Audio cutting off randomly in games

[ThePurpleGuest]

For the past few days, my audio has been randomly cutting off in games. It only happens with games (I can still hear my friend in discord while the sound cuts off). I have updated windows, updated my realtek audio drivers to the latest version, tried with different headphones, but the audio bug is still there. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? The 2 games that I had problems (that I played since I’ve had this bug) are Cyberpunk 2077 and Sea Of Thieves.

Here are my pc specs:

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
GPU: EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra
MB: Aorus B450 Pro WiFi
PSU: Corsair RM850 Gold
RAM: HyperX Fury 32GB (2x16) 3200mhz
SSD: XPG Gammit Pro 1TB NVME SSD
OS: Windows 10 Pro

Hello

Have you checked the temps when this happens?

Ok yeah, for some reason it had been doing this since I changed the thermal paste on my cpu. I bought a Corsair h115 elite capellix yesterday and it seems to have fixed the problem.

Thanks.
