@Daniel: Driver-Tab of LatencyMon?

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
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 0:00:04 (h:mm:ss) on all processors in the system.

J-cut
tried to copy to clipboard and paste ,,also put a snip up of driver page ,this is just running backgroind services,, dont know if you can help ,, rather you help with the other issues to get them resolved ,,need to get my computer system updated

[Hannes]

Hm, for you it's that storage driver.
I'm currently more concerned bout something causing acpi to go crazy on certain machines.

Is that storage driver Vista-built in?
Maybe your solution really is win7.

[daniel clark]

storage driver ,,i wanna say yes,,only different thing are the video card and maybe the soundblaster sc installed,,hope that answers your question
later to day will try to run Cross with and without the controller connected
dont want my data to side track you

[sfronti]

-Did you tried to raise your latency?
-Did you tried to use U-Mix Control Pro with Ac adapter?

-In latencyMon we need to see the "Processes" tab to check the "Hard pagefaults"

Try using tools while you loading tracks, mixing, enable fx (not both of them at the same time).

Also with latencymon enable it first time, stop it an enable it again. Sometimes it "goes" to reds when starting first time.

Stelios I really dont think that's a pagefile issue.
It's definitely due to the storage driver.

I think Dan either needs to go to Win7 or buy a new harddrive.

[sfronti]

Probably but we need to see this tab too.

[quote="sfronti"]-Did you tried to raise your latency?(up and down/allaround)
-Did you tried to use U-Mix Control Pro with Ac adapter?(no but other have /no change)

-In latencyMon we need to see the "Processes" tab to check the "Hard pagefaults"(Will Do)

Try using tools while you loading tracks, mixing, enable fx (not both of them at the same time).

Also with latencymon enable it first time, stop it an enable it again. Sometimes it "goes" to reds when starting first time.(snip is from thied time running and some backgroubd services shut off )

J-cut ,,,my gamming case is a antec 900 ,,it has a blue led on the top thats some how connected to hard drive ,,can tell when a glitch is about to occur when the light blinks ,shortly after,, tried getting info from antec .no help or responce and the tech at conpany that built comp is clue less also ,,,you are confirmining some of my thought process also

[daniel clark]

here it is
