How do I stop Netflix from losing sync between audio and video?

Question

When I play Netflix on my Windows 10 computer, the audio gradually becomes desynchronized from the video. This happens on any browser, and on the Netflix Windows Store app.

Solution

I was able to fix this by going to “Control Panel -> Sound” then double-clicking my speakers from the list, then clicking the advanced tab, and unchecking “Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device.”
