St-St-St Stutter Bug in Win10 Audio

[clockdogg]

Audio is the poor step-child of windows media support. While Microsoft has had decades to figure it out. Their recent response has been muted. At this point, some wouldn't trust Win10 to playback John Cage's 4:33 glitch-free.

probably only happens during transmission of all of your audio output, mic and video streams to Microsoft's servers. They should have this patched soon.

What output? Hdmi, optical?

I've had issues with digital streams and receivers/dacs that go into rest mode with no active signal available


Oh this is fp news. My bad. Thought I was in the audio sub forum.

DPC latency in Windows has been f**ked since at least 8. It's really unfortunate, because it seems like such a basic thing that can ruin the platform for folks who do a lot of audio stuff and don't have asio hardware

Fwiw, the Nvidia driver can also be a culprit in this- on 1903 I'm seeing a dramatic reduction in latency spikes with fewer audio dropouts in general and margianally less stuttering in games after switching to AMD. And of course software raid can really mess things up latency-wise too

shit I didn't think anyone would take what I posted seriously.................

Don't worry, the next update will conveniently delete all your media files to eliminate the issue.
