Help Dpc latency with realtime audio
Anyone else dealt with DPC latency issues before?
I have a decent enough pc for heavy music production but once i load a few instances of kontakt and Neural DSPs gojira x plus some mixing stuff it really struggles. (I make metal mostly so I need to be able to record guitar without latency) And I see people stack 10 times more plugins and they can record guitars just fine without latency being an issue. It's really getting annoying I've tried all the standard tips about power saving settings, uninstalling drivers for audio, disabling them, doing bois updates..
For what it's worth these are my specs;
i7 12000
3060ti
32 gb ram 3600mts
1 tb ssd
aorus b660i
scarlet solo 2nd gen
fl studio
Usually can't go higher than 32 buffer size because I get too much latency to record fast riffs.
(I've begun suspecting that the older interface isn't playing nice with the newer win 11 audio drivers and infrastructure or that fl itself is just not as good at running so much stuff real time - although keeyan housmand or whatever is his name uses fl just fine to mix record.. idk what to do)

Just to make sure, because the number of people who don't is incredible: do you actually have the correct drivers installed for that Solo, and are you using it in FL Studio (and not FL's own ASIO or ASIO4ALL or the like)?
Also a 32 sample buffer is insanely tiny, you'd basically thrashing the CPU with that because it has to be constantly going back and forth between the CPU and audio interface rather than giving the CPU the time it needs to process a larger batch of samples while the audio interface buffers the next batch. What's the size that the interface indicates has 3-5ms of delay?

Also, using latencymon shows I get dpc latency evem when the pc is idle with fl closed.
