Pathfinder Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 (edited) So I finally made the leap, was win 10 Pro, now win 11 Pro. So I had to raise the playback buffer....was 256 without issues but had to go to 512-still a little weird. Is this normal behavior? Thanks Edited August 17 by Pathfinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOK Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 When I switched to Win11, I battled my "new" machine for months with bios tweaks. Then I realized I had forgot to disable core parking - which cured the remainder of my latency problems. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsinger Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 I'm pretty sure you need to re-optimize your pc for audio when updating between windows versions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amberwolf Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 It's possible that extreme gaming optimizations may apply to an audio system. Back when I had to start using Win10 for one of my systems, I found Black Viper's Windows 10 Service Configuration pages to help quite a lot, without breaking anything. (I used the most extreme configuration that still allowed internet access). I'd guess they have Win11 info by now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol_Jonesey Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 I'm pretty sure that, "these days", the amount of tweaks you need to do are pretty minimal compared to the dark ages of Windows XP & prior. Turning off core parking as noted above is the biggest one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Oakes Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 ……. Turn USB sleepstate to never, turn off Windows sounds are also good ones to do. J 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a lot of them apply to W11 J 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
