Hi!
The problem is the same regardless of application being used and regardless of what Buffer size and Sample Rate I use.
On top of that the problem goes extreme and when that happens I can hear a delayed and distorted copy of the sound being played around.
This is when using my Scarlett 6i6 interface. When using an Apollo 16 in my studio the crackles are even more frequent but tends to get better and better the more I raise the Sample Rate although it never disappears completely.
Here are my latest measurements:
LatencyMon - Main
LatencyMon - Drivers
DPC Latency Checker (v1.4.0)
OS: Windows 10 Home 22H2 (64bit)
Audio interface: Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 (1st gen), Apollo 16 (Not entirely sure exactly what kind, if there are several as it's in my studio which I can't access right now)
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10875H CPU @ 2.30GHz 2.30 GHz
Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce RTX 2070
RAM: 32GB
I'm at a complete loss here and don't know what else to do! Any help would be most appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
The problem
I have frequent problems with audio crackles, stutters and distortion.The problem is the same regardless of application being used and regardless of what Buffer size and Sample Rate I use.

My own analysis
I have done a lot of googling and I think the problem is related to DPC Latency which lead me to measure the DSP latency which constantly hovers around 1000-2000 μs. The highest peaks (at my last measurement) was at 32 000 μs which is when the problem goes extreme (This happens around once an hour, usually when playing video games and not while I'm using music software and produce music).Here are my latest measurements:

What I've tried so far
This has been going on for a while and I've tried a lot of different things, some of which I can't remember right now but here are the things I do remember:- Optimized Power Settings
- Reinstalled pretty much all drivers I can think of. Including chipset and all motherboard-related drivers.
- Disabling all devices (which were possible to disable) in the device manager, one at a time, while measuring the DSP Latency and seeing if it has any result (it didn't).
- Starting the computer without any 3rd party services running (I disabled them in System Configuration and only left the windows services enabled.
