RE: Try these Audio Registry Changes in Windows

Posted by SBGK on January 4, 2017 at 04:52:07:
requires that the playback software tells MMCSS that it is audio or proaudio, usually pro audio is for 96 khz and above playback. Think background=true is preferable - "Indicates whether this is a background task (no user interface). The threads of a background task do not change because of a change in window focus.". Can also set background priority. GPU priority is not used so any difference heard with that is false. For priority - "For tasks with a Scheduling Category of High, this value is always treated as 2.". The clock rate 2710 is 10ms, MS audio engine tries to do thinks in 10ms chunks, so presumably the player buffer sizes should also be 10ms.

Could also try disabling MMCSS for a more relaxed sound.
