[solved] Crackling sound!: What is ASIO buffer 2+3 (async)
Hi experts,
now I bought my new USB2.0 audio interface. But-hearing songs in BUZZ its terrible and I had a all-night long driver session Playing mp3 via VLC is good. Even the directx realtek onboard sound was then worse in buzz!? Tried many buffer size setting, no success.
Today I found out, that I can have stable sound without heavy cracks and jumps by using the 2+3 U(async) setting in the POLAC ASIO. I set also the ASIO settings in the Steinberg interface to low buffer size 96 (for low latencies near 10 msec). 'The time critical priority' is needed probably. Going down to 2+2 or 64 samples some crackles come in. CPU power or RAM is definitely not the problem! 4core, 3.7 GHz, 8GB dual channel. WIN10x64.
But, I don't understand what this 2+3(async) means ?
And there are, even with big buffer size, still some little high crackles, that haven't been there before. Like electro-static crackles of records. How can I get them rid of. Some effects have high inputs, but that has been the same before installing the audio interface.

Re: Crackling sound!: What is ASIO buffer 2+3 (async)
Depends on your computer speed and number of cores set it 2 sync and increase the latency settings in the control panel till the crackling stops, that setting u have on is to increase the latency by factor of 3 12 ms would be 36 4 48 and so on. it's used to get more performance when making tracks that use all your cpu power

Re: Crackling sound!: What is ASIO buffer 2+3 (async)
Hi boombaxx,
thanx for reply.
Yes, I tried this. Unfortunately in some promlemsongs, I cant get rid off the crackles totally even with highest latencies (2048). Some little crackles remain.
In some songs I can go to 128. I handn't this with onboard chip!.
If there is a chance to get it better with an other audio interface? Then I would change it.
My CPU is at 10% only. Buzz CPU monitor says in most cases around 50% (20-65%).
I use often VST instruments and effects.

Re: Crackling sound!: What is ASIO buffer 2+3 (async)
2+3(async) mode does introduce some more latency,in this case the latency is 96 + (3 * 96) = 384 samples. The audio also gets processed in an separate worker thread instead of directly in the asio thread(2(sync) mode). Whats odd is that a big buffer size of 2048 in sync mode is causing crackles and 384 samples in async mode is working properly.Today I found out, that I can have stable sound without heavy cracks and jumps by using the 2+3 U(async) setting in the POLAC ASIO.

Ok, Got some news. I found out, that at least one VSTeffect, the beloved cs12 equalizer is responsible for many artefacts. Especially when several instances are running within the same song. With this, its impossible to increase the sample rate more than 44.1000, because of heavy noise. Maybe that's the reason, why increasing the buffer size is of limited effect.
Now the sound is "quiet good", but about 1-3 times in a song there are still little high crackles.
But, is that normal ??? And: Is there a good chance that with other audio interfaces, all this is not the case. (For example the recommended Roland Rubix22) ???
Or do I have to live with it?

New suspect: (after crackles came back)
USB Coolermaster Gaming Mouse Pro L Software with high poll rate, Maybe the USB WLAN, too.
Put both at the front USB 3.0 now. Deinstalled the Coolermaster Software. Reinstalled (again) the Interface driver - unplugged CM mouse an WLAN stick before. restart ....
Maybe it helps.

Re: Crackling sound!: What is ASIO buffer 2+3 (async)
It didnt help.
I have a free Ableton Lite license. The crackle comes rather rarely, but its also there.
I send it back an look for an USB 3.0 AI.
Thanx for hints!

Re: Crackling sound!: What is ASIO buffer 2+3 (async)
My sweet spot regarding soundcard buffer seems to be 256.In Buzz i always need to set it to 2+1 async (as opposed to ableton) otherwise i also get some crackles.Then i'm able to have the CPU peaking up to 40% (which i avoid if possible) without crackles but only if the cores are (more or less) balanced.Sometimes it happens that one core is processing too much.Clicking on Buzz's "Disable Audio Devices" (F12) one or two times often helps to re-balance the cores.Also a simple "save" seems to work well.
When the cores are balanced Windows 10 does a great job in keeping them balanced while working in a session..
This is my experience with an RME AIO (on different computers,also on a i7-3930K) and a Audient ID4 which behave similar,minus some ms better latency for the RME card.
Oh,and closing the task manager helps too.
Interestingly.For a while i worked on a Asus J1900 Board (to be forced to work with limited resources ) with my Yamaha Ag03 and i could push the CPU by far more than i ever was able to do it on a much stronger i7.
Wifi USB can be a bad thing,there are many reports about audio/asio related problems,some Asus USB-Wifi devices can work though but i avoid Wifi.
My routine when working with Windows and low latency audio is always to start Windows and let it do its start up routine for about 20 minutes (checking the task manager) ,after a while when the CPU is idle i check the maintenance window too,to see if Windows got its job done.So don't touch a mouse or keyboard otherwise Windows will stop maintenance.
I'm currently working on a i7-7700 and i'm using the inbuilt GPU,There are sometimes glitches,at least a heavy CPU strain with certain VST GUI's but this isn't bothering me.
I haven't read much comments on about how much CPU people are able to use with low latency audio but there is a certain sweet spot which i'm able to work.
Btw,before Windows 1803 i needed to manually stop the Superfetch service because i got a huge glitch every 10 minutes or so .Superfetch comes back after a restart but i'm avoiding any tweaking that's why i only stop the service.
With 1803 it seems to be much better but i only want to mention it.
Regarding USB 3 interfaces.You should thoroughly read about them if there are any problems.Usually USB 2 for a small interface is the way to go (at the moment).
I'm also using a gaming mouse, a Logitech G502 without a problem.
One more thing to mention.In Windows 1803 there is a new "ultimate performance mode" power plan which i find helps stabilizing.

All in all,working with low latency isn't simple at all.

Re: Crackling sound!: What is ASIO buffer 2+3 (async)
Hi domtron,
thanx a lot for your detailed post!
Oh man, didn't think, that it is so complicated.
I did try a lot, even deactivating the USB3.0 port and onboard sound in BIOS, deactivating LAN and Wifi etc.
Didnt know, that latency is so depend on background process in days of multicore and SSD.
Perhaps I should buy a new motherboard... its an AsRock b85m-itx, only one PCIe slot. Or a new computer.
by the way, the problems occurred also with my laptop.
I have a look at the Audient ID4...

Re: Crackling sound!: What is ASIO buffer 2+3 (async)
You are welcome
I prefer the 1151 platform (yours is So.1150),I'm also using a itx,Asus H170i-Pro.
There are cases that a interface driver can make huge problems on some boards just because (for example) when the driver is badly written.
The UR12 should have a similar driver to my Yamaha AG03 interface they are written by Yamaha too,try to use the Wasapi driver in Buzz and see if it makes any difference.
Did you work with your on board sound card? Did you use the standard Windows driver? Seems like you had not so much problems with that configuration.

Re: Crackling sound!: What is ASIO buffer 2+3 (async)
Yes, I did use onboard Realtek chip for buzzing and sometimes a Roland A49 keyboard.
I mostly used it with directX sound driver, it is more stable.
Now I'm not sure any more if I had the error with ASIO onboard, too, because perhaps it did not appear because I used ASIO not often and without many instruments/effects.
Now the crackles appear with onboard sound, too. After deinstalling the yamaha driver, it was there for directX driver, too!! I reinstalled the realtek driver (old Relatek original by Asrock delivered) and it was ok again.
Maybe the board is defect?
Buying the 1151 board means a new CPU, right? Xeon E3 1230v3. Thank you Intel.

Re: Crackling sound!: What is ASIO buffer 2+3 (async)
The Xeon E3 1230v3 looks good from the benchmarks.
Right now i don't think another consumer platform like the So.1151 makes a big difference,maybe a i7-8700(k) but that's greater investment because you need DDR 4 RAM too.If you have any problems with low CPU consumption and moderate latency then maybe the board isn't up to the task but must not be defective.
So for now,my first steps would be.
Create the ultimate power plan in Windows 10,set the CPU to the default clock (min-max 3300 mhz) in there.
Turn of USB energy saving in the power plan.
Plug out and turn off Wifi.
Be sure that there are no Windows tweaks.
Do not use any USB Hub and connect only the important parts like mouse and keyboard directly.
Manually enable the power plan if you work in a DAW,it should switch back to the standard saving power plan automatically when you leave the DAW,which is a good thing.
If this doesn't help try a clean install (and try to only use the automatically delivered Windows 10 drivers for your board) or buy a So.1150 Asus board.

Re: Crackling sound!: What is ASIO buffer 2+3 (async)
Hi Domtron!
I unboxed the retour.
How is this? !
I followed your hint and made a high performance energyplan. CPU now is at 3.6-3.7 GHz constantly.
And... it's much better. I can not believe it!
So why, 10 percent CPU usage in buzz and I had glitches because of the speed step technology?! dam it, that's crab!
Wifi is no problem by the way.
I probably keep the audio interface now. The DAC is not the best but ok. Or do you know a better one for max ca. 120,- Euros? Headphone sound is most important.
Thanx so much !
PS: I do not understand the automatic switch in standard energy plan after closing the DAW? How does it work (have still Win 1709)?

Re: Crackling sound!: What is ASIO buffer 2+3 (async)
Glad it worked
Some DAW's (eg. FL Studio) automatically enable the (standard) high performance plan when starting up.Buzz is not.
If you close Buzz with your custom power plan enabled,the plan should switch to the balanced plan automatically,you can see it in the power options in Windows.
That's because it enable the energy saving mode,throttle the CPU and draw less power.
If not, you can enable the balanced plan manually.
I'm using a Audient ID4 interface atm.

I have a focusrite very good sound quality only thing i don't like is that it does not have an adat out. Although the head phone output can be used for that

addition:
I have now good results with moderate energy plan, too, by deactivating a mass of windows services - according to this list (sorry german only)
https://www.netzwelt.de/pc-beschleunige ... ernen.html
EDIT:
here is the cmd code
start it with admin rights.
Windows 10x64 1709

Re: [solved] Crackling sound!: What is ASIO buffer 2+3 (async)
Just a reminder before possibly turning your power plan to higher consumption or so :
For example, if you try to load an old bmx with multiple machines in it, try to isolate the machine you are interested in, erase all the other ones and save as a new name.
Then try to see if the problem persists.
Sometimes a single other machine can conflict enough to provide huge perf hits hence tons of cracks..
This sounds obvious, but I started to wonder for example why Ableton Live was not cracking at all whereas Buzz was doing so.
In the Ableton Live's blank file, I was only loading and testing their own MIDI instruments and not any VST plugin.
Some VSTs are unfortunately eating too much resources depending various computer hard or soft setups (so should eat as much- if not more- under other softs like Live as well btw)... But when your workspace is empty, there you know. Latency is always awesome when nothing get in the way, specially nowadays with that much powerful gears of ours. In other words, if things crack, you are eating way more resources as you are supposed to... unless you need to run a very very big orchestra.
Find your sweet spot with only one inst at a time and keep profiling so you can get when you are abnormally loosing too much processing budget.
Often like if a single newly added machine ruins 200% of your budget whereas you added tons before that weren't. Profile, profile, profile.
If a machine appear to steal a lot more than expected, try to see if it is guilty alone or if it is possibly conflicting with another one.

Re: [solved] Crackling sound!: What is ASIO buffer 2+3 (async)
Thanks (ok) for your comment. Yes, an probably underestimated point, machine interaction.
I am used now to start BUZZ automatically with high power plan, then jumps back to balanced power plan after closing buzz, automatically, too. So I don't have to care too much about crackling any more. Some problematic vsts are still there, but I don't have an alternative for it.

Hi HerrFornit,
Thanks for your message.
Yeah it is always sad when specific machines that we appreciate are not running as expected.
Have you for example tried to use any other software to load your problematic VSTs ? This could tell you at least if the loader itself has a problem with the plugin... I suppose your are using Polac's. If the problem do not show up as well in other softs then the loader is perhaps having problems rather than the plugin itself.
That's just by curiosity, anyways you are right if everything works the way you want, no need to loose more time and happy buzzing ! Better using your time for writing sounds rather than writing / debugging plugins, haha !

Re: [solved] Crackling sound!: What is ASIO buffer 2+3 (async)
yeah, can confirm. I use polac's incredible and still supported vst loader. Well, anywhere on my drive there is a free Abelton live and Cubase LE version. So theoretically I could test some vsts. But you know, the strength of bozz (and weakness at the same time) is the sparse GUI, so have the orientation all the times. ( on the other hand many 'secret' features).
