hi. yesterday all of a sudden i get horrible stuttering (video frames skipping back and forth) when watching youtube videos, with the audio also getting clipped very badly. the same happens when i watch movies on VLC, or play a resource intensive game like tf2. knowing that audio clipping can arise from the powersupply delivered to my headphones, i tried with a more lightweight pair of earbuds and the same clipping happened. i tried with the headphones, but unplugging the power adapter (leaving the computer to run on its battery) and lo and behold, the problems disappeared. what are my options for this? is it as simple as getting a new power adapter?
