that made a difference (I tried pretty much all of them listed in various places in this thread) was adjusting power settings. I never realized I was in 'balanced' mode, likely because it's never been an issue until now. So to anyone else that may have a similar setup to mine, enabling the spatial audio and creating a new power profile setting helps with the stuttering not occurring as frequently.
Hey there, I've got the same setup, and exactly same issue occurrence. Only thing that did completely annihilate the stutter for me was playing or rather is playing in DX9. Graphics are underwhelming but you might wana give it a shot!

Also to add additional things I've tried : In the end I opted for a complete OS reboot, factory settings, I've completely reinstalled windows, the drivers, etc. Did not help at all, just in case somebody wants to try that, so you know that most likely it will not work.
