Please try downloading and running Process Explorer using right-click -> Run as administrator and using it to monitor Interrupts. First while the system is idle and then while triggering the audio glitches. Process Explorer is supposed to be more accurate.

C cwsink Sysnative Staff, BSOD Kernel Dump Expert Staff member Joined Apr 3, 2017 Posts 520 Jun 9, 2022 #65 Can you open up the CPU details tab in Process Explorer and make a video triggering the glitches while showing the context switch, interrupt, and DPC delta counter? Of particular interest is core 0 as that's where audiodg.exe processes audio. Attachments 2022-06-09.png 26.8 KB · Views: 5 Last edited: Jun 9, 2022

I can generate them on my machine by opening the volume mixer and clicking repeatedly on the Applications System Sounds slider. I don't even need to move it... just repeatedly click it. And yet I don't get the cracks and pops if I do the same to the Device Speakers slider. I don't know why it happens for one and not the other.

C cwsink Sysnative Staff, BSOD Kernel Dump Expert Staff member Joined Apr 3, 2017 Posts 520 Jun 10, 2022 #69 Can you get a trace using the MXA profile while doing what you were doing in the latest video? Also, please uninstall LatencyMon as it installs a driver that simulates media playback which makes general performance somewhat worse and can interfere with the trace.

C cwsink Sysnative Staff, BSOD Kernel Dump Expert Staff member Joined Apr 3, 2017 Posts 520 Jun 10, 2022 #75 When you try the other system, does it also have FH5 installed and running in the background while working with other apps/programs? If so, I'd be interested in a 30 second trace from that machine to get a sense of what's going on in a system not having the glitches. Is that an option?

C cwsink Sysnative Staff, BSOD Kernel Dump Expert Staff member Joined Apr 3, 2017 Posts 520 Jun 10, 2022 #77 Hopefully we'll figure it out before then but, if not, I might need such a trace for comparison if it's not too much trouble.

The Spectre/Meltdown security update had a significant performance impact on some CPUs. I think they've managed to claw back some performance since, but not all.

C cwsink Sysnative Staff, BSOD Kernel Dump Expert Staff member Joined Apr 3, 2017 Posts 520 Jun 11, 2022 #79 Please post a screenshot of the Ethernet adapter driver properties. I'm seeing a driver named e1d65x64.sys making some very long running calls running on core 0 which would be interfering with the audio output stream. However, I don't see that driver listed in your Drivers(1).txt file. I see an Intel Gigabit Adapter NDIS 6.x driver in the text file but the driver is named e1d.sys which seems inconsistent.
