Annabelle, These drivers are all Windows built-in drivers that cannot be
updated except by Microsoft itself, and they are not the cause of your issues;
I already explained to you what your issue is and where it’s coming from. Given
the age of your motherboard odds are the drivers for that system are already up
to date.
For example, if NTOSKernel is causing latency in your system, this could be due
to various background processes, applications you’ve installed, hardware etc.
that isn’t really a driver, it is the kernel (or heart) of the Window operating
system. It is causing latency because something else is causing it to.
Troubleshooting and fixing these kinds of problems takes allot of time and
experience, as you need to know what procedures to follow, what really works,
and what is just internet myth that has no baring on performance and may in
most cases damage your system performance instead of helping.

Brian at PC Audio Labs says I should try updating the problem drivers, but I'm
not sure how to update them without causing possible instability due to
mismatches. Particularly the drivers that use "usbport.sys", "storport.sys",
"ntoskernel.sys", "ndis.sys", and"ataport.sys". I want to update these, but I'd
like to do it in a way that won't break JAWS accessibility and other program
compatibilities. Do I just do it through the Device Manager?

Hi, perfect space will install the architecture according to the sonar version
you install. That is, if you install 32 bit, perfect space will be 32 bit, if
you install sonar 64 bit, perfect space will install as 64 bit. If you have
both, it would depend on which folder sonar is scanning. The same goes for most
plugins, except for a few exceptions, but the Sonar installer marks those as
(32 bit only) if you install those they will obviously be running in the 32 bit
space using bit bridge to run on 64 bit platforms.
Regarding ASIO drivers, you tell SONAR to use the ASIO audio system, every
plugin and effect’s audio output is handled internally by SONAR’s audio engine,
so it already knows to use ASIO for output; you’ve no need and can’t specify
what driver mode plugins use.
The problems you are experiencing with perfect space are due to your computer
issues; I already explained to you that this would happen and will continue
happening until the problems are properly resolved. Perfect space is a
convolution reverb, so it by nature will have some latency as it processes the
tracks’ audio using the selected impulse response; but the fact that you are
hearing stuttering when using the plugin has to do with your system not working
properly and your high DPC latency.

Hi, it's Annabelle.
On my Focusrite Scarlet 18I20, I have Sonar's audio options set to Focusrite
USB ASIO. However, Perfect Space has some stuttering, and it says the latency
is at 4096 in the plugin. When I bypass it, the stuttering stops, but then when
I switch it on again, the stuttering comes back. How do I fix this? Is there a
way to switch any plugins I have to operate via ASIO mode? If so, how would I
do this? By the way, is there a 64-bit version of Perfect Space? Or is it just
32-bit? I'm confused!
😕
