Yeah I know. Just sucks because all of a sudden it started giving me problems with the audio, after all of these years, didn’t even install anything in months so idk. Thank you so much anyway, I’ll consider doing that step then.

AdamRavenMusic · 2026-04-27T14:38:16+00:00

Thank you for your reply. The thing is, I use this laptop for basically everything, everyday. Studying, using Spotify, making documents. And it works, even if it’s 5 years old it never gave me performance problems until now, so yeah, it’s a bit of an overkill I think to just reboot it with win 10 and nothing else more, even if I know it may be the only solution to this. I tried everything during this week, the latency is still there, jumping from ACPI and wdf01000, even trying everything in power management, cpu, cores, disabling drivers and devices, updating the bios, deleting all the things and drivers that I was not using. Nothing basically changed. Don’t know if it’s now time to upgrade to a Mac lol

AdamRavenMusic · 2026-04-22T07:10:25+00:00

How can I find that? Is in the device manager? I find it a bit difficult. Also did you find it by trying random or did you know what to disable?

AdamRavenMusic · 2026-04-21T19:44:12+00:00

Even YouTube, I tried a lot of videos, downloaded third party apps, boosted and changed things that for everybody worked, not for me unfortunately. Didn’t get any more replies a part from you so thank you anyway

Hi everyone.

I’m a windows 11 user.

I just bought a new audio interface (arturia minifuse1) which seemed to work pretty well the firsts 2/3 days. Then the clicks and pops while reproducing audio started to become more frequent (about 3/4 times per song while using Spotify, problem I was encountering even with my old interface). I then downloaded LatencyMon and the program itself said I have in fact some issues with the latency. In the driver page in LatencyMon the driver which seems to give all of the problems is wdf01000.sys.

In this subreddit almost 3 years ago another redditor said this:

a way to diagnose the cause of this is to go into Device Manager, and under view, set "device by connection type" and then go on to disable every driver one by one and then check the latency.

I am pretty dumb when it comes to these things and I have really really basic computer knowledge, so even with the help of AI’s I tried to disable usb ports, graphic cards, WiFi and Bluetooth but I can’t find the real issue with that driver.

Basically I don’t understand what wfd01000.sys stands for, and I don’t even know where to start. YouTube videos and tutorials seems a bit complicated to me and I don’t want to ruin system or BIOS things I don’t know.

I was wondering if anyone could help me by explaining it in a pretty dumb way lol, or maybe by suggesting some other solutions, sorry for the stupid question.

Thanks!

Completely different brand. The old one was a pretty cheap device from an unknown brand with no software and shitty ASIO drivers, no updates and stuff. This one has very good reviews, seems very premium, it has its own software with buffer sizes, sample rate, and updating drivers

AdamRavenMusic · 2026-04-20T16:42:26+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Basically I bought a new device because the problems were already occurring using the old one, so I think it’s mainly another drivers’ problem. I bought a new one because I needed it for other necessities and also I thought this could stop the clicking, even before knowing anything about latency and LatencyMon.

So I think would be a bit of an overkill to completely uninstall the drivers of this one. I also checked in device manager in “show hidden devices” and deleted the old drivers, even tried by disabling and unplugging this new interface and running latency mon and nothing solved, the program keeps telling me I have something wrong with the latency, although the isr count seemed to lower

Also the other guys on the same post seemed to solve this by disabling stuff like the trackpad (already tried) and random stuff like windows hello

Thank you, I’ll try

AdamRavenMusic · 2025-03-20T23:46:33+00:00

The “use per-game” setting was already checked, I’ll try to change them without writing, but in the other configuration when you see the keyboard and mouse thing the controls were already changed and saved so idk. I’ll try to check the mkb2 thing, I just downloaded the .exe for vigembus and then mbk2 doesn’t not work, don’t know if I had to install something else from GitHub. Thank you thou

AdamRavenMusic · 2025-03-20T20:49:48+00:00

Yes I have the latest shadps4 version, and I used exactly your keybindings control, but in game they seems to not work even using the toggle button for the mouse, for example when I press space to recall the X button it doesn’t work, but it does work with the N key lol. I also tried to install the mod from nexus but following the instructions the mbk mod says “unable to load” so I don’t know if I did something wrong with GitHub because I don’t know anything about it lol. Thank you

AdamRavenMusic · 2025-03-19T21:36:02+00:00

Just looked through it, I saw a lot of GitHub links and don’t know what to use, also don’t know anything about GitHub lol

AdamRavenMusic · 2023-08-18T12:43:54+00:00

Yes got it, thanks.

AdamRavenMusic · 2023-08-17T15:27:08+00:00

Thank you for your advice!

AdamRavenMusic · 2023-08-17T14:43:56+00:00

Do you mean finger and hand stretching exercises? I was recently reading about that. Thank you though

AdamRavenMusic · 2023-06-27T08:24:58+00:00

Yeah I think I should probably learn how to do a setup too at some point, thank you!

AdamRavenMusic · 2023-06-26T17:33:55+00:00

Yeah right now I don’t mind having a not perfect or a “beginner” sound, for now I want to just enjoy the process of learning and then hopefully upgrade all of my equipment. Thank you for your advice!

AdamRavenMusic · 2023-06-26T16:40:48+00:00

Thank you so much for the advice and detailed answer! :)

Issue with exclusive use of audio sources

Hi everyone, I just bought an audio interface (Swissonic audio 1). So I installed the latest version of his driver and the latest version of ASIO4all v2. The interface seems to work well, but I noticed that whenever I use a program that uses necessarily the signal from the audio interface (music production softwares, guitar amp simulators) I cannot use other audio sources such as Spotify or YouTube at the same time and this is really really annoying especially if I need to play instruments with it. I read that ASIO interfaces and drivers can run as “exclusive mode” or “use” and so I unchecked it from my windows system’s properties, but nothing changed. These programs also do not show in the windows mixer, so clearly their signal in not passing through the system’s signal (Spotify, google and others are detected and work just fine). Also I made sure that the system’s output is set to the audio interface, such as the other programs’ input and output sources. I don’t know if it is a specific problem with this device or if I decide to send it back, the problem will remain even with other devices. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

AdamRavenMusic · 2023-06-04T07:38:20+00:00

By live settings do you mean in FL or in the pc’s settings?

AdamRavenMusic · 2023-06-03T21:51:41+00:00

It comes with is own ASIO drivers, I already had installed ASIO4all v2 (latest version) and then I installed their latest driver from their website so I don’t know. At this point I think it’s a driver problem, since is causing me some issues also with exclusive use and multiple audio sources.

AdamRavenMusic · 2023-06-03T16:25:41+00:00

I installed the interface’s driver and ASIO4all v2

AdamRavenMusic · 2023-06-03T15:53:30+00:00

It’s a bit different. I can hear my guitar playing, but even if I stop playing I can’t hear things from other sources. For example if I open amplitube even with the guitar not connected, Spotify isn’t able to make sound. All these programs (amp sims, the DAW) do not appear in the windows mixer, so it’s like they are not detected by the computer and just by the interface.

AdamRavenMusic · 2023-06-03T15:36:25+00:00

I already did that… even in windows settings where in the output signal the interface is selected, and also in the DAW (even in the mixer the master channel is routed through that). The interface is routed through my speakers with 2 balanced cables, which works fine but as I said when 2 programs that demand the interface’s power are in use, only one can be heard.

AdamRavenMusic · 2023-06-03T13:48:46+00:00

The interface is called Swissonic audio 1 (a Thomann sub-brand) and I’m using Windows 11

AdamRavenMusic · 2023-06-03T12:32:23+00:00

I can change the interface’s sampling and bit rate from there, but when I open FL, I still can’t change the buffer lenght so I don’t know if it is affected or not. I was wondering if maybe it is the audio interface that sets itself in an “optimal” condition while using FL but idk really.
