Hi
I have ran Latency Mon as I am getting issues when using using my Traktor Kontrol s3 DJ controller causing real time audio play back issues and the above driver is reporting Highest execution of over 5.83 which appears to be causing the audio issues - have you any advice on what I can do to improve this?
Windows/drivers/BIOS are all up to date

CONCLUSION
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Your system appears to be having trouble handling real-time audio and other tasks. You are likely to experience buffer underruns
appearing as drop outs, clicks or pops. One or more DPC routines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing
for too long. One problem may be related to power management, disable CPU throttling settings in Control Panel and BIOS setup. Check for
BIOS updates.

MEASURED INTERRUPT TO USER PROCESS LATENCIES
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The interrupt to process latency reflects the measured interval that a usermode process needed to respond to a hardware request from the
moment the interrupt service routine started execution. This includes the scheduling and execution of a DPC routine, the signaling of an
event and the waking up of a usermode thread from an idle wait state in response to that event.
Highest measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 418.20
Average measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 18.544421
Highest measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 399.30
Average measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 5.148406

REPORTED HARD PAGEFAULTS
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hard pagefaults are events that get triggered by making use of virtual memory that is not resident in RAM but backed by a memory mapped
file on disk. The process of resolving the hard pagefault requires reading in the memory from disk while the process is interrupted and
blocked from execution.
NOTE: some processes were hit by hard pagefaults. If these were programs producing audio, they are likely to interrupt the audio stream
resulting in dropouts, clicks and pops. Check the Processes tab to see which programs were hit.
Process with highest pagefault count: msmpeng.exe
Total number of hard pagefaults 49848
Hard pagefault count of hardest hit process: 23033
Number of processes hit: 76

Chiming in to say that, after months of searching for a solution, this suggested NVidia settings tweak mentioned above was *finally* the fix for me as well: Nvidia Control Panel -> Manage 3D Settings, and setting Low Latency Mode to "Ultra", and Power Management Mode to "Prefer Maximum Performance".
Hello!
So many years I have same problem on Windows 10 (22H2) with Behringer UMC202HD USB 2.0 (every driver since 5.00, now it have 5.57).
The overall audio dropouts when I playing Naraka Bladepoint. The sound dropouts for 1 second every 1-2 minute.
Behringer driver 4.59 worked fine, but Behringer support doesn't see the reason in their drivers.
There is no any problem with onboard Realtek HD Audio and Creative X-Fi Titanium PCIe.

Hi, I solved my problem. (HP victus 15, Windows11)
I got this message from LatencyMon:
Conclusion: Your system appears to be having trouble handling real-time audio and other tasks. You are likely to experience buffer underruns appearing as drop outs, clicks or pops. One or more DPC routines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing for too long.

I did followed steps and still had the problem.
But finally, I solved problem by:
I'm not English native so be aware of translation.
Not solved, but reduced...
I've found a solution to this issue! But I don't perfectly like it, still doesn't explain much, and isn't a general solution.
My MOTU audio card was apparently "the problem". I've started using my Virus TI main output (SPDIF) as a windows audio card; I've disabled Windows audio MOTU WDM & left my MOTU as an ASIO only audio card.. so my Virus handles Windows WDM computer audio & passes that via SPDIF input to my MOTU which is still my main sudio out (and Windows ASIO card) to amps & monitors. This lets me use MOTU ASIO through my audio software, and I just have a spdif/line input for windows audio into my main 'external' audio card.
It is a little strange thinking of my main computer ASIO audio card as 'external' to my main windows audio card, but it's not difficult and it works just fine. All audio issues and latencies are now resolved.
I guess Windows doesn't like MOTU WDM audio drivers, or doesn't like them in combination with some other set of things in my rig.
Thanks for replying Edmond, I will try that Low Latency mode set to Ultra as it was by default set to OFF.
I will post back if this makes any noticable changes on my machine.
Thanks again!
