High DPC Latency No Stuttering
Recently I had some High DPC Latency which I believe was the cause of some sound stuttering. I believed it was my headset but when my new headset, Sennheiser PC363D, came in I had the same problem. At the time I was unaware of what DPC Latency was and just thought my old headset was dying. When I used my new headset I experienced the same stutter in sound. I never once experienced any stutter in sound when I use my TV, I use a TV as a monitor.
I ended up switching USB ports a couple times and found that I no longer had any sound stutter but I was still experiencing High DPC Latency.
If I am playing music through youtube and teamspeak I experience on average 550 DPC Latency.
If I turn on OBS to stream I experience around 600-700 DPC Latency
If I turn on Steam to play games I experience about 12000+ DPC Latency
Now I know none of this is normal because my friends are running all of this on computers that are not as strong as mine and are averaging 50 DPC Latency, 130 DPC Latency, and 80 DPC Latency.
I tried doing this guide How to Diagnose and Fix High DPC Latency Issues with WPA (Windows Vista/7/8) - Sysnative Forums but I was getting stuck on this part xperf -d %userprofile%\Desktop\trace.etl
I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me lower my DPC Latency or give me an explanation why mine is so much higher than my friends who rigs are not as good as mine.
Either way thanks for the help ahead of time! As a note I am not extremely tech savvy but I have diagnosed most of this on my own or with the help of the guide.
