Audio Stuttering / High Latency

Post by DJ äqualibrium » Fri Nov 25, 2011 6:24 am

Hello!

I will try to make this as simple as possible but at the same time include the most detail.

So I have just built a new computer with the following specifications:


CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Processor (6 CPUs), ~3.3GHz
Motherboard:GIGABYTE 990FX-UD3
RAM:GSkill 16gb DDR3 1333
Hard Drive1: 64gb Samsung SSD
Hard Drive2: 2TB WD GReen
Hard Drive 3: 150gb WD Raptor
Hard Drive 4: WD 500gb Black
GPU: XFX GTX 260
GPU 2: Xfx GTX 260
Case:NZXT Phantom white
PSU:Corsair Enthusiast Series 850 watt
Optical Drive:Asus Internal 24x CD/DVD Drive
Moniter: Acer 27 LED
Audio Monitors: 2X Yamaha HS80M
Audio Interface: Tc Dekstop Konnekt 6

So when I am working on a track and I simply have 2 MIDI tracks playing with Sylenth 1 and a kick, the audio engine can read up to 60% use. I don't know if I am extremely naive, but I feel as with my current computer specifications, I shouldn't be running into this problem?

Using the standard ASIO drivers from the TC electronic website.

Audio even cuts out often when I am playing a game such as skyrim. I hope I have not been too vague and any help would be appreciated! Please let me know if I should include screenshots or any other information.

I purchased the audio interface used, but to me, it appeared to be in excellent condition. I don't know if this could be a problem?

I also hate it when people post their DXDIAG files right in the post so unless it is necessary, I will hold off until posting that.

Alles Gute!
Luke

Thanks!

Ran a latency checker to make sure that wasn't the problem:
