[SOLVED] Another high DPC latency issue with sound distortion

Heh, I thought I needed to edit the original post to change the subject. Didn't realize there was that super handy "Mark as Solved" button. :)

[SOLVED] Another high DPC latency issue with sound distortion

1000 watt power supply in the machine thankfully. :) So it turns out, that the issue was in fact NOT fixed. I've been wrestling with it for awhile again but didn't want to spam the boards with more false positives etc. I DID finally resolve the issue though. Wow. Turns out that the video...

[SOLVED] Another high DPC latency issue with sound distortion

Yeah I was contemplating turning off SMART monitoring as I was thinking maybe it was sending a notification and that's what was causing the interrupt. So now that things have been stable (barring that one weird issue with the driver re-enable) I'm going to go ahead and install the other Radeon...

[SOLVED] Another high DPC latency issue with sound distortion

I'm still gonna call this fixed but... Was playing some D3 with a buddy and plugged in my headphones which required a driver install. After setting up the voice chat and starting the game up, blammo the problem popped up again. This bugged me a lot, so I opened up the device manager to take a...

[SOLVED] Another high DPC latency issue with sound distortion

Well... I think I finally figured it out. Drove on over to Fry's today and bought another 90 gig SSD to put the OS on. Popped it in, changed the boot order of the hds, and then installed Win7 on the new 90 gig. It booted up fine, ran all my updates and driver configs etc. I still had the...

[SOLVED] Another high DPC latency issue with sound distortion

So I thought I would go ahead and post my current BIOS settings here for y'all and see if there's anything odd that you can see. I've put a few notes on some of the lines, in brackets at the end [like this]. Also, as for the format, each nested menu item gets tabbed in one spot. And the main...

[SOLVED] Another high DPC latency issue with sound distortion

Soooo I haven't picked up my daughter yet. But what I have done is enable AHCI mode. The first thing I've noticed is that, of course, my machine is SOO much faster (as it should be. Can't believe I was in IDE mode with an SSD for all this time). Also the other thing is that in the IDE...

[SOLVED] Another high DPC latency issue with sound distortion

You're exactly right. So the history is that initially I had everything (cdrom, bluray, both HDs) plugged into the Intel connections (of which there are 6). I've long since unplugged both optical drives completely. After some research I moved both HDs to the Marvell connections (only 2 of em)...

[SOLVED] Another high DPC latency issue with sound distortion

Yeah, the sound artifacts are the first thing I notice, then I look over to the other monitor at the DPC monitor tool and it's pegged. Yeah, when I did the reinstall I didn't install any of Gigabyte's tools (EasyTune, DES2, etc etc). I also haven't installed a virus scanner yet. Windows...

[SOLVED] Another high DPC latency issue with sound distortion

Ok, so still not fixed, but here's some more info: I did a ton of research into my motherboard and peripherals. Turns out I had my USB mouse plugged into a eSata/USB port on the back. Not a big deal, but I went ahead and disabled the eSata capability in BIOS and moved the mouse to a USB 3.0...

[SOLVED] Another high DPC latency issue with sound distortion

The only things plugged in right now are my mouse and keyboard. I went ahead and disconnected the front case USB connectors from the motherboard to totally isolate those out. I had EasyTune installed, but not running. For kicks, I turned it on and watched the DPC Latency become an issue right...

[SOLVED] Another high DPC latency issue with sound distortion

A little more info... I was attempting to cause the problem to occur again, with xperf running. As these things go, it was, of course, not happening. So since the log was getting rather large, i decided to generate up the .etl file as a "this is an ok log" and then hopefully be able to...

[SOLVED] Another high DPC latency issue with sound distortion

Hey folks, Got another fun issue that's been extremely frustrating. The short story is that while playing many different games, the audio will suddenly develop a horrid popping reverb that will last for awhile (ten to fifteen minutes usually) and eventually go away. I've had this happen...
