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 ISRs

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Interrupt service routines are routines installed by the OS and device drivers that execute in response to a hardware interrupt signal.

REPORTED DPCs

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

DPC routines are part of the interrupt servicing dispatch mechanism and disable the possibility for a process to utilize the CPU while it

is interrupted until the DPC has finished execution.

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

    To solve this issue on my PC I had to separate out the audiosrv tasks from the CPU 0 and 1 processors (I recall I put it on processors 6 amd 7 but you can pick processors that are not used). The windows OS defaults a number of these critical realtime tasks to CPUs 0 and 1 .... so you NEED TO CHANGE THAT for all tasks that you need to run in realtime and not have them interrupted by whatever is running on CPU 0 and 1.

    - 1. Desactive la configuración de suspensión selectiva de USB en su plan de energía, esto ayuda especialmente con la latencia de storport.sys, así como con otros de la lista anterior.

    -2. *IMPORTANTE* Descargue PowerSettingsExplorer desde aquí y ejecútelo como administrador. Luego busque las siguientes 2 opciones: Umbral de degradación de inactividad del procesador y Umbral de promoción de inactividad del procesador, **DESMARQUE ambas, luego vaya a la configuración de su plan de energía, busque la nueva opción en "Administración de energía del procesador" y configure ambas al 100%. . Eso ayuda a reducir casi todas las latencias. Si está satisfecho, puede detenerse aquí; si desea intentar reducirlas aún más, continúe.

    -3. (Para NVIDIA, lea a continuación) Use DDU y luego NVCleanstall para instalar sus controladores, esto ayuda a reducir la latencia de nvlddmkm.sys ya que no hay telemetría ni otras basura ejecutándose en segundo plano. Además, seleccione "Preferir rendimiento máximo" en su configuración 3D. (Para AMD, lea a continuación) Utilice DDU y descargue el paquete de controladores más reciente, extráigalo y cancele la instalación una vez finalizada. Después de eso, vaya al administrador de dispositivos, busque su adaptador de pantalla, haga clic en actualizar controlador, seleccione "examinar mi computadora" y seleccione el directorio donde se extrajeron los controladores AMD e instálelos, nuevamente, sin problemas. Esto me ayudó a reducir la latencia de wdf01000.sys. Puede intentar usar MorePowerTool (AMD) de IgorsLab bajo su propio riesgo y con su propia investigación. Además, desactive el modo de ahorro de energía ultrabajo (ULPS) a través de MSI Afterburner, que se encuentra en la configuración.

    -4. Descargue MSI Utility v3 desde aquí y ejecútelo como administrador, configure su GPU en modo MSI (es posible que ya esté activado de forma predeterminada) y establezca la prioridad en Alta, luego reinicie y pruebe. Al menos debería ayudar con la tartamudez en juegos específicos, si no con la latencia, aunque ayudó a reducir la mía ligeramente.

    -5. Desinstale Windows Update Health Tools. Esto reduce la latencia por alguna razón desconocida; sin embargo, tenga en cuenta que se usa para determinar si su PC es capaz de ejecutar Windows 11 y no podrá actualizar si elimina él.

    -6. Probablemente hayas escuchado esto muchas veces, pero por si acaso, descarga los controladores de tu chipset directamente del fabricante de tu placa base. Sin embargo, Windows generalmente instala todo automáticamente para que todo siga funcionando, por lo que es posible que ni siquiera sea necesario si los problemas de latencia se solucionan en este momento.

    I do this in mart/april this year. It not do the essential improvement. It will be less delay, of course. Thanks. I know this moment.

    My purpose - obtain it is sufficiently silent working the computer at runthrough of the audio files and under their correction from vinyl plate since  headphones beside  me although and perfect (Shanheizer) 0.05% 10 Hz - 25kHz, but opened.

    The System to ventilations beside me it is sufficiently production that for case that for processor (disseminate 210 Watt, silent fun), all fans - silent (Be Quiet all). I use exponential increase a turn when increase the temperature since threshold in at 50-70 degrees Celsius in BIOS in 4 points of motherboard. The case is quite well blown out. Parking disk - is silenced with program, to auidio files I use SSD.

    Thanks.

    I imagine he is referring to the Microsoft Interrupt Affinity Tool which allows you to change the CPU affinity of the interrupts for a given device. For example, you can assign the most problematic drivers (HDAudBus.sys, Wdf01000.sys & nvlddmkm.sys, in my case) to the least used cores. btw - I played with this tool for a bit, made a real mess of things. Might not want to change the affinity on more than two devices at a time.

    You will need LatencyMon from Resplendence Software.

    Here are three YouTube videos you can watch.

    HOW TO - Interrupt Affinity Policy Tool

    Using Interrupt Affinity Policy Tool FOR LOWEST LATENCY

    Lower LATENCY and INPUT LAG using Interrupt Affinity Policy

    p.s. this is just a band aid, if what jogladik says above about the system timer is true, then I think he's found the culprit.
