Okay so first off I've seen many people say their sound freezes with a weird buzzing sound, that isn't my problem.

My problem is from time to time my sound randomly stops working for like 2-8 minutes then comes back on. So If I were to play a youtube video the video will not play until the sound kicks back in again and the video will then play along with the sound. If I wanted to skype call someone I will press call, but it will show it is trying to call, but would not have connected to the person and the skype calling sound wouldn't play. I believe the sound can also freeze in calls to where I hear nothing, but still see the skype call on until the sound kicks back in then revealing the call had dropped. If I go to my audio mixer and press onto changing the volume if I click twice on it, it comes up with "Not responding", but when it finally responds again my sound kicks back in and videos, skype, etc are able to work. Can someone please help me out? Would be very thankful!
