I've noticed the same since my switch to Windows. It can be pretty high at times.
Hello
I am using Rekordbox on my computer without any dropouts. On my laptops (Huawei and Lenovo X1 both with 7th/8th gen i7 CPU) the audio dropout meter is between 60 and 100%, even no sound is playing.
I have increased the buffer to 15ms which reduces dropouts but not completely. Much higher values will make latency too extreme.
When switching to the local soundcard, I have no dropouts and the dropout level is around 20%.
level without playing any sound. WIFI disabled and ASIO, 13ms:


While selecting a no ASIO driver, the level is much lower, no dropouts at all.

Bios on both laptops are up to date.
Any hints to this?
Thanks a lot for your help

Check your system for other background tasks or applications which may be consuming system resources. You can also try running a latency monitor test to see what's causing the system to perform sluggishly.
