When I switched from an MSI B450 board to an AsRock B450 my stutters got a little better but are still very much there. Both those are just mid-level but good boards. It seems to happen when there is...

All of the above I guess. Most "audiophile" types go for high priced external DACS, and onboard sound now is so close in perceivable quality to any of the sound cards there's not a lot of point in...

Yeah, I refuse to use anything related to Creative Labs due to crappy products in the past, crappy drivers, and disgusting, litigious, predatory business practices.

...and more info. Since I can't use the Xonar SE analog out, even for my studio headphones, I switched back to my old faithful stand-alone USB headset...and now that is even stuttering when (and only...

Some more info:

Running Windows 10 1809 or newer has a Microsoft default driver v10.0.17763.592 (1607 has none). Using that driver there are no audio dropouts/stutters. Of course there are no...

I've found very little info about this Xonar SE card on the internet, so I'll just list the problems (and solutions) I have run into with it and hopefully I can sort at least some of it out. I am...
