I have experienced this previously when using an internal sound card, assumed it had to do with buffers.
That doesn't mean that is your solution/cause, just something to think about.
You may have better results with a dedicated interface; they can be pretty inexpensive for a basic one with decent drivers.
I doubt being a gaming laptop has anything negative to do with it FWIW.
