MKMooney Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Hi everyone, I've had an interesting problem where opening the windows sound management console (I'm calling it that), SteamVR will start missing frames. This happens even while the GPU and CPU are not under a load at all and no games running. It will happen even if I just change the volume. I have to reboot to get it back to normal and not touch the volume or audio stuff at all. I've noticed system interrupts using 4-6% CPU. I'm thinking that the audio must be reponsible for starting a cascade of interrupts and not letting up. Not sure how to stop it. It's a real headscratcher. Any ideas? Update: I've reinstalled the audio drivers and updated the Motherboard BIOS. Problem continues. Realizing that his may be mostly unrelated to SteamVR and the Vive, but still open to ideas on this. Thanks, Steve Windows 10 Pro Aorus z270 -Gaming 8 I7-7700 Aorus GTX 1080 Extreme OC 32GB Corsair Dominator EVO 960 SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKMooney Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 Wow! Not a single response. Anyway. I'm updating just in case it helps someone else. It turns out that going into windows audio settings: Playback devices properties enhancements disable all enhancements (Even if there are none active) I think on some systems that it may be called something else, like system sound effects or something. So far, so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
