Sound glitch/freezes

[Steelfury]

Today I played two games of naval action, in both of which the sound has started glitching (essentially the sound 'stutters' and keeps playing the same 'note' on high speed repeat - I'm not quite sure how to describe this), accompanied by the game freezing, initially it happens for very short periods, before going back to normal, but eventually it freezes up for seconds at a time, unfreezes shortly, then repeats, and the only option is to use task manager to shut the game and restart the computer, after which the problem appears to be gone after I reload into the game. I did manage to send one report during this (although the description was pretty mangled as the computer doesn't seem to be recognizing input while the freezes are happening), on the second game the problem was so severe that I simply restarted the pc with the power button.

I've found the cause of it and that's shadowplay (at least since I turned it off the game seems to be working fine)
