    Soo, I've been having these audio popping issues for long now.
    Windows 8.1
    Xonar ST

    Basically latencymon would show high dpc latency (audio and lan driver), and it would spike as well. Additionally I would have super high reported hard pagefault resolution time.
    Now, I've done the following:
    -installed all fresh drivers
    -removed audio card, uninstalled drivers
    -disconnected all unnecessary HDDs and peripherals
    -disabled the windows pagefile
    -bought new RAM (since it was faulty anyway)
    -disabled HPET drivers
    -disabled C1E, CnQ, load line calibration and that crap

    Now I'm at the point where my dpc latency is 100% fine, but I'm still having ridiculously high pagefault resolution times, what could be the issue?

    I've done everything...
    I just switched motherboards and latencymon is still going crazy.
    What could it be tough? Windows 8,CPU or the ssd? I've had similar issues on win 7 and though.
    Any thoughts

    I saw that avatar at head-fi.org .
    Why it bothers you so much if you got rid of original problems?

    Have you installed AMD SATA drivers?

    I don't know what you mean but I haven't figured out it.
    The only thing I've birthed is that every single machine (I've tried 3 different PCs and tested each component to rule out out. All computers show same results in latencymon.
    I think latencymon is not very useful for testing (I also tried win 7).

    Seems my problem is elsewhere, I will do a fresh install of windows and go from there.

    Stop worrying about it. You're not supposed to use the program while other things are running anyway. It's supposed to measure idle latency and nothing more. The pagefault measure is irrelevant and is always caused by poorly written software.
