However, I have disabled a few things in the Start Up in Task Manager. I’ll take another sweep thru Task Manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to deal with this. You can’t run any DAW when that is red. It may or may not be at the root of the problem but overall to use a computer for music it needs to run clean an green. I believe you said this is a Dell laptop. If it is this could be issues in the BIOS as I have personal experience about 8 years ago with similar issues. Dell wouldn’t deal with it. We sent it back and they said it wasn’t broken? $1,500 no good for audio. Still have it and it’s fine for all else. Bought a $600 Acer that never had issues with Audio once bloat ware was removed. Ugh! Looks like I have some work cut out for me to see if I can get this thing running “Clean and Green”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it is a "gaming" computer, there may be a device built in that uses a driver tuned to gaming. Another possibility is that your anti-malware software has provided some alternate or stacked drivers, e.g. for keyboard and mouse (mine does), though wdf01000.sys is unlikely from anti-malware software. So mainly have a look at the driver stack for keyboard and mouse. Control panel -> device manager -> Keyboards (or) Mice and other pointing devices (double click or right click) -> properties -> Driver -> Driver Details and see if wdf01000.sys is there. Thanks, I’ll give this a try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mettelus Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Eight years later and I still haven't consolidated this post from the old forums, unfortunely you have to hit refresh a few times to open old posts/links from there. Another aspect that comes to mind is to shut off "Automatic Network Discovery" since that pings every 3-4 seconds and you don't want your PC trying to connect to everything it can find anyway. Any "automatic" function on a PC needs to be looked at if you want to keep latency down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’eve taken a look thru Keyboards, Mice, Display Adaptors, Human Interface Devices, Network Adaptors. I don’t see where Wdf01000.sys is used. Reducing the Internal Display from 120.21 Hz to 60.21 Hz and turning off the Gaming audio and video captures seems to have reduced the LatencyMon parameters.

Chris-J Posted March 8, 2023 Author Share Posted March 8, 2023 I’ve disabled the Ethernet ports (I don’t use them), I’ve tuned a few things in Windows Sound Settings that I seemed to a have missed: turned OFF exclusive mode in Recording and turned off sound enhancement in Recording mode. I turned OFF exclusive in Playback several days ago. I’m running in Airplane Mode, which is supposed to stop the Wi-Fi system from seeking out local Wi-Fi networks. I moved the Audio Interface to another USB port. I just ran the LatencyMon program for 9 minutes, 23. Highest measured interrupt was 795 uS Highest reported ISR was 330 uS Highest reported DPC runtime was 865 uS Reported hardpage fault count: 1833 Big Thanks to everyone who helped out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn’t that included in Cakewalk By BandLab? it's something i bought a while back in the SONAR days - but many "trial" versions of things often do noises, beeps, or blanking to remind you to buy the license 🙂 of course with the proper attitude and some work, you might combine a bunch of those into modern music 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of a personal quirk of mine, I use the PC2A leveler compressor and the EQ in PC quite a bit, but I rarely use the other compressors in the PC.
