How long should LatencyMon run?
Guidelines say that they should not spend more than 100 µs of execution time however this is often not reached due to hardware factors beyond the control of the driver developer. If execution time gets too high, the audio program may be unable to deliver audio buffers to the hardware in a timely manner.
Who makes LatencyMon?
If you are running Windows 7 or higher, then we recommend using LatencyMon by Resplendence. This latency monitoring software will tell you if there is a DPC latency issue, and it will also tell you which driver or drivers are causing the latency.
What is DPC count?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. A Deferred Procedure Call (DPC) is a Microsoft Windows operating system mechanism which allows high-priority tasks (e.g. an interrupt handler) to defer required but lower-priority tasks for later execution.
What is LatencyMon used for?
LatencyMon is a free-for-home use software program for Microsoft Windows devices that monitors the latency of the system when run to point out issues and assess the system’s real-time audio and other latency-depending performance. Latency issues can impact the experience that you have when working on a computer.
What does latency mean?
Latency is the time it takes for data to be transferred between its original source and its destination, measured in milliseconds. Internet latency and network latency affect satellite internet connections, cable internet connections, as well as some WiFi connections.
Is 15 ms latency good?
Latency is measured in milliseconds (ms) and your service provider will generally have an SLA that outlines what they consider “heightened latency.” Best-effort providers will typically say anything under 15ms is considered normal, whereas services backed by an SLA will usually have a reported latency under 5ms.
Whats a good latency speed?
Typically, anything at 100ms is acceptable for gaming. However, the 20ms to 40ms range is considered optimal. So simply put, low latency is good for online gamers while high latency can present obstacles.
