BBP 0.90.95 skips

[quote author=”X-Hosted”]I noticed that 0.90.95 uses VAC 4.8 and 0.90.77 uses VAC 4.5. But when installing 0.90.95, it also upgrades the VAC. Is there any way of keeping VAC 4.5 and use BBP 0.90.95?[/quote]

I have the Breakaway Pipeline installed with 1 "cable" for BAE, and I just use the regular VAC v4.9.0.1652 for the exact same reason. If your DPC latency gets nicked up at all, there’s a chance it’ll skip with the Breakaway version and here’s why…

If you compare the control panels for each, you’ll notice…

And there-in lies the problem. With the way Breakaway’s Adaptive SRC works, it’s taking care of under & over flows quite gracefully and transparently. VAC is attempting to handle this by just inserting blocks of digital silence, and it’s taking away Breakaway’s chance to do its thing properly. Not good. Leif has known about the problem for some time, and it will be corrected in an upcoming release I’m sure.

I think that the problem is relatively rare, since it’s dependent on the system having high CPU use and/or way-too-high DPC latency spikes, so… But yes, in those cases perhaps you can use that version of VAC I’m using. It will still have the potential issue with Windows 7 & multi-core CPUs that were fixed in the Breakaway version though, but that’s equally rare from what I remember so chances are one or the other is going to work properly for you.

Hmm yep, then it’s most likely a DPC latency issue… or if it’s not then this would be even more interesting. 🙂

Can you try DPC Latency Checker on it? It should work on 2003…

and see how high it spikes after a few minutes of testing.

You’r on the edge…

Find out what makes DPC to be big like this. It must be under 500 always, even lower.

Check network adapters, disable them from Device manager. Disable pipelines … and check DPC again.

I too think those results are too high. Here is mine running on a fairly minimal machine. It does jump up slightly beyond 500 on occasion, but that’s it.
