LatencyMon measures high latency but doesn't appear to by drivers
Been having some audio issue and I'm really close to giving up.
I re installed windows and in one of the past few stays I've started having audio crackling/static. Ended up with LatencyMon to see if it was driver related but the driver reports don't spike ( http://puu.sh/e39Fh/e43544115e.png ) unless I'm understanding this wrong. And I've disabled the cpu throttling for the most part. (I think)
It's very noticeable during a couple of songs, and it also happens when I quickly change between in-game menus (dota 2 for example, clicking on each of the menu tabs in quick succession causes a crackle)
Is this my onboard audio dying? I'm pretty sure I have the same drivers as my last windows install (although I'm somewhat confused about that, the gigabyte website states I have a VIA audio chip but their driver downloads only list RealTek Azalia stuff.
What can cause this aside from drivers and onboard audio hardware? Bad gpu drivers? Bad RAM?
edit: I just tried with some other peripherals and the crackling persists. Earbuds, different earphones and a USB headset. Tried in front and rear jack.
