I have also been experiencing the similar issues as the OP for the last 1.5 weeks. The main difference for me is that the suggested driver still doesn’t fix the issue for me. Also I’m running the following config:
- Aorus B550i Pro Ax Wi-Fi
- AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
- Nvidia 3060ti Founders Edition
- 32GB DDR4 3600Mhz RAM
- 1TB Samsung 980 Pro NVMe M.2 storage.
No amount of reinstallation or Windows 10/11 or driver version remedies the issue unfortunately.
I’m left with awful audio pops, crackles, and latency issues in media, and mouse cursor/keyboard usage. It renders my PC virtually unusable.
I have an identical issue as the user above in terms of audio degradation, which presents itself when the nvidia driver is installed (for my 3060ti card). It seems that the drivers have an nvlddmkm.sys file that exhibits a high DPC which causes these latency/audio degradation issues.
Uninstalling the nvidia driver removes this issue, but then I can’t use the pc with Microsoft Basic Driver Display.
Please can you investigate this issue seriously, as it seems to be quite a prevalent issue affecting users in slightly different ways. Please see the link in OPs post to the nlite website to see how long some users have been pursuing this (over 6+ months). On Reddit and other sites, people have had this issue for over a year, and it remains unresolved!
