Just to answer your question from before, no your Windows version won’t affect it. I’m not saying that Windows audio isn’t causing problems, but I’ll address that further down. Below I’m going to list off even more questions just so I can get a better understanding of your situation
When your sound cuts out does your unit’s display blink or flash? As in the display slightly dims it’s brightness then returns back to normal. If the answer is yes, this is an possible indication of 2 things. (1) Windows is adversely effecting your thx system or the streaming service you use is (could be both). (2) Or more than likely the Amplifier isn’t being fed enough power from your outlet, power strip, etc.
Another culprit that could be causing your sound to stop and what has happened to others in the past is something surprising simple, yet annoying. Windows by default will fluctuate the amount of power being fed to your motherboards USB ports. Ultimately, this can make your devices behave and perform “questionably”. And of course everyone loves this feature because of its ability to save you money on your electric bill! Probably around $0.05 cents…per year!! Jokes aside, I’d try and change that and take power savings off. If you need help with that, I can explain how to do it. But answer those questions from above first and then I’ll get back to you.
