I have been using traktor pro 3 past 1 year and i am still facing same issue of audio stuttering and crackling, I tried buffer & sample rate settings, checked corrupted files but no corrupted files, disabled all background apps & startup program, I even reseted my whole laptop and still facing this issue, then I commented every post of Native instruments, they just simply replied there is no update for pro 3 so update pro 4, and i strongly believe that pro 4 also has same issue of previous version, I just gone through my friends who's uses pro 4 there are lot of bug, I am out of my savings to update pro 4 so i nearly need a year to update. So any volunteer who reading this can help me via reply

    Have you tried the following;

    The Processor scheduling setting lets you choose if your computer should process Programs with higher priority, or Background Services with higher priority. In this context, Programs refer to applications you can see and interact with on your screen. Background Services refer to software that you don't directly interface with but is running in the background and handling essential system tasks. The most important example of a background service in the context of this guide is the driver for your audio interface.

    A common reason for dropouts and audio artifacts is the audio interface driver not being able to process all of its data in time. Increasing the processing priority for background services (and with it, the priority of the audio driver) often contributes to improved audio performance. To configure your computer to process background services with higher priority, do the following:

    1. Open the Windows Advanced System Settings by clicking on the Start button (Windows icon) and typing 'Advanced System Settings'. Click on the option that appears.
    2. On the Advanced tab under Performance click the Settings... button.
    3. Once again, on the Advanced tab under Performance Options select Background Services.
    4. Note: some applications may work better if the Processor Scheduling parameter remains set to Programs. If your audio performance worsens after following the steps above, revert the setting back to Programs. You may also refer to the documentation of the manufacturer of the software for more information on what setting should be used.

    Screenshot your audio settings in Traktor to start with.

    Perhaps the e-cores are the reason for this.

    Why are you using your onboard Realtek soundcard rather than the S4mk3? Also, could try re-enabling multi-core processing

    A few years ago, I once had an issue with a faulty laptop charger that caused crackling and humming in the sound of Traktor. Just to be sure, have you tried using a different laptop charger?

    For Windows 11 - this is pretty much a guarantee. Have not come across anyone that installed this OS and did not have an immediate issue with core parking.

    Get LatencyMon (free app) and the Bitsum tools and take control of these cores - things will magically start to work.

    Or do what I did - and use Windows 10 - infinitely better and not effected by any "core" nonsense.

    This tweak was cool about 10-15 years ago.

    But with Windows 11 and it's brutal Thread Director - you need to get your hands dirty - unfortunately and get your CPU core management under your own control.
