Description of Original Problem: All video games are sputtering and lagging, popping audio happens. This happens both across desktop games (Helldivers 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Party Animals, and Portal 2 were all the ones I tested) and VR Games. (VRChat, Phasmophobia)

Troubleshooting: I've tried updating drivers, running system diagnostics to find errors, updating and restarting multiple times, as well as checking each game for invalidated files. I will also note here Helldivers has a chronic issue with 2 files being unable to validate, no matter how many times I run the scan to make it be fixed. All other games have validated files.
