For example, Realtek drivers are not the newest, but they launch a Realtek Audio Console (a Microsoft Store app) - whether Gigabyte drivers are newest, but they don't launch this Audio Console. I've done it, however, with Realtek regarding to ALC1200 codec, but hey - this is a mess like h*ll :/ Unexpected, as I was sitting at X-Fi all the time so far, so got used to all-working-option-even-when-unknown-but-easy-to-presume-what-they-do, totally unlike with Realtek mess. No, I didn't use AMD chipset drivers, but will see if there are some improvements in ones from AMD.
Gigabyte Gaming G1 GTX 970 (two displays connected, but second display is turned off)Ĭlick to expand.It's a Win 10 as I don't do such a mistake like using OS with drivers at beta stage W10 didn't give me an option to update to W11, so I understand not all devices used in my PC are handled well so far. Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium PCIe (currently disabled in device manager) Toshiba DT01ACA300 HDD 3TB SATA SMART report OK Gigabyte Aorus B550 Elite V2 (newest BIOS F14e), no changes in options, SecureBoot disabled Most likely some voltages are too low, but I had no chance to check it yet:Īs I've just finished platform change & installs/setups. Setup should work as supposed, not being limited any way. I will not play with BIOS settings regarding to frequency, C states etc. It's frustrating my old i5 laptop can play music with no issues, but stronger PC can't :/ I've disabled all drivers energy saving options in device manager (mostly USB and LAN drivers).įrom what I read, many Ryzen users (and B550/X570 platforms) experience this issue as well, but I didn't find any solution for me yet. I've ammended CPU power plan (AMD Ryzen balanced) where minimum CPU state was 100% and lowered it down to 20%, as well as maximum CPU state lowered from 100% to 99% (this is known workaround for CPU fan more friendly behaviour).
Windows is freshly installed, with all newest updates and drivers, just some additional software added (like Avira, Fences, it was installed DeskScapes, but I uninstalled it just for piece of mind = animated backgound might play some role, K-Lite codecs, browsers, Thunderbird etc). Turns out I might suspect even SATA hard drive (it turns off after some time, which is odd as I keep MyDocuments there = non standard path in my system), so before I lose my mind, I prefer to ask you guys at this forum I've tried to crosscheck pops with CPU frequency, but CPU-Z might not give me accurate reading frequency, so some quick freq "ticks" might remain unspotted. I've tried LatencyMon, but it doesn't give me specific interrupt to process latency name, just a latency. I've done many tests, reconfigurations, but it all didn't work - presumably it's hard to trace such kind of issue due to its random nature. For example, I thought it was X-Fi CMSS3D function enabled, or even broken chip/aged capacitor, but the same I've got in my motherboard ALC1200 (?). I suspected few things (common for both platforms), but I gave up. Doesn't matter it's a local WAV, MP3, or internet stream/ingame sound. Some components stayed (like X-Fi), some has gone (like M-Audio 2496 PCI), my detailed current config is in the bottom. Quite strong setup to handle "stupid" sound playing function as I think. So I've purchased B550 motherboard, Ryzen 6c/12t CPU, 16 GB memory and NVMe SSD.
Previous pops looked like buffer underrun (short sample repeat for fraction of second), and appeared randomly - I was thinking it was about my X-Fi CMSS 3D function enabled (mostly during watching movies). The whole thing follows me from some time, so I've decided to change a platform. I'm experiencing huge sound mess as per title.
