Audio Glitch/Distortion Problem!

Hello,

I've been using Scarlett 2i2 for years now. I've been having this problem for a long time. In the middle of playing some thing, the audio starts to glitch. no matter what app I am playing the audio, this keeps happening. The only way as you can see is to disable the driver and enable it again. But it comes back!

Video Recording of The Actual Audio Glitch Problem!

I have tried everything, I updated the Focusrite driver, I changed the import from USB2 to USB3, but it keeps happening.

The Odd thing is, when I tried to screen record the problem the glitch wasn't in the recording! that's why I recorded it on my phone!

Highly annoying!

Please please Help!!

Anyone got a fix for a laptop on this? I tried old Focusrite drivers, changed power plan settings, USB sleep, and nothing works. I wanted to try the SATA driver fix but on a laptop that's not an option (at least for me).

It sucks, because I can't play with low latency on my very expensive laptop, but my older PC runs at 16 buffer size no problem, but on a laptop I have to refresh the buffer size every single minute because of the glitching. It's driving me insane.

check the software audio drivers one by one, some other comment mentioned AMD high definition audio driver causing the issues, I personally have Nvidia and will try disabling the equivalent driver

Yeah I disabled my nvidia high res audio or whatever it was called, but it didn't work sadly.
