High DPC Latency

[Josue Torres]

Here it is! general4.rar - Google Drive Test 4, Watching a youtube video from microsoft edge with high latency reports from latencymon but no audio issues.

 

[cwsink]

Thank you for the new trace. The ISR durations, while not great from a recommended amount of time spent running point of view, are extremely flat. No spikes until the end but I think that was probably a side effect of the processing necessary when a trace is stopped. They are not supposed to go above 1 percent of the CPU processing but they were steadily between 1 and 2 percent. The DPC's actually look very good; never going above 6 percent which is the recommendation.

Does the computer seem to perform better than with the G210?

 

[Josue Torres]

Alright so Edge doesn't trigger the issue? And yes, games run better with new graphics card.

 

[cwsink]

The GT710 might have hardware decoder functionality that Edge makes better use of than does Chrome. You can open Task Manager and look at the GPU graph on the Performance tab to see which is using the video decoder engine on the GPU and how much it might be getting used.

This is a screenshot while watching a youtube video on chrome.

This is a screenshot while watching the same youtube video on Edge.

 

[cwsink]

The screenshots suggest Chrome isn't using the GPU's hardware decoder while Edge is using it. If you do search for "chrome enable hardware acceleration" you should find pages explaining how to toggle it on and off in Chrome - assuming Chrome can actually use a GT710's video decoder hardware. Chrome has a reputation for being a memory hog but I'd still try enabling it. It shouldn't make it worse, anyway.

 

[Josue Torres]

"Hardware acceleration when available" was enabled in Chrome advanced settings, but it was not on chrome://flags "Override software rendering list", so I enabled it and relaunched chrome but it is still having audio issues. And I don't see the video decode being used in task manage by the GPU

 

[Josue Torres]

I don't know if this helps.

Hmmm... well, it might be worth trying to force Chrome to use software rendering. When you uninstalled the Nvidia drivers and used the basic Microsoft VGA driver there were no audio problems so maybe Chrome has trouble figuring out how to properly use the video decoder on the GT710. It does look like it's using the GPU but the 3D engine instead of the video decoder. Software rendering will likely cause the CPU to get pegged to 100 percent usage, though.

 

[Josue Torres]

Is my CPU probably bottlenecking my GPU somehow? I don't know if this has anything to do but it just crossed my mind.

 

[cwsink]

I think it's safe to say your CPU would be the bottleneck generally but if Edge can play videos without causing audio glitches I would expect Chrome to be able to do so as well. I'd be focused on trying to find out if Chrome can be made to use the GPU's video decoder like Edge is and/or disabling Chrome extensions to see if they are causing performance problems.

 

[Josue Torres]

I can't seem to find anything else rather than activating the options I already activated. But making google chrome work fine wouldn't explain what is causing the audio glitches on spotify and the latency of dxgkrnl.sys.

 

[cwsink]

Do you get audio glitches when only running Spotify or do you need to be running other programs to trigger it?

 

[cwsink]

I won't be available for a few hours but if you could get a trace of the system having audio glitches with the minimal number of processes running I'll have a look later.​

 

[Josue Torres]

Here it is! I'm really sorry for the inactivity, was quite busy!

I'm not sure I'm understanding your issue or perhaps I'm not communicating well. The latest trace shows Chrome running and it's using around 30 percent of the computer's CPU processing. For some reason, with the GT 710, Chrome is triggering graphics interrupts that are taking a very long time; almost 6 percent of the core on which the interrupt service routines are running. That's well above the 1 percent maximum they should take. When an ISR is running nothing else can run on that core (unless it's interrupted by an even higher priority interrupt) but no user code will be scheduled until it finishes and the CPU's IRQL drops to 0. That won't happen until pending ISRs and DPCs are finished. Any user threads playing audio will have to wait to be scheduled onto the CPU and if they have to wait longer than 5 milliseconds that could generate an audible audio glitch. Meaning Spotify, Chrome, Groove, etc. - any user process playing audio will have noticeable audio problems in that situation.

Edge is using around 1.19 percent when triggering graphics interrupts in the trace you provided earlier. That's not great but is apparently a short enough time to prevent user programs from having to wait 5 milliseconds so audio glitches won't be noticeable in user processes (Spotify, Chrome, Groove, etc.) I'm guessing that's because Edge seems to be able to use hardware video decoding. Now, I don't know what Chrome is doing in the traces you've provided but I've been assuming playing video. So what I'm hoping to see is a trace captured while audio glitches were occurring but not while using Chrome. My impression so far is that Chrome is hogging CPU resources for some reason while playing video. I'm getting the impression you can easily create audio glitches running Spotify but is that only while using Chrome?

 

[Josue Torres]

I guess Chrome no using the video decoder from the GPU is another problem.
Spotify alone doesn't cause any issue since I'm pretty sure it has a hardware acceleration feature. But if I'm listening music and scroll up and down in the processes tab in the Task manager, the audio glitches will happen, they will also happen if I scroll up and down in the Windows Explorer (For example scrolling inside the Program Files Folder). Here is a trace from me doing both things I just said.

That's causing your interrupt service routine processing time to skyrocket for quite a few drivers. If you open Task Manager and watch the System interrupts process, how high does the CPU usage percentage for System interrupts go while you're triggering audio glitches in File Explorer?

It's fairly obvious the new GPU is causing very odd behavior and that it's mainly causing interrupt service routine processing time issues suggests to me either the card is defective or the new drivers for the GPU are trying to do much more in the ISRs than the older drivers do. I suppose to make sure we're comparing apples to apples to the extent possible we could try using the new GPU but with the same drivers used for the older GPU. Can you try uninstalling the latest drivers and installing the 342.01 drivers instead? Or is that something you've already tried?

 

[Josue Torres]

So I checked for the System Interrupts process and while triggering the audio glitches it went from 0.5% to a maximum of 13.7%. And while watching youtube videos it went up to around 8.5%. Is that possible? Aren't drivers different between products? I'm going to try and find those drivers I guess.

 

[cwsink]

Drivers run in kernel mode and they all have access to everything, believe it or not. They all have to follow very explicit rules and a single bug in driver code can cause all sorts of problems for a system. The thing is, I'm not sure there's a bug in a "code logic error" sense. The most consistent thing I see is dxgkrnl.sys interrupts taking much longer than they should; not always but really it should NEVER happen. So, say an interrupt service routine is called for a thread on core 0 to process a USB interrupt but before it can finish servicing that interrupt a higher priority interrupt from the GPU takes over core 0 but something (hardware fault or ISR tries to do too much work) hangs that core for a long time. The GPU interrupt AND the USB interrupt are stuck for at least that period of time. They can't be scheduled to another core after they've already been scheduled for core 0.

That will make the USB driver/device look like the possible problem as well as the GPU. However, none of this happens with the older GPU which suggests it's a problem with the new GPU. Is it a GPU hardware fault or the GPU driver ISR code trying to do too much? I don't know, which is why I'd want to try the older driver.

System interrupts really shouldn't go above 1 percent unless the system is extremely busy. Even then I'd be be worried about it taking more than 4 or 5 percent. It very much suggests a hardware problem.
