Ugh, Windows 10 audio stuttering... From a Bluray drive?

[Willsonman]

Ok, so I had an old Bluray drive that I wanted to put in our bedroom PC to watch movies and such. i3 system with GTX950. Worked fine. Swap out the DVD drive for the Pioneer BDC202 Bluray drive and I get the dreaded audio stutter. Used the recommended gigabyte Realtek driver, driver from Realtek, as well as the default windows audio drivers and no love. I disabled my other audio sources as well as played with the bitrate for audio playback. All the searches indicate these are the typical fixes but I still have the audio stutter. I'm at my wits end here. I even get the stutter on the sound when first logging into windows. I unplugged the Bluray drive and rebooted and zero issues. NONE. Really not sure WTH is going on here.

Updated BIOS and Ethernet adaptor. Still no luck.

Have you tried the drive in different SATA ports? (maybe one on the chipset vice an onboard add-on controller or vice versa). Sounds like an old-school port conflict.

Had not thought of that... I'll give it a try

HDCP is a bitch.

Nope. Not that.
