Windows 10: Audio performance in real time, latency, glitches and dropouts with Win 10...

I have updated my ram to 16 gb on my new dell inspiron 5570, despite this and after following indications from Native Instruments for its own soundcard, and from win 10 users with same problem as I mine. I still can't find a a proper and definitive solution to my latency problems.


Any more reliable wisdom out there, that can help please?

High DPC Latency with System Audio Through Audio Interface.

Hi,

The concern you have encountered may be due to a corrupted file or a misconfigured setting.

Many audio problems on a computer can be caused by DPC latency. DPC stands for Deferred Procedure Call. In its simplest form, it is the part of your Windows system that handles driver efficiency. If there is a driver that is taking longer than normal to
process, it may prevent other drivers from being processed in time. The worst case is that it can cause your audio interface driver from responding in time and can cause clicks, pops, distortion and dropouts.

We suggest to update the driver of your audio card. Generally speaking, updated drivers deliver better functionality and improved performance. For the most part, you certainly want to upgrade your drivers unless you have a very specific reason for not wanting
to do so. To perform the task, simply follow the steps provided by Andre Da Costa on this
link.

Should you need further assistance, feel free to get back to us.

Regards.

 

High latency and stuttering/crackling/glitching audio with wireless traffic on Dell Inspiron N5110

Whenever I try to watch a movie (especially from a network share, but also on Netflix or other streaming websites) I will get random glitches/buzzes/crackles. They are related to latency, NOT audio hardware. The only solution is to use "high performance"
power plan which seems to eliminate the crackles and reduce the ndis.sys latency from 30ms to 5-10ms, but I'm not a fan of this solution because it increases heat and power consumption. There has to be a better way, or at least I would like to find out why
this is happening. This was never a problem on Win7 as far as I remember.

The main suspect is my wireless card Intel Centrino N 1030. If I connect ethernet cable, the whole crackling problem seems to be completely gone, no matter what power plan I use, balanced or high performance. But when using wireless audio glitches come back
and, it shows up to 30ms DPC latency on LatencyMon, which is very high. I have the newest driver from Intel. That being said, I still think it may be something else and wireless may just be the straw that broke the camel's back especially because I can't really
find any reports on the internet regarding N 1030 latency issues.

Before you ask, I have updated all the other drivers to the newest available and that didn't help. I've tried various fixes suggested by others, like reinstalling windows, and so on, but nothing helps. Previously, I had Win10, but the problem with audio
and stuttering was so bad that I had to downgrade to Win8.1, which is A LOT better.

I've even tried bdcedit disabledynamictick, but that didn't help either.

LatencyMon reports high interrupt to process latency, so as far as I understand it, the ndis.sys (wireless) DPC count may be simply reflecting the fact that the CPU is not responding on time or is busy with something else for some reason. Can someone help
me figure out what's going on?

 

Audio stuttering/buzzing and storport.sys high dpc latency

I've only had this audio issue for a few weeks already after I did a custom windows 10 install bc of a previous problem. I've also posted twice about this but no one has helped me yet. I'll post the following possible solutions and suggestions that
I've already done to avoid repeated answers

I did: audio troubleshooter, uninstalled then reinstalled audio drivers, disabled audio enhancements and tried different audio quality under the advanced tab.


After more searching online I tried using DPC Latency Checker (and then LatencyMon to be more detailed) since I read that having high dpc latency can cause problems with real time audio among other things. Apparently
storport.sys is the problem? I literally just have basic knowledge about anything regarding this kind of stuff and I don't have any clue on how to fix this so I just hope someone can help me and give me steps by steps suggestions on how I can solve this. my
audio has just been driving me crazy with those stuttering sounds and I don't want it to worsen.

I would also like to know if having
Ricoh SD/MMC Host Controller and nothing else aside from that, under
IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers, is okay and won't cause problems?

please, I hope someone can help and answer this time around!
