Latency issues, please help!

Hello, Over the past summer, I built my own PC from scratch as well, and I used a similar motherboard. I put the Asus Z170-A in my computer. From day one, I had audio problems. High latency, high pagefaults, crackling, etc. I tried everything to try to correct it. I updated all drivers, used...

Audio stuttering, "popping" and high latency on a brand new build!

Just thought I should give an update just in case anyone has similar issues with a similar build. The problem in my system was the ASUS z170-a motherboard. I was recently having major usb problems with it as well, and decided to replace the board with an ASUS Maximus VIII Hero. Latency and hard...

Audio stuttering, "popping" and high latency on a brand new build!

Yes, I thought that was interesting when looking at the charts as well. In the beginning, I did try disabling the on board sound and using a sound card instead. Weird enough, it was worse when I did that. Maybe it was the sound card I tried to use? I returned the card shortly after that. I...

Audio stuttering, "popping" and high latency on a brand new build!

I uninstalled chrome and have, instead, started to use firefox. I ran two tests: The first is taken while having one tab open in firefox to watch a video. The second is while playing a game with no browser running in the background.

I'll try testing with chrome uninstalled. I'm still having this problem when running Windows 7. I'll update ASAP. Thanks.

Okay, so after installing updates and updating drivers, the audio problems still exist on Windows 7. This test was done while just watching a YouTube video. I didn't hear any or the audio problems during this test, but they definitely exist when I'm playing a game.

Audio stuttering, "popping" and high latency on a brand new build!

OldGrayGary, I know it's been a while since I have replied to this thread, but I was finally able to downgrade to Windows 7 (I had problems using a bootable USB and I didn't have an optical drive). I'm currently installing all drivers and updating everything I can. I will run more tests when it...

Audio stuttering, "popping" and high latency on a brand new build!

Okay, it's been a bust weekend, so I'll try different drivers and rolling back to Windows 7 (if I can, if not I'll probably try linux mint) on Monday. If I roll back to Windows 7 and it doesn't fix the audio problems, would I be able to re-upgrade to Windows 10? Yeah, this definitely needs some...

Audio stuttering, "popping" and high latency on a brand new build!

Unfortunately, after trying all the things you suggested, the problems still persist. I have not seen my memory usage even get to 80%, so I don't think I need any more right now. Like I said, the problem only occurs when I use either one of my headsets or the external speaker system. When I use...

Audio stuttering, "popping" and high latency on a brand new build!

Right, so after changing the virtual memory to the range you listed, I tested with LatencyMon while listening to a song on iTunes and checking my email. The hard page faults is higher now, but it was actually slightly below 6000 for most of the test. It only jumped that high once I tried to...

These are the results after going through all the things you suggested. This is while playing a YouTube video while running Total War: Warhammer (which is installed on my SSD).

Audio stuttering, "popping" and high latency on a brand new build!

Hi OldGrayGary! Thank you for your response! I've installed the newer version of LatencyMon, and these are the results from another run with it: This is a test while under a load. All I did was open up a gaming application (Heroes of the Storm in this case). I install most non-gaming...

Audio stuttering, "popping" and high latency on a brand new build!

I forgot to mention that this happens when I use either headphones (tried both usb and 3.5mm jack) or an external speaker system. I have not, however, observed it when using one of my monitor's speakers over HDMI.
