Sound is choppy, Breaks up?

[Fakum]

Sound is choppy, from within cockpit and external view. A little background, I did not notice this issue until the Hornet was released. I was flying the Harrier up to about a month before Hornet release with no sound issues before I installed the Hornet on release date. I noticed as soon as I did some quick flights in the Hornet, the sound was choppy. It was only until today that i checked the Harrier and A-10 to see if they were the same, and they are. I never had this problem before. I just updated all my drivers just to be sure, and it made no difference. I do have the ability to restore my system back to older setups for testing purposes, but I don’t know what I should check next to trouble shoot this annoyance? Also,,, this is not the Afterburner sound issue, this occurs at any speed. This is in the Open Beta,,,, I did check the Release after yesterdays update,,, both are problematic. DCS Repair did not cure. Thanks for any feedback.

After pounding my head against the wall,,, I ran Process Lasso. I have not used that in quite sometime. Wouldnt you know it, when I run it with my custom config for improving performance for DCS,,, Sound problem goes away! Dont know why, but it does?

Hi Fakum, would you mind sharing your Lasso config? I use it too, and DCS + Oculus work smooth. But if I try running a voicemeeter to mirror LFE to buttkicker, I start hearing random sound gaps/cracks in Rift headphones about once a minute. Even simple passing of stereo signal with no mirroring does this. I got SimShaker for Aviators to circumvent this, but it too sometimes creates cracks... No Hornet (yet) in my setup, but 2.5 must be pushing my PC to the limit (IRQ/USB?).

I dont think I can share the actual config file because it is specific to my PC. I set DCS to run on 2 Physical / 2 Hyper cores 4,5,6 & 7 and everything else I assigned to 0,1,2 & 3.

Ok, thanks. I think I found the sweet-spot for my system. I used Oculus to mirror the sound to ButtKicker and I shared that soundcard with SSA. At PD = 1.5 everything runs smooth now ))
