    Bad audio, high DPC latency from dxgkrnl.sys


    I recently build a new PC, everything is working fine except the audio. It works fine for video, streaming and music, but during certain games the audio will go bad very fast, mostly when a lot of different sounds or continues sound is being played. Stuttering, clicks, popping, tearing and delays. The game it is most notable in is Arma 3 and for some reason it gets worse when opening the map in this game.After running LatencyMon, I found very high ISR and DPC execution times, with Wdf01000.sys being the highest for ISR and dxgkrnl.sys for DPC.I've tried all the solutions I could find with goog

    So I bought a new computer.
    And the problem of crackling and bouncing back.
    It is important to note that my previous computer also had the same 3080 video card.
    Beyond that all the hardware is new.
    I need help attaching information about the problem I have I would love help from anyone who understands.

    Bad audio, high DPC latency from dxgkrnl.sys

    High DPC Latency caused by wdf01000.sys

    Hello,

    I am posting this regarding a problem that I ran across in my laptop at the beginning of august 2019, the problem is that I am getting high DPC Latency levels that are apparently caused by wdf01000.sys according to the latency checking
    program, latencymon.

    I really want to know if there is a fix since I have browsed a wide range of sites trying to find a fix, I could not find any. And also my keyboard stopped working for some reason, if its ok I would like to find a fix for that, but
    I prioritize fixing the high latency over the keyboard.

    Thank you for taking your time to read this.
