DPC Latency Checker is flying above 14000 with Mixxx

[gontie]

I have some dell laptops and with most DJ softwares like Mixvibes and Traktor they work like a charm.

The DPC latency checker show some peaks about 2000-3000 but nothing higher.

I think these software are not using the Video card ressources which doesn't seems the case of Mixxx.

To confirm this idea, i have disabled the Waveform in Mixxx and the results are indeed good. The DPC latency Checker works normal as on other DJ softwares.

So i think it could be important to have the possibility that the waveform are displayed and calculated by the CPU, not the GPU.

This could lower on many laptops the DPC latency Checker results.

What graphics card and driver do you have installed?

In this case, it is a Dell Latitude E6400 et and latitude D630.

Both have a Nvidia Graphic card with the latest drivers.

I can tell you more from home but i've downloaded the latest one from the dell site.

We should investigate but I think this is a natural outcome of adding more CPU usage to Mixxx.
