Popping and Cracking sounds during set on Traktor 3 pro
Hi everyone,
Recently I've been experiencing popping and cracking sounds during set playing on Traktor 3 pro. It usually happens a couple of minutes after I start playing and when the two decks are playing.
I have tried to update the BIOS driver and it didn't work, I also tried to play with the buffer size and increase the buffer offset.
I use Traktor 3 pro + Traktor control s2 mk3 I use asio2all as an audio device (in order to use my laptop's speaker). The problem is still present even if I play without the controller.
I downloaded latency moon and ran the test, the results and system specs are below:
CONCLUSION
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Your system appears to be having trouble handling real-time audio and other tasks. You are likely to experience buffer underruns appearing as drop outs, clicks or pops. One or more DPC routines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing for too long. One problem may be related to power management, disable CPU throttling settings in Control Panel and BIOS setup. Check for BIOS updates.
LatencyMon has been analyzing your system for 0:01:02 (h:mm:ss) on all processors.

SYSTEM INFORMATION
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Computer name: DESKTOP-B2D0LD9
OS version: Windows 10, 10.0, version 2009, build: 22000 (x64)
Hardware: HP Pavilion x360 Convertible 14-dh0xxx, HP
CPU: GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8265U CPU @ 1.60GHz

MEASURED INTERRUPT TO USER PROCESS LATENCIES
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The interrupt to process latency reflects the measured interval that a usermode process needed to respond to a hardware request from the moment the interrupt service routine started execution. This includes the scheduling and execution of a DPC routine, the signaling of an event and the waking up of a usermode thread from an idle wait state in response to that event.
Highest measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 431.70
Average measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 10.098262
Highest measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 427.10
Average measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 4.094526

REPORTED ISRs
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Interrupt service routines are routines installed by the OS and device drivers that execute in response to a hardware interrupt signal.
Highest ISR routine execution time (µs): 84.640556
Driver with highest ISR routine execution time: Wdf01000.sys - Kernel Mode Driver Framework Runtime, Microsoft Corporation
Highest reported total ISR routine time (%): 0.009335
Driver with highest ISR total time: Wdf01000.sys - Kernel Mode Driver Framework Runtime, Microsoft Corporation
Total time spent in ISRs (%) 0.009507
ISR count (execution time <250 µs): 10182
ISR count (execution time 250-500 µs): 0
ISR count (execution time 500-1000 µs): 0
ISR count (execution time 1000-2000 µs): 0
ISR count (execution time 2000-4000 µs): 0
ISR count (execution time >=4000 µs): 0
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
REPORTED DPCs
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
DPC routines are part of the interrupt servicing dispatch mechanism and disable the possibility for a process to utilize the CPU while it is interrupted until the DPC has finished execution.
Highest DPC routine execution time (µs): 2366.426667
Driver with highest DPC routine execution time: ACPI.sys - ACPI Driver for NT, Microsoft Corporation
Highest reported total DPC routine time (%): 0.164039
Driver with highest DPC total execution time: Wdf01000.sys - Kernel Mode Driver Framework Runtime, Microsoft Corporation
Total time spent in DPCs (%) 0.204994
DPC count (execution time <250 µs): 37639
DPC count (execution time 250-500 µs): 0
DPC count (execution time 500-10000 µs): 71
DPC count (execution time 1000-2000 µs): 2
DPC count (execution time 2000-4000 µs): 1
DPC count (execution time >=4000 µs): 0

REPORTED HARD PAGEFAULTS
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hard pagefaults are events that get triggered by making use of virtual memory that is not resident in RAM but backed by a memory mapped file on disk. The process of resolving the hard pagefault requires reading in the memory from disk while the process is interrupted and blocked from execution.
NOTE: some processes were hit by hard pagefaults. If these were programs producing audio, they are likely to interrupt the audio stream resulting in dropouts, clicks and pops. Check the Processes tab to see which programs were hit.
Process with highest pagefault count: ekrn.exe
Total number of hard pagefaults 10
Hard pagefault count of hardest hit process: 4
Number of processes hit: 5
