Ever since I upgraded my HP pavilion g6 (C0Y74EA#ABH) to windows 8.1 video and audio performances have been off. Whether it's vlc media player with content available on my pc, youtube or a site's build in audio or video player, it freezes. With video it either doesn't start playing and I have to wait 20 to 30 seconds, or it starts playing without audio, then freezes after 10 seconds and resumes playing after 20 to 30 seconds. The weird thing about that is the video stays still and the audio starts playing untill it catches up with where the video froze before continuing together.
Audio doesn't start playing half of the time and again I have to wait 20 to 30 seconds.
I tried updating my video drivers but that didn't make any difference. If anybody has a clue what's the matter here it would be greatly appreciated!
