Security audit failure 5061 in windows 10

For the past week or so I've been noticing my computer oddly stuttering under specifically discord and online gaming in general. More offline games don't seem to be an issue, and even normal web browsing seems fine oddly enough. At first I thought it might have been a graphics driver issue or the internet, but after rolling back the graphics drivers, trying the latest drivers, updating windows, and checking the internet through another pc in the home I determined it must have been something else.
After much deliberation, I turned to the event viewer and noticed that every time there was a hiccup in a discord stream, there would be 2 audit failures with the event id of 5061 in rapid fire, sometimes repeating in an alternating pattern twice in a row. Again, this mainly happens whenever I'm in a discord stream or playing online games, freezing pc and audio in that application for a few seconds at a time. I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling, clearing cache of these applications, and I'm starting to run out of ieas. Below I'll add the xml view of the failures. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey! I've been having the exact same problem, persistently, (down to the double 5061 error) for the past couple of weeks. Mostly while playing FFXIV and chatting with friends over discord too.

    Turns out it was my NVIDIA card software causing the issue, I managed to find a fix posted on reddit! Here's what worked for me:
    -Go to Apps and Features

    -Search for NVIDIA

    -Delete/uninstall anything that wasn't "NVIDIA Graphics Driver" or "NVIDIA Audio Driver"

    I had the NVIDIA control panel and GeForce experience installed, along with one other extra thing i can't remember. After removing those three, I played for several hours with absolutely no stutters whatsoever. I'm probably going to reinstall the control panel and GeForce app one at a time and see if either of those two was the issue causing it.
