I have this same problem as well:
Audio CRACKS/POPS and DPC/ISR LATENCY - Dell XPS 8950 Windows 11, Help appreciated
I have XPS 8950 system (i7 12700K + 3070 rtx +32RAM ddr5) with Windows 11 pro.
I have exactly the same experience of crackling noise, that happen randomly.
LatencyMon show some random spikes (up to 38500μs) and the report says that wdf01000.sys is responsible, or stopport.sys, or ntoskrnl.exe
I know that nvidia drivers add some latency (+100μς) because I tried latencymon without nvidia drivers and the latency was lower, but the spikes was still there.
Of course I tried things like:
1. Power management -> High performance (for windows and for nvidia)
2. Making all the drivers with negative IRQ to msi mode
3. Deactivated Ipv6 from network settings
4. Deactivated dynamic tick
5. Deactivated all audio drivers/devices
6. Deactivated high precision event timer from Device Manager -> System Devices
7. Deactivated wifi and bluetooth
8. Removed any antivirus/antimalware program
7. All drivers up to date + windows update + Bios update
None of these helped to eliminate the spikes.
Dell told me that the motherboard will be replaced, but I don't think it will really help.
Maybe a clean windows 11 install?
Can you help me?
I cannot accept that a 2.500$ PC cannot do simple multimedia tasks (like video /mp3 playback) correctly.
