It seems at least a couple threads on this subject were merged into this one.
Anyway, came here to tie in with the discussion, been having the same issue since (based off my search history) the 24th of October.
Fixes I have attempted, are as follows:
- Reinstalling my sound drivers (as the issue was affecting programs outside the game as well for a little while)
- Rolling back windows since there was an update to 10 the day before I started noticing this issue.
- Fresh reinstall of the game
- pulled all my addons
- ran my disk checkers and checked the image health
- swapped between DX12 and DX11
- cleared my temp files
- checked my Ram health.
Ultimately I’m beginning to think it may just be a weird issue involving Wow, M$ and my CPU since it’s a Ryzen 5 1600
Or it could be a bios issue since I have not updated that (power is not really reliable out where I am and I’d rather not brick my motherboard when it takes 2 weeks for amazon to send anything via prime, and new-egg has kinda gone down the drain the last couple years), as it seems in this thread from 2021, that a bio update fixed a similar issue.
