Have you tried PCI Latency Timer at 0? I have great results with it.

This flies in the face of cics recommendation to set it at max of 128. Do you have a fully optimized cmp^2 setup?
Yes I do.
Do you have a juli@ sound card? Where do you set your buffer in cplay settings? Do you run 192 with src? Just trying to see if your parameters are similar/different from mine.
No, I don't have juli@, I have Cantatis Overture 192. I've recently flashed it with JULI@'s firmware and tried native ESI drivers. I didn't like it at all - artificial, clinical whatever, it just didn't sound like music to me. Back to VIA 5.20 drivers and cantatis overture FW. If you have a minute, try those VIA drivers (5.20 version only). They're compatible with every Envy24HT-based sound card. I'm curious about your remarks...
Since I use I2S to my Buf32s I don't use drivers. But I do damp my I2S lines with 22 Ohm resistors. I do want to hear about your cplay parameters because if you are similar to mine (192/src 145/tiny buffer) I may try different pci latency levels.
Unfortunatelly I don't use cPlay, but XXHighEnd with Kernel Streaming adaptive mode and quad arc prediction upsamling to 176 or 192kHz
Then your system is not, by definition, a cmp^2 system. Cmp^2 implies a cmp shell fully optimized, and cplay playback. Nevertheless did you try 128 also for pci latency?
OK, my system is not cmp^2 by definition, you right, at least not on a hardware site. But I've done all system optms and underclocked/undervolted as much as possible. I've tried 128 pci latency, but it produces cracks in my setup. There is no rule for optimal PCI Latency value. Not for different PC setups.
Greets,

Not trying to debate or argue with you just trying to understand your baseline.
