Hi all. This is my first time posting. I created an account in hopes of fixing this maddening problem. First my system info:
CPU = Intel i5-4690K @ 3.50 Ghz
GPU = AMD Radeon R9 380
MB = Gigabyte Z97MX-Gaming 5
OS = Windows 10 64-bit
Ram = 8.00 GB
So the problem I'm having deals with high latency that seems to be causing audio stuttering while gaming, either online or offline. I have been trying to crack this for days and tried a hundred different solutions, but nothing has worked so far. DPC Latency Checker shows all yellow bars consistently around just over 1,000 ms, even when no manual programs are running. LatencyMon doesn't really point to any specific drivers that are causing spikes, though a random one will occasionally show up here at a high level. I have updated all of my drivers, and reinstalled some that could potentially be causing this, but had no luck.
I run a HDMI straight from the GPU to my big screen as my primary monitor, which is then connected to my home theater system via standard audio cables. I also run a DVI to HDMI cable directly from the GPU to a second monitor that is used for work related stuff. I disconnected everything but the direct connection from the GPU to the primary monitor, but the latency did not decrease at all. I also run my main system applications off a Samsung 250 GB SSD, while my games and other large memory programs are stored on a WD 1 TB HD.
I have used the basic Windows Troubleshooting app which didn't help. I did a system scan (sfc /scannow) which found corrupt files, but was unable to fix them. CBS Logs show most of the errors are either duplicate ownership (which I've read shouldn't create any problems), or problems with Windows Update retrieving files. So I run the Windows Update Troubleshooter and it says it fixes the problem, but it keeps resurfacing. I've also run a Dism RestoreHealth, which tells me the source files could not be found. The Dism logs say the same thing. And this is where I'm stuck. I have no idea where to go from here. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. This is my first PC build, and I'm pretty happy with how everything turned out with the exception of this one minor annoyance. Thanks in advance!
