Audio troubleshooting: hardware or OS issues?

I’m developing an application in JavaScript using the “tone.js” library. I’m having lots of issues trying to make it sound properly on my machine.

Problems are on my machine since i tried it on different machines and everything works properly. I’m using a DELL Inspiron 7577 with an Intel i7 7th generation processor and with 16GB RAM. When i load the application i get from 40 to 50% of CPU and GPU usage, and about 30% of RAM usage and the cooling system starts working hard. When the application is not loaded i get around 15% of RAM usage and around 0% for the other things.

I recently uploaded my OS and all the possible drivers so that shouldn’t be an issue. I disabled all the auto-start background processes from the task manager and with all those disabled i get 15% RAM when doing nothing.

My problem is that, when i load and run the application in a browser, everything is slowed down (audio and video) and results in a very unpleasant audio.

Having excluded application’s problems, how can I make some more troubleshooting in order to understand if this is an OS or hardware problem? How to understand what the specific problem is?
