Sound Clipping/Skipping

[nchirico]

Hi there,

I somewhat recently put P3D v4.2 on Windows 10. Initially I wasn't having issues, but when I started using some of the more hi fidelity addons (PMDG, etc) I started noticing some sound clipping or skipping. I will start out on the ground and it will be less noticeable, but once I'm in the air, it sounds like the sound is temporarily cutting out and this will happen a couple of times a minute. I use a headset with an onboard DAC and I also still have my drivers that came with my motherboard installed, but they are disabled. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I use a SoundBlaster Audigy SE Sound Card in a desktop PC and Soundblaster Fury headset (USB) without problems.

I can also just use my Logitech speakers (basic $10 ones) connected to my SoundBlaster Audigy SE Sound Card without any problems.

I am using Win7-64 Pro and P3Dv4.3.

Hello.

Have you originally installed Windows 10? Is it an upgrade from Windows 7 etc? Is it DSP version (for self-made machines)?

Hi,

I did not upgrade to Windows 10 from 7. It was a clean install. I have a Sennheiser PC373D that I use with the built in sound card that it comes with.

Just a long shot. In my experience messing about with affinity mask, or switching out cores in task manager can cause malfunction of sound reproduction. My suspicion is that sound modules try to load in preference onto specific cores (in my case core 1) and restricting use of this or other cores causes conflict and hence poor sound playback. I don't touch affinity mask. I use task manager to temporarily deny p3d access to core 0 while it loads up, then switch core 0 back on line before running sim. Sound and visuals (including autogen) run sweet and smooth.

Regards RT.

If you were a BTO, I think that it is best to listen to PC makers there.

Hi,

I haven't touched my affinity mask or anything in my config.
