RE: Devoting an entire core to audio

Windows may prevent you from making changes to certain core processes. Whether total isolation of audio processes is achievable or desirable is a moot point and my own experience has been that a 'clean' audio computer and the assignment of player priority are rather important as well.

Adding software to 'realign' processes and priorities doesn't necessarily improve SQ. For one, you are adding software and processes to 'reduce' the influences of such. For another, you are 'fixing' your audio drivers to use a certain fixed set such as MCSS, WASAPI, and perhaps buffers to another person's 'optimal' perceptions in their own systems. I reckon that you should organise your own. For me, using KS and defeating all uneeded windows audio processes in a super slim and clean computer system powered by an excellent power supply works better than most.

Finally, there is the issue of cpu power in a single core for all the audio processes you want to run, and the power of the other cores to run other required processes for your system. With a low power cpu, this may actually cause interruptions to your audio.

The whole thing is very complex and trial and error.
