First of all, I think that it's fixed. It had one entire day without any more stops.
I so hope it'll keep working....
First thing i said was check your event viewer.. there may be a clear answer there for you.
The event viewer had a lot of WHEA logger warnings like this:
A corrected hardware error has occurred.
Component: PCI Express Root Port
Error Source: Advanced Error Reporting (PCI Express)
Bus:Device:Function: 0x0:0x3:0x0
Vendor ID:Device ID: 0x8086:0x340A
Class Code: 0x30400
The details view of this entry contains further information.
just google didn't help this time. Most errors were about WiFi and I don't have WiFi on this.
So it happens in your browser only ? All browsers ?
Chrome. And sometimes foobar2000 player.
And that tweaker won't do anything unless you click on the options.
It has no installer to so there is no way to install or uninstall it.
So i am not sure how you "uninstalled" it.
I am not sure what you are talking about.
LAV codecs sounded like an interesting idea, so I installed them and used the tweaker to make the system use them by default.
My point was that i do things different and not so much that you should.
If you are not an advanced user doing advanced stuff may not be a good idea.
I am medium user. Neither basic, neither too advanced.
The correct hints use to get me on the right direction, usually, without too much explanation. Usually.
If you DO in fact have a Realtek audio chipset (integrated on motherboard)
You might have better luck using the driver from Realtek's web site and not the default Microsoft one
Why that might be helpful is if your audio setup is screwed up the process of changing drivers might help.
It would basically reset how it is.
So it 's not so much a 1 don't work and the other does thing.
It is Realtek. Actually one Realtek on mobo and I think that one more on the old AMD video card, at least that's what I understood. Both are made by Realtek, but needed different drivers.
And I had MS drivers and the main thing I've done was to replace MS drivers with manufacturer drivers, even if some are rather old (2012).
I am curious how many tabs you might have open all with an audio feed on them too.
Most of the time i have Firefox running and i try not to open to many tabs especially at places like Youtube etc.
Anyway it could be lots of things.. check that event viewer and go from there.
Poke around to see if there is any messages related to audio or maybe your browser etc.
That is why the event viewer is there.
This is an interesting hint, I really thought the OS is not stupid and won't screw up if I open more Youtube tabs.
I'll keep an eye on that if the issue occurs again.
To get help you should post more info too.
What soundcard or sound chip do you have ?
What type of audio setup is it ?
Digital / Analog HDMI ?
Realtek High Definition Audio
ATI HDMI Audio (I think that the chipset is actually Realtek in this one too)
Logitech Wireless Headset
I would also be double checking the thermal paste between the CPU and heat sink; if it's an old CPU it's probably worth cleaning off the old thermal paste and reapplying new paste.
Interesting, I will go and ask somebody to check this for me, it's out of my league. Thanks.
Google found for me their Czech site. It did the job.
But.. what VOD said may be a better idea.. never tried that ever though.
Why? You already helped more than they could.
I will shut up now so i don't make this any more confusing

No, you were all right. And Process Explorer is my Taskman replacement for years now (just I have an older version, I see).
The CPU usage was as expected. The 90%+ use happens when I want to and I did that for a test. The normal is under 5%, but the temperature is still high, that's why the thermal paste idea sounded good to me.
I have similar problem on win7. First it starts to happen while I was using Aimp for music and sound in that program stopped (while all other sounds worked just fine), then I have started using Windows player and then sound begin to get pause itself every once in a while... Now I use VLC player and I dont have any issues
When I had Win7 on this same computer, this never happened, so the problem is not the same. Thanks though.
Thank you all for the help. Now it seems to be OK. If the problem reoccurs, I'll ask again.Edit 2017-03-03, for whoever has the same issues:
The problem still occurred after the driver fixes, but much more seldom. I've seen 2 possible problems:
1. The system log still has shown from time to time error like this: Unable to start a DCOM Server: CortanaUI.AppXtpp90jhw9p0njjb85kvhxpppgrqfp117.mca as Unavailable/Unavailable
I've done the steps from here:
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-win_cortana/cortana-error-in-event-viewer/2580f7a5-554c-4e8e-a4e7-77e6ede259232. Somehow it looked like when
Vuze was running this problem started occurring or at least it came more often. I uninstalled it.
Maybe this sounds surprising, for me it was, but after all these steps, including the last two, the sound doesn't stop no matter what I do, no matter the CPU is at 3% or almost 100%.
The problem is solved.Thank you for your help, especially Spoetnik for getting me to the right direction (abandon Microshitty drivers).
