My New Laptop Driver Setting

zephry

I added my new settings to my signature for this computer.

Asus Rog Strix G173PV 2023 model

AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX 3.00 ghz64.0 GB

Windows 11 Pro Version 24H2

Using Wasapi Windows Shared Driver for the S4mk3 44100khz

Before I was using the Asio driver for the S4mk3 but with the setup above this is more stable. I have tested for about 8 hrs with no issues, Traktor 4.2.034.

This Asus Rog was hard to setup. I ended up narrowing the problem down to Gpu switching, i used bios to force only the Nvidia Gpu use. the automatic switch caused problems with any audio or video. I also was using the Steinberg UR242 soundcard that caused constant system restarts.

It took about a week of troubleshooting and research.

The Steinberg Audio card was used mainly for Ableton production software and editing Traktor Playlists.

It is not a Traktor issue, there are many issues with this card on Windows 11 and some computers, I am not sure what the conflict is that causes this. I now only use this card as an audio pass through and inputs to use my monitor speakers when needed with the Asus Rog Strix. My older Asus rog Zephryrus works fine with the Steinberg card so I will be using that laptop for music production.

It can be a real headache figuring stuff like this out. Many People assume it is Traktor or whatever audio software you may be using. The quick way to find out is test Youtube and also disconnect any soundcards before assuming it is a Traktor issue. Also the current Windows updates along with devices and software can end up being the problem.

One of the reasons I knew this setup and troubleshooting was not a Traktor issue was because, there were no Cpu spikes. I tested with Latencymon software and the system was stable for audio use. Plus the audio issues and stabilty problem happened system wide on all applications, not just Traktor.
