  2. Windows 10 audio stuttering/cracking issues

    I know there are quite a few threads open for this issue but after hours of research and trial and error I haven't found a solution yet. Plus I'm not that much into the internals of Windows and can't really figure out what all those captured data means.

    The issue is simple: I often hear a loud cracking sound when I move over menu entries in game which cause short sound effects like a single "click" sound. This happens more or less frequent and becomes annoying quickly. Moreover I realized that those short sounds often don't play as intended. If you move over quickly you hear a click sound for each menu entry, sometimes you hear nothing at all for 1-2 seconds and then you hear it fade in and work as intended.

    Same goes for VLC player - when I move around the timeline quickly you often hear the cracking when the video starts playing again after "jumping".

    I tested with LatencyMon and got a highest DPC latency of 2557 us with a message that my system couldn't handle realtime audio.

    So things I already tried:

    • Updated BIOS to latest version
    • Tried disabling HPET (though in Windows 10 this seems to be a resolved issue since HPET only runs for specific applications)
    • Updated all drivers
    • Various other things in the BIOS which did not help

    And now for the data. I got the following:


    As far as I understand the most troublesome drivers seem to be the Realtek HD Audio driver and the DirectX Kernel.

    Little side-note: I had a SoundBlaster ZX a time ago which I sent back. The card had - though it should move audio processing to the sound card instead doing it on the CPU - the same issues with cracking sounds.

    Moreover the Windows installation is quite fresh (beginning of June) so there shouldn't be much issues from cluttering.

    EDIT: My PC specs are the following (it should handle that well enough)

    • i5 6600K 4C @ 4.7 Ghz
    • AMD Radeon R9 290
    • 16GB DDR4-3000 RAM
    • System drive SSD 256GB
    • AsRock Z170 Extreme 4+ MoBo

    Realtek Audio Stuttering Issues

    Hello,

    I have a Dell Inspirion Desktop. Occasionally I will get multiple issues with audio stuttering / glitching on things like mp3 files, youtube videos, mp4 videos, etc. anything to do with multimedia.

    The audio stuttering occurs only when connected to RealTek Audio devices (such as headphones / speakers) but when I have my Scarlet 2i2 Focusrite Interface plugged in I have no issues at all.

    I've especially noticed a frequency of stuttering issues after the latest Windows 10 update on Realtek.

    I have tried updating drivers & uninstalling / reinstalling them to no success.

    I also have tried connecting external speakers that only use Realtek Audio and they also stutter and freeze during audio playback.

    At first I thought it was my computer itself but looking at various other problems it looks like the finger has to be pointed at Realtek audio.

    Trouble shooter only fixes the problem temporarily

    I have looked up this problem countless times and haven't found a reasonable solution yet. Everybody just says update drivers but I have already done that over and over again without success.

    If anyone can provide any suggestions it would be much appreciated. Thanks

Will this help with my Wi-Fi Driver?...
