I had to disable the motherboard’s network adapter and install a separate network card.Īnd I realized it’s not just an audio problem, because all the system becomes sluggish when downloading. I have encountered this myself, such that the half fried network adapter on a motherboard was generating thousands of interrupts per second. Is this still true? Did you update the network drivers? Were there any recent strong thunderstorms with lightning in your area? If yes, then the network adapter could be half fried. Installation of each class of the above drivers must always be followed by a reboot.ĭon’t mess with trying to uninstall or reinstall any of the above types of drivers, since I first want to know what driver versions are currently installed.įinally, in your initial post you mentioned that the audio stuttering disappeared when you disabled the network adapter. The above is the sequential order in which I always install or update hardware drivers. Then we can look at any possible driver version issues, in particular for these drivers: Once you have either confirmed that you originally did everything correctly, or have now done the BIOS flash correctly, then we can rule that out as being the cause of your audio stuttering issues. Or perhaps you are referring to Microsoft’s post December 2017 Windows Updates for Windows 7? When you say “Spectre patch,” what are you referring to? I ask because some people are flashing custom modded BIOS files with Intel’s latest microcode which has Spectre and Meltdown mitigations. Yet I note that you mentioned a Spectre patch in your original post. I noted that the BIOS updates for your computer do not mention protection for Meltdown and Spectre. After flashing and rebooting, immediately go back into BIOS and change any settings back to your preferred settings. Remember, it is important to first reset the BIOS to its default settings before flashing the BIOS. The upshot is, please make sure that you have properly flashed (upgraded) your computer’s BIOS per the instructions from ASUS about how to do it. Another possibility is that it is always recommended to reset your BIOS to its default settings before flashing the BIOS to a updated BIOS. I wonder if this is what is causing your audio stuttering. That can cause issues since the rest of the updated BIOS is expecting to be using the updated Intel ME drivers. If you flashed the BIOS without using the ME Update Tool, then the Intel ME drivers were not updated. I also note that the latest BIOS for your computer’s motherboard requires you to use the ME Update Tool since the BIOS contains updated ME drivers. I looked at the BIOS download page for your computer’s motherboard. At the start, you mentioned that you flashed your computer’s BIOS for Meltdown and Spectre. ZA used to be (still is according to your comment) one of the latter and only a temporary uninstall for testing purposes would rule it out.Įnable the default firewall, it’s pretty good (many 3rd party firewalls now work, or can successfully work with, the Windows firewall), if you decide to uninstall ZA, then use their uninstall tool/routine to (hopefully) ensure all remnants are removed – don’t forget to save any keys for pay software before uninstalling. Check for BIOS updates.”Īny active security software could contribute to a logjam situation, sometimes a simple disabling of the security software during testing is enough but many tie in so deeply that some modules are still active/blocking. One problem may be related to power management, disable CPU throttling settings in Control Panel and BIOS setup. In case you are using a WLAN adapter, try disabling it to get better results. At least one detected problem appears to be network related. One or more DPC routines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing for too long. You are likely to experience buffer underruns appearing as drop outs, clicks or pops. “Your system appears to be having trouble handling real-time audio and other tasks. how can I even fix that? There aren’t even new drivers for it! I found that the latency went back to normal if I… disabled the network adapter! ( Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (2) I219-V ) So, I’ve investigated the problem with LatencyMon, which reported issues with ndis.sys. I thought it could be due to the Spectre patch, but the CPU didn’t seem to struggle at all. Hello, after applying a bunch of Windows updates, I noticed that my pc started suffering from audio stuttering problems.
