Cant get rid of latency/crackles, Latency monitor report enclosed
Hi all, apologies for the length, trying to enclose as much info as possible.
I have an external firewire audio interface that I use with music keyboard and various music software.
Having problems with latency. It sounds like a static type crackle, cant seem to get to the root of the cause. Doesn't matter if I'm listening through my monitors or my headphones (both plugged into my Pro24).
It doesn't matter if I set my ASIO buffer low or high, sure if I set it to 2048 there's a noticeable wait between me pressing the key and the sound playing, but whether I set it to 2048 or I set it to just 32. the crackle still keeps appearing
Running Latency monitor shows problems. Please see attached text file and pics
Before I ran it this time, I unplugged my Focusrite Pro24 firewire lead, I went into the BIOS and disabled the firewire port. I exited out of malewarebytes, mouse software etc etc etc. Only thing I left running was Avast, but I disabled all shields until next reboot.
Getting exactly the same result as when the pro24 was plugged in and enabled, and when I left all software running.Sometimes I can play just 2 or 3 notes before it does it, other times it does it after about a min or more. I've been putting up with it for months, but really want to get to the bottom of it.
