Yes, the software records everything and lists the highest values or peaks so to say. I find i very accurate when tested in a “controlled environment” like playing the same clip over and over again or for the same time back to back.
Here is another example on a different clip were the sound dropouts (sounds like someone is pressing the mute button rapidly on/off randomly) also occured.
I think this peaks are due to the constant throttling of the CPU at least on my device. Even now when writing this post, core 9 is throttling around 7% - 20%. I have read that changing the power state/mode to performance can help to minimize this problem, which I have done, but have not seen any improvement. And yes, depending on the duration and source you monitor, it will eventually record higher peaks because the CPU workload increases, which leads to throttling, that creates higher peak latencies.
Here the link of the test I mentioned. Scroll down to DPC latencies.

Here’s a screenshot of their measurements:
I can’t verify if it’s the one or the other. I’m just reffering to the test and as you can see on their results, the Mind 1 seem to be noticeably better with regards to DPC latencies. And I guess it’s because of the less throttling CPU.
My problem is that these common drivers, especially ntoskrnl.exe is giving me at least one bluescreen everytime i use the device. Most common during booting into windows right before the login window. This wasn’t the case before i started this thread but now it seems to get worse.
Here is a screenshot of the latest .dmp files recorded:
Mind you this is on a fresh w11 install with latest drivers and updates installed.
So I guess it’s a problem of my faulty Mind 2 device? My return window also expired on 15th January.
