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 0:03:15 (h:mm:ss) on all processors.
Ok, I did what it suggested. When I start the the game while latencymon already running it kept telling me the same conclusion.. . But If I start the game first, and then latencymon, it tells me all is ok. LOL ..
We will see, I don’t have much faith that something was changed.. I will try after lunch.
Guys, don’t go overboard—don’t install any malware or mess with system hacks. If everything else is working fine and only MSFS is causing issues, you’ll just end up with a broken system, forcing you to wipe your drive and reinstall Windows.
Just to confirm I have been experiencing seemingly random audio stutters today.
The stutters are quite severe and then disappear as I fly away from the affected area.
Deleted the Nvidia audio drivers but the problem continued.
Did you look at the driver with the longest latency graph in latencymon? What did it show?, using latencymon alone won’t fix anything, you need to look at the driver/s with high latency, then look for solutions to the high latency issues caused by the indications in latencymon.
It does involve a little detective work on behalf of the user to fully eradicate issues.
To all with this issue, I have not said that TCP optimizer will fix it for all, I said in an earlier post that latencymon indicated that on MY SYSTEM it was beneficial to install and run it to help with latency issues caused by a certain driver on MY SYSTEM.
I’m not saying that is necessary to do this if not indicated. I just proposed that the fix for me, by using latencymon (as suggested by another forum user) was beneficial to me in helping eradicate the audio issues I was facing after installing 24h2, which were NOT present on my system with 23h2.
I figured that 24h2, along with all it’s many problems and compatibility issues, was not playing nice with certain driver components on my PC. So I gave it a shot as I had nothing to lose.
If anyone has misconstrued what I said previously, then I apologise for any confusion.
This is quite strange to me that others had the problem before the SU1 beta.
I can only speak for myself here, but this sound stuttering only appeared for me since the SU1 beta and I’ve been playing msfs24 since it was released.
So it’s clear to me that it has to have something to do with the beta. And it can’t be due to win11 either. because I use Win10.
Well.. I think is this
Highest DPC routine execution time (µs): 1442.30
Driver with highest DPC routine execution time: dxgkrnl.sys - DirectX Graphics Kernel, Microsoft Corporation
Highest reported total DPC routine time (%): 0.892341
Driver with highest DPC total execution time: dxgkrnl.sys - DirectX Graphics Kernel, Microsoft Corporation
The sound crackling associated with fps drop started yesterday for me. Tried a sim reinstall, DDU, nothing changed. It must be something on servers side.
I’m sorry to break any illusions or dampen enthusiasm, but I have the right to express my opinion, and I find your proposals nonsensical, dangerous, and counterproductive.
The idea that users should deeply analyze and fine-tune their systems just because one game isn’t working properly—while everything else runs fine—is illogical.
System tweaks can introduce issues for many users or even break their setups. Not everyone here is an IT expert.
This issue is not caused by user systems—it’s an MSFS bug. The only real solution is for Microsoft/Asobo to identify and fix it. Encouraging users to “fix” it themselves shifts focus away from the real problem and delays a proper resolution, making this approach counterproductive.
As for your repeated promotion of the same software in a way that resembles marketing, I’ll leave that for the forum managers to decide.
Yes you are entitled to your opinion, shoving it down people’s throats like you are is non sensical just as much, you have no idea what you’re talking about, I merely expressed a solution that worked for me and I wanted to share with others to hopefully help them too, as that is what a lot of us are here for.
If you don’t like my approach then so be it but to say my advice is counterproductive and dangerous is a bit much.
. But If I start the game first, and then latencymon, it tells me all is ok. LOL ..
