Needle on the Timeline Keeps Freezing

[hugo_0240]

I recently updated to version 25.1.0 and started experiencing an issue with the timeline needle.
When I press play, the needle freezes repeatedly, making editing extremely difficult.

How can I resolve this issue?

Can you check your audio hardware settings and make sure Default Input is set to "No Input"

Sorry for the frustration.

Hello @jamieclarke 
Many thanks for your support 
My audio setting is already by default "no input"

One potential thing to check is if you have an Nvidia GPU with G-Sync enabled. If so, try changing it in the Nvidia control panel so G-Sync only applies to Full Screen apps only. I had an issue with a laggy playhead and that was the problem for me at least.
