Hello. First i'm going to say that my english is not good. Excuseme.

This is my hardware:

Motherboard: Asrock G31M-GS R2.0
Video: Nvidia GeForce GT240
CPU: Dual Core E6700
Sound: M-Audio Fast Track Pro
RAM: 4GB
Wifi: Netway NW579

It's running on windows 7 x64.

I have an external soundcard. When i'm playing video, online video or the GPU is too bussy y have noise, cutted sound...

The latency is well configured but the sound is crackled, cutted and noisy. When i'm playing online video in full screen is a nightmare.

I runned DPC latency checkers and i got too bad results with the video system.

I need a solution because i'm producing video and audio and it's a big problem. :(

i have a complete clean installation. i have no virus. i have the latest drivers... 2 or 3 months ago it worked well but it crashed. I'm triying to work but i can't. I have noise and when i'm working 15 or 20 minutes some channels (in the sequencer) go out. :eek:

Nothing to do with that, change for a better sound card...

it's picking electrical noise, use only the card port, not the front one (they're worse than any on card output for interference noise)

Move the soundcard the further you can from the GPU, it's the only way to remove the most interference possible, if that don't work, pick a better sound card that have a higher SNR...

I had this problem and depluging the front ports resolve most of the interference, however i always had some with a X-FI until i changed for a Xonar sound card...

It's a external soundcard. Plugged in a USB port. The card isn't near my computer. The normal electromagnetic interferences doesn't affect it. And it worked well since the last year.

It's late today. Tomorrow i'll try to use the onboard soundcard and make a test in another computer and i'll say to you.

This is the result of LAtencymon (a DPC latency checker):

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
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. Also one or more ISR 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.
LatencyMon has been analyzing your system for 0:00:05 (h:mm:ss) on all processors.

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): 2844,079587
Average measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 2,940680

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
MEASURED SMI, IPI AND CPU STALLS

The SMI, IPI and CPU stalls value represents the highest measured interval that a CPU did not respond while having its maskable interrupts disabled.

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.

I tried with another soundcard today an i have the same problem. i think it's something of my graphic card but i can`t find the trouble.

Well. I found a possible solution. I have installed a 2012 nvidia drivers and the dpc is a half.

The ne nvidia drivers come with hdmi sound drivers. The hdmi driver put 5 hq audio channels in the system and burns the computer.

I will try to make a lower dpc numbers but it's a beginning

I'm not sure if I would count on that program. It says i'm having the same problem. When I don't have any issues lol. I ran the program to see the out come.

CONCLUSION
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Your system seems to have difficulty handling real-time audio and other tasks. You may experience drop outs, clicks or pops due to buffer underruns. One or more DPC routines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing for too long. At least one detected problem appears to be network related. In case you are using a WLAN adapter, try disabling it to get better results. One problem may be related to power management, disable CPU throttling settings in Control Panel and BIOS setup. Check for BIOS updates.

I do agree though that there is some sort of electrical interference.

Ok. I have a capture.

I reduced the problem making some changes in BIOS. I disabled SPEEDSTEP and i put a 128 value in PCI Latency Timer. It's better than yesterday but it don't works fine.
