Hi all,
I have insane DPC latency on my new AM5 rig (X670-E Taichi & 7800X3D) which is causing audio crackling every few seconds. I feel like I've tried everything and it's driving me insane. Things I've tried:
LatencyMon says it has something to do with ACPI.sys or Wdf01000.sys Anyone with similar issues? Mostly seems to happen when watching video's on YouTube or during meeting (Teams, Webex)

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 0:14:19 (h:mm:ss) on all processors.

MEASURED INTERRUPT TO USER PROCESS LATENCIES
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The interrupt to process latency reflects the measured interval that a usermode process needed to respond to a hardware request from the moment the interrupt service routine started execution. This includes the scheduling and execution of a DPC routine, the signaling of an event and the waking up of a usermode thread from an idle wait state in response to that event.
Highest measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 9060,20
Average measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 19,347410
Highest measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 9056,30
Average measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 15,035645

REPORTED HARD PAGEFAULTS
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hard pagefaults are events that get triggered by making use of virtual memory that is not resident in RAM but backed by a memory mapped file on disk. The process of resolving the hard pagefault requires reading in the memory from disk while the process is interrupted and blocked from execution.
NOTE: some processes were hit by hard pagefaults. If these were programs producing audio, they are likely to interrupt the audio stream resulting in dropouts, clicks and pops. Check the Processes tab to see which programs were hit.
Process with highest pagefault count: msmpeng.exe
Total number of hard pagefaults 1029
Hard pagefault count of hardest hit process: 343
Number of processes hit: 20

If your GPU is Nvidia, you must use DP, not HDMI, i had exactly the same problem 6 years ago, and that was the solution, i hope you are using HMDI right now, and switching to DisplayPort will help, keep us posted
(Un)fortunately It's a 7900 XTX. Had the same problem with my previous card (6950 XT).
Interesting, in that case just open a ticket with your GPU manufacturer, if they cant solve it refer to your supplier for solution.
