In Reply to: Try these Audio Registry Changes in Windows posted by fmak on January 3, 2017 at 11:38:56:
I experimented with these MMCSS settings when I still used a WEISS AFI1 on a windows PC.
Changing these setting when using the Weiss AFI1, I could not hear any audible difference in my setup.May be this was because the Weiss ASIO driver already had activated MMCSS settings too protect and/or too give priority too the audio thread.
From what I understand drivers, recording & mediaproduction software, playback software, etc can set / apply for MMCSS priority.
Sometimes with confusing / conflicting results.
See for instance:

For what is worth:
SBGK's tip for giving the windows audio service it's own process made a tinny (!) little difference (!) in my setup.
May be inmates should try this also.
open a cmd window in admin
type the command below (note space after = sign)
sc config Audiosrv type= own
