Here is a list of common drivers that cause issues and how to solve the problem: The user would have to deactivate, update or reconfigure all the drivers circled in red as their Highest Execution is well over 0.1mS. This user would most certainly experience audio glitches such as clicks and pops and audio dropouts. Here is an example of a system that would be very likely to cause issues: For example, a system with a driver executing at 0.6mS and another driver executing at 0.5mS can be added together to a total of 1.1mS. Please note that multiple drivers may be contributing to the problem. These drivers should be either deactivated, updated or reconfigured in order to reduce their latency value. These are the drivers that are causing your audio glitches. A healthy system with no audio glitches will have all drivers executing significantly under 1mS, ideally under 0.1mS However, systems that are exhibiting audio glitches will have drivers that are executing well over 1mS. Within this column, you will be able to see how long all of your drivers are taking to execute. Here you will find a column that says Highest Execution (mS). To identify which processes are causing the audio glitches, navigate to the drivers tab. This will allow plenty of time for the Audio glitch to happen and therefore be captured by LatencyMon.Īfter you have stopped the test by pressing the red STOP button, You will be presented with tabs full of information. Allow the audio playback and LatencyMon test to run for about 10 minutes. Set the software to playback audio and press the green start button within LatencyMon. Īfter installing LatencyMon, open the application and also the piece of software that you experience the audio glitches on. LatencyMon can be downloaded from this link. However, a third party application called LatencyMon by Resplendence makes this process so much easier. This is the lowest settings that your computer can operate on.ĭiagnosing what could be causing issues with audio glitches on your PC can be a difficult process. Then increase this setting to the next larger setting. Now start reducing the buffer setting until you hear glitches.
First set your buffer size to the highest setting. The next step in optimising your system will be finding out what your computer is already capable of doing. We highly recommend that you always use the ASIO driver for our products and not other windows audio drivers such as WASAPI or DirectSound. These drivers can be found under downloads on the relevant product page. These should be attempted if you are having issues with your hardware or software relating to audio, or if you would just like to squeeze a bit more processing power out of your machine.įirst, you should download and install the latest driver for your Audient iD interface.
Here are some things that you can do to tailor the settings on your PC to optimise it for audio.
