FIFA 17 performance issue with sound

I am having a peculiar issue with FIFA 17. My game used to run on 40-50 fps with 1920x1080 resolution, other settings at Auto and FPS lock at 60fps.

But then it started lagging and sometimes it would just stop rendering completely with only the background stadium noises playing. This stopped when I plugged in my earphones into the audio jack of my laptop

Now is runs fine (at around the same or lower fps with some lags when the focus is near the goalposts) but I can't understand why this is happening?

Does it have anything to do with the audio drivers?

My system config:

Win 10 on Lenovo z51-70
RAM - 8GB
Processor - i7 (5th gen) @ 2.4GHz
Graphic Card - AMD Radeon R9 M375 (4GB)

At first looking at the system requirements that you have posted, I think you should be good and there shouldn't be any problem running the game. But, because you are still getting problems, I suspect there is some issue with your Graphics Card and/or Audio Card. I suggest you to visit this website:
