Well, I'm glad you managed to fix the problem.
I've spent 2 weeks tweaking Windows to 'fix' my clicks-n-pops problem.
In the end, it was not the Windows configuration and also not the shared USB IRQ's (which I cannot avoid in a HP XW4600 workstation), but it was the AMD ATI Radeon video card which caused the real problems. I've replaced the ATI/AMD videocard with a Nvidia GeForce FX3500 and instantly all the clicks-n-pops problems were gone. It was not a software issue, but a hardware issue.
So, my advise: if you run into troubles regarding clicks-n-pops...
Stay away from AMD/ATI video cards !
i second that! Thank you vascomusic:D
did try all the stuff your wet dreams are basically made of...From DPC spike tool to process-hacker via latencymon and SDI-Driver-Updater trough Resource-Monitor to no avail...and a lot of reading here and there of course.
Scope 5.1 & Modular 4 alone ran fine, don´t get me wrong here-it was when using Cubase 10 pops and crackle appeared to the point of no more pun twisty knobs and squelchy sounds... Especially, but not only, when powering my Non-Usb-Compliant CME-UF 7 MasterKeyboard out of convenience via USB, Latencymon complained a lot as you could imagine. Memo to myself: Avoid powering old crap like that from your DAW.
almost gave up on this machine already tbh...
my specs:
Dell t4300, Q6600 3Ghz Bsel Mod, 6GB Ram,256 GB Samsung SSD, Corsair 800w Power Supply
Dual Eizo 22"inchers,Win 7 64bit, BCR-2000,BCF-2000, CME-UF7 (64 bit win 7-driver pppleeaasse;-)
3X PCI-Cards: Pulsar+Luna+Electra
Radeon HD 5750 1gb (now gone tho hell
)
Upon swapping the ATI-Radeon card for an old Geforce 285, pops and clicks went almost completely away!!!
I mean we are talking Night and Day here, gentlemen.
On the same day picking up the Nvidia card, a classified popped up: Asus h87-pro,3x PCi
, 16G Corsair memory, I5-4570. could not resist.
this goes to all the artists and performers out there with an ATI-Radeon Card in their System: Get an el-cheapo Nvidia Card from your local classifieds and give this a try.
If in your special case it did not work out-at least you saved an Nvidia card from going to e-waste. remove the Fan and Cooler, pin the PCB to your wall-it actually does look somewhat decent^^
thank you vascomusic for posting the old card-swap trick here...
PS.: just stumbled upon this gearslutz-thread where the Driver-Perfomance-Settings made a difference as well-worth a shot imho:
