DPC Latency Checker

DPC Latency Checker

Been having a few niggles with my sound at the minute, and the issue seems to be something causing the DPC Latency on my laptop to spike every 6 seconds.

I’ve messed about with the Device Manager in an attempt to sort the problem with little success, using the tried and tested method of ‘randomly disabling drivers’ with little success, and I was wondering if anyone could give me a clue as to which driver might be causing the problem …?

hi most likely it ll be due to your wifi refreshing for networks if its constant with the time.
make sure u disable your wifi or bluetooth card or any device thats not needed for the use with traktor.

Seems to be the classic APCI problem that a lot of laptops have … now I know, I just need to turn it off, and we should be peachy.

(simple test for people in the future, plug your laptop in, run DPC checker, the pull the battery out - all of a sudden the spike goes away …)

If you have a dell studio your buggered I had one a while back they are known for this in that case it was a dodgey firewire chip on the motherboard on the whole range :eek:

I took that back sharpish !!

Nah, it’s a Lenovo 3000 N500 - I’ve just got to disable the APCI in the Device Manager and the spike disappear.

i managed to fix mine with a BIOS update
