    latency issues, random stutter + audio stutter


    hey, im having dificultys with my pc. im having problem with every task im doing, even playing a yt video. so the problem is im having random freezes and audio freezes/lags every 10-40 mins. i dont exactly know whats causing it but im pretty sure its not the disks/ram. ive ran a test on a program called latencymon and thats all ive got. let me know what tests i should do to help give more information about the problem and i will. ive been having the problem for like half a year now and its pissing me off. heres a picture that might help : (bios is last version btw). also ive gotten a lag that made the pc black screen and audio loop and i had to force restart!
    PARTS:
    amd ryzen 7 3700x
    rx 5700xt nitro +
    2x 1tb samsung qvo
    asus prime pro x470 motherboard
    2x8 3600mhz gskill ram

    Random Stuttering / DPC Latency Nightmare


    Having the exact same problem. Realtek have release a new driver yesterday which i hope will help solve this super annoying issue.
    But that does not appear to be the case.
    Mine is atm looking like this.

    Random Stuttering / DPC Latency Nightmare


    EDIT: Since a lot of people seem to be reading this (probably from google with the same problem), here's the tl;dr:
    >So far, no concrete fix.
    >Definitely a problem with the LAN card.
    >If you have a Realtek card, downgrading to Win7 drivers seem to lessen the amount of stutters.
    >Disabling all kinds of CPU throttling will make them less severe when they happen (But it will eat more power running at 100% all the time)


    (Forgive me if this is the incorrect form, since DPC latency issues are related to drivers I figure this is the best place)

    I've been having issues with random audio + video stuttering since I upgraded to Windows 10 Educational (x64) about 2 months ago now. Previously, I ran Windows 7 (x64) on nearly identical hardware without issue. The only new piece of hardware is a Samsung SSD, but due to the specific drivers causing latency, I'd find it exceptionally hard to believe that these stutters stem from a faulty drive.

    Fortunately, I've managed to narrow the problem down, but I'm pretty much stumped at this point since nothing I do can actually fix it.

    Here's all the relevant information:

    >Stutters last anywhere from about 100ms to 500ms.

    >I have used LatencyMon to narrow down some of the offending drivers: ndis.sys and tcpip.sys.
    ndis spike:

    tcpip spike:

    >This probably means it's something network related, so:
    -I have updated to the latest Windows 10 compatible network drivers for my on-board Realtek network adapter.
    -I have disabled all power-saving / idle shutdown settings for the network adapter in device manager.
    -I can't be 100% certain, but doing these two things seem to have slowed the rate at which the stuttering occurs. Instead of the usual 5-10 times per day, it's now down to around 3 times per day. (observed over the past week or so)

    >Activating Windows 10's BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service) seems to have a high likelihood of triggering a stutter.

    -Probably 2/5 times there is a stutter, the event viewer will show the above event at the exact time the stutter occurred. Event 7040, settings BITS from demand start to auto start. This is the only event I have been able to directly correlate with the stutter. May be helpful, may not be.

    >Unfortunately, there's more: sometimes, when a stutter occurs, LatencyMon will not pick it up. I'm not sure what this means. Perhaps there's some other process LatencyMon doesn't monitor that is causing these stutters? Or perhaps LatencyMon just crapped out for a second and didn't notice it?
    -This somewhat worries me that this might be the effect of more than one latency-related problem, but I can't know that for sure, so I'll keep assuming it's stemming from a single cause until there's direct evidence otherwise.

    Any insight would be vastly appreciated. This has been driving me up the wall more and more each time it happens. It's gotten me killed more than once in games, and it also makes me freak out when composing music, thinking there are nasty buffer underruns going on. That, and it's just a general annoyance that I'd really love to see gone.


    Relevant Hardware:
    >AMD FX 8350
    >Asrock 970 Extreme4
    >Samsung 850 EVO SSD
    >Asus Xonar DG Sound Card
    >GTX 770

    Thanks a ton in advance.

    High DPC latency causing audio stutters

    Windows 10 audio clicks,pops,stutters. storport latency issues? HELP? - Windows 10 Forums

    - which I posted above- 2 fixes, I think, related to storport.sys

    Latency problems after upgrade to version 1803 Solved - Windows 10 Forums
    Fix at #4

    - which I also posted previously.

    These may or may not be relevant in your case of course.

    (I searched the forum for
    storport.sys latency
    storport.sys stutter

    - you may find more)

    Please advise if these help at all.

    You could pm zinou to ask for help looking at your trace.
