Audio stuttering - no idea, how to solve this isssue

D

DanielMicAcc

Hey guys,

i got a "serious" problem.

First of all, the specs of my pc:
Intel Core i7 8700K

Gigabyte Z370 HD3

16 GB DDR4 Ram

Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti

500 Gb SSD Harddrive
Steinberg UR242 (Soundcard)

When I'm playing games and sometimes out of nothing my audio is stuttering. That means, that the audio is silent for about 1/2 - 1 second. The game works fine, but the audio doesnt work in that moment. Audio means -> Audio of game, of my music, of everything I can hear.

The problem occured, since I upgraded to the RTX 2080. (Used a 1080 before) But the card works fine, no problems at all with graphics or frame drops.

I used LatencyMon to get some information about the audio issue. Here is the result:

CONCLUSION

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Your system appears to be having trouble handling real-time audio and other tasks. You are likely to experience buffer underruns appearing as drop outs, clicks or pops. One or more DPC routines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing for too long. Also one or more ISR routines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing for too long. One problem may be related to power management, disable CPU throttling settings in Control Panel and BIOS setup. Check for BIOS updates.

LatencyMon has been analyzing your system for 0:12:02 (h:mm:ss) on all processors.

Computer name: DESKTOP-R87R0TF

OS version: Windows 10 , 10.0, version 1809, build: 17763 (x64)

Hardware: Z370 HD3, Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd., Z370 HD3-CF

CPU: GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz

Logical processors: 12

Processor groups: 1

RAM: 16330 MB total

CPU SPEED

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Reported CPU speed: 3696 MHz



Note: reported execution times may be calculated based on a fixed reported CPU speed. Disable variable speed settings like Intel Speed Step and AMD Cool N Quiet in the BIOS setup for more accurate results.



WARNING: the CPU speed that was measured is only a fraction of the CPU speed reported. Your CPUs may be throttled back due to variable speed settings and thermal issues. It is suggested that you run a utility which reports your actual CPU frequency and temperature.

MEASURED INTERRUPT TO USER PROCESS LATENCIES

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The interrupt to process latency reflects the measured interval that a usermode process needed to respond to a hardware request from the moment the interrupt service routine started execution. This includes the scheduling and execution of a DPC routine, the signaling of an event and the waking up of a usermode thread from an idle wait state in response to that event.



Highest measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 2004,50

Average measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 3,714060



Highest measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 1956,70

Average measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 1,55190





_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

REPORTED ISRs

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Interrupt service routines are routines installed by the OS and device drivers that execute in response to a hardware interrupt signal.



Highest ISR routine execution time (µs): 2282,988636

Driver with highest ISR routine execution time: dxgkrnl.sys - DirectX Graphics Kernel, Microsoft Corporation



Highest reported total ISR routine time (%): 0,166958

Driver with highest ISR total time: dxgkrnl.sys - DirectX Graphics Kernel, Microsoft Corporation



Total time spent in ISRs (%) 0,184708



ISR count (execution time <250 µs): 1060279

ISR count (execution time 250-500 µs): 0

ISR count (execution time 500-999 µs): 186

ISR count (execution time 1000-1999 µs): 1

ISR count (execution time 2000-3999 µs): 1

ISR count (execution time >=4000 µs): 0





_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

REPORTED DPCs

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

DPC routines are part of the interrupt servicing dispatch mechanism and disable the possibility for a process to utilize the CPU while it is interrupted until the DPC has finished execution.



Highest DPC routine execution time (µs): 2259,369048

Driver with highest DPC routine execution time: nvlddmkm.sys - NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 441.87 , NVIDIA Corporation



Highest reported total DPC routine time (%): 0,057774

Driver with highest DPC total execution time: Wdf01000.sys - Kernelmodustreiber-Frameworklaufzeit, Microsoft Corporation



Total time spent in DPCs (%) 0,186268



DPC count (execution time <250 µs): 3778548

DPC count (execution time 250-500 µs): 0

DPC count (execution time 500-999 µs): 148

DPC count (execution time 1000-1999 µs): 7

DPC count (execution time 2000-3999 µs): 13

DPC count (execution time >=4000 µs): 0

REPORTED HARD PAGEFAULTS

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Hard pagefaults are events that get triggered by making use of virtual memory that is not resident in RAM but backed by a memory mapped file on disk. The process of resolving the hard pagefault requires reading in the memory from disk while the process is interrupted and blocked from execution.



NOTE: some processes were hit by hard pagefaults. If these were programs producing audio, they are likely to interrupt the audio stream resulting in dropouts, clicks and pops. Check the Processes tab to see which programs were hit.



Process with highest pagefault count: msmpeng.exe



Total number of hard pagefaults 41613

Hard pagefault count of hardest hit process: 13379

Number of processes hit: 68

I made a BIOS Update but the problem is still there.

I hope somebody can help me here.

Thank you!
