Audio CRACKS/POPS and DPC/ISR LATENCY - Dell XPS 8950 Windows 11, Help appreciated

APOM · Dec 3, 2022

I've had this PC for 2 years now and use it for making music a lot yet have had frequent latency spikes which on investigating seem to be related to processing real time audio as per Latency Monitor. It's recording incredibly high DPS and ISR and I have tried every solution I could find to address this. I don't use CPU throttling, my drivers are up to date as is my BIOS.
I use an audio interface linked to headphones and also Monitors, I find the spikes happen when using either and even with the default audio output through monitor. I have two separate monitors linked using Display Link but have the same issue when just hooking up one with HDMI.

Seen as I use this for music heavily I would really like to get this sorted so appreciate any advice and solutions you can suggest.
