Studio 1737 DPC Latency

What the HECK is going on???!!!

It's almost May and not response from these people!

My studio 1535 has still not a new bios (latest dec 2008!).
NEVER A DELL AGAIN WITH DOES TERRIBLE AUDIO!

They are garbage.  Get your money back or demand a replacement computer that does not have DPC Latency issues.

They are my reason for being an Mac convert.  Couldn't be happier, and have since bought an imac as well to replace the PC.  Simple and issueless.

My 1737 is working fine with the ACPI workaround but I'm sick of having to do it now.

We need a fix to this problem Dell!

I have a nearly new Inspiron 1750 which has the same latency problem, I have the updated A06 bios, but it still happens.

The laptop came with Windows 7 x64 installed (I created a dualboot with a music partition), and a Broadcom WLan chipset. Is there any improvement with this model ?

Does anyone know if this latency problem  has been fixed yet as I have a studio 1735 which is useless to me as a tool for audio creation due toit.

I would be prepared to upgrade to the 1749 (I guess that is the latest ) with touch screen  if the audio stuttering is fixed.

Does anyone know if this is the case as I don't want to waste another couple of grand almost.

Thanks

I'm having the same DPC latency issues.

I have a Studio 1555 with the following specs:

Studio 1555 : Intel Core 2 Duo Processor P8600(2.40GHz, 1066MHz, 3MB)
4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 Internal Memory
500 GB SERIAL ATA (5400RPM) Hard Disk
512 MB ATI MOBILITY RADEON HD4570
Intel Wireless Card Label - Core 2 Duo
Intel WiFi Link 5100 (802.11 a/b/g/n 1X2) 1/2 MiniCard European
Europe Dell Bluetooth 370 Card
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

The model number is PP39L

See below my DPC Latency chart:

Like most people here I want to use my Studio 15 to run Traktor Scratch Pro. The latency tests however are based on stand-alone performance by the Studio 15, no additional devices were connected to the laptop.

I recently installed the newest version of the BIOS for the 1555 (A11 released 14-4-2010) but to no avail, the DPC latency issues remain.

I was surprised to find that the Studio series of all Dell laptops have audio issues, since they are advertised as multimedia savvy laptops. As I have been reading a lot the last couple of days around the internet it baffles me that Dell to this day has not come forward with a solution to these persistent problems a vast number of its customers is experiencing. As mentioned on numerous occasions it's hard to swallow for Dell customers that their laptop is not delivering on one of its key selling points: multimedia experience.

I hope the Dell team could give me and all others some support how to finally tackle this nagging issue once and for all so we can finally enjoy our Dell laptops to their full potential. I was very satisfied with my laptop until now, but then I faced this latency issue when I started to use it with Traktor Scratch Pro.

My 1737 is working fine with the ACPI workaround but I'm sick of having to do it now. We need a fix to this problem Dell!

Was that with a XP 32 install ?

I tried suspending both ACPI threads in W7 64, but it made no difference

Yeah, I'm using a W7 64 and suspending ACPI makes very little difference. I wish Dell could do something about this. I've bought 2 Dell Laptops since 2007. This will definitely be my last. I'm currently saving to get a new system. My sister is about to get a new computer, and I'm going to have to steer her clear of Dell. So sad...

here is my you tube video of the dropouts using my numark and my dell 1330 xps

service# DCFT1G1

DELL XPS 1330

i have install the drivers 3 times, i reinstall vista from scratch,i have follow seratos suggestion for fixing it , nothing

look at this   http://www.serato.com/faq/itch/#5681 am not blaming dell for this issue at all , but i can spend money on a laptop thats not gonna do what i need.

l if you can see if this issue wont be a  issue with a dell i7 xps laptop , am buying one,

am using a numark ns7fx , with  serato icth, www.numark.com  www.serato.com

if you guys need more specs of my lap top just ask. terry what ever if you can give me is great i been with this issues going on two months.

I can certainly; see your frustration in the video clip. Your YouTube certainly went far in describing the problem.  Have you noticed simular issues watching DVD and videos, listening to normal audio tracks, playing games?  Does the system drop out while not using the Numark? 

If would limit the amount of software running in the background if you have not done so already.  Check the settings of the antivirus other software and utilities running in the background to make sure that they arent interfering with Itch. 

If possible i would make sure that you are using the AC adapter, and go into Windows Power Management settings and configure the system to high performance.  I would also go into device manager (system icon in control panel)  and under unversal serial bus controllers look fand double click each Generic USB hub and click on the power management tab and make sure that "allow windows to turn off this device to save power" is unchecked for each of them.  Basically free up as many resources as you can for Itch to work correclty.
