smooth graphics only when Discord is running in the background !?!

[Tripack]

Hello
I have an unusual phenomenon.
The game presents suttering only when Discord is not running.
As soon as I launch Discord, everything becomes fluid.

This can be checked during the game after about 30 seconds after starting or stopping Discord.

I tried to see if this was due to certain audio options without success.

If you have any ideas... Thanks

 

without Discord:

Switching on Discord:

 

Later with Discord ON:

then shutting down Discord:

dcs.log

are you using TRACK-IR ? try turning off V-sync ? 

[Tripack]

Yes I use Track-IR.

I get suttering and screen tearing if I don't use V-sync. (I have a 60Hz screen)

Very stable and fluid performance at 60 fps, but Discord must be launched.

That's what I'm trying to understand, why having Discord running allows DCS to be fluid.

I've just tested disabling the Realtek audio drivers, and it's perfectly fluid with or without Discord. (it's cool but I don't have sound anymore)

It's clearly an audio-related problem.

You can uninstall the realtek and just use windows Audio drivers?

My motherboard is an asus Z270-WS with Realtek audio chipset.
I have tried but it does not work.

this is the article i used:

How to Remove Sonic Studio, Nahimic, A-Volute and other Windows Drivers

and

[Motherboard] AI Suite 3/AI Suite 3 Cleaner- Introduction and troubleshooting | Official Support | ASUS Global

and 

also in BIOS you need to turn off to automatically update the ASUS armory crate but it will automatically re-install itself , if you dont turn it off 

and

i also used revo Unistaller to get rid of anything related that was left behind,  then  after a clean boot, i went to windows update ... and "ta dah"

hope that helps
