The AMD Driver Thread
- Thread starter LtMatt
- Start date
Weirdly, my Ryzen CPU that I've had for years popped up in the Performance tab with these drivers.
First time I've ever seen it do that. Only lasted until the next reboot though.

Not sure if to put this in this thread or the owners thread but having an issue with a 9070XT.
Basically, HDMI audio breaks for me at low load.
I have two monitors plugged in via DP, then HDMI out to an AV Amp, connected to a TV.
I only really game on the TV now and then but I use the amp for all my audio.
When the TV is off the amp just shows as a generic monitor, 1080p@60Hz.
Playing an audio file using MPC-HC, with nothing else running is really bad.
Audio distorts, crackles, cuts in and out but I noticed it improved if I started doing other things that put load on the GPU.
You can literally grab the MPC window and frantically move it around the screen and get it to put enough load on the GPU that it'll mitigate the issue.
One easy way for me to replicate this is to watch a youtube video and then minimise the browser with the video still playing.
With the browser up everything is fine, video plays with out issue, audio is perfect, MPC-HC will happily play an audio file along with it.
But a little while after minimising the browser, the audio will go to crap again.
Restoring the browser has mixed results, depending on how bad the audio got.
Sometimes a pause/play on the video will bring the audio back perfect, sometimes the audio will come back but distorted, sometimes I need to switch audio devices and back to fix it.
The above is when watching a video on youtube.
Black arrow is roughly where I hit stop. You can see the 'High priority 3D" util dop off but not completely.
Red arrow shows when the audio issues started. I'm assuming buffering of the video is why it takes a little longer for the Video Codec to catch up, finishes the buffer and then util drops to 0.
This dropping to 0 then also means the HP3D drops to 0 and one or both of these is then causing my HDMI audio issue.
Green arrow is restoring the browser window.
Blue arrow is me hitting pause/play on the video to get the audio fixed.
Have used this audio set up for years with various different PC components no issues.
Under display specs in the driver it states 'HDMI Link Status monitoring : Disabled' and does not show the current link settings/speed.
Also I have no HDMI link assurance(?) option in the drivers, I'm sure there used to be one but I've never really had a need to toggle it before.
I might see if I've got a shorter decent cable around but it means messing about moving the PC and the cable in use is only 3m, so not exactly pushing it I don't think.
I have ordered another HDMI cable just to be sure but the cable I have had been perfect on my last AMD card, a 6700XT.
The ironic thing is I was so happy to get away from the 6700 as I was always annoyed by this old issue which I don't think ever got fixed?
So have gone from abnormally high util giving me media consumption issues to now being plagued by low util issues.
Great card otherwise though but it's gonna have to go if i can't find a fix.

Update to the above.
New cable arrived and hasn't helped, tbh may be worse though need to test more. The impact of the issue is about the same but recovery seems worse.
Switching audio device to one of the DP monitors and then pluging headphones into the monitor also gives issues.
No where near as bad as over HDMI, audio doesn't really cut out but there are still audible issues, clicks, pops etc.
Messing about with Microsoft drivers, instead of AMD's and thought this had fixed it but it wasn't repeatable and the MS driver's give reduced functionality on HDMI audio.
Found other user reports for this on different forums but no fix found.
Not sure if this can be fixed in s/w, really hope it's not a f/w or h/w issue.
Real PITA for me at the moment. This set up worked fine with my last three GPUs.

What browser are you using, does using a different browser with YouTube minimising/maximising give the same issue with the HDMI audio?
I observed the same as you, with the Video Codec usage, when minimising Edge. My audio was fine though as I'm not outputting to an AV AMP > TV.
Have you tried a DDU of the drivers and a fresh install?
Have you also done an SFC /scannow and a DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to ensure windows integrity and install is OK?
Does removing the DP monitors (or one of them) have any impact on the HDMI audio?

Seems OK for me, or am I looking in the wrong places? Utilisation, Voltage, Temp and Power.
EDIT: Did you expand "Additional Metrics"?
EDIT: Also, under Tracking have you selected the "eye" icon within the CPU section?

Browser is Firefox.
Will try some others but my guess is they'll only make a difference if they keep the load up when minimised.
DDU, yes.
Was on the previous drivers with a 6700XT and the latest drivers came out the day I got the 9070XT.
SFC /scannow and a DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
Will try these when I get time.
Will try removing the DP monitors and try the Amp/TV as the primary and only monitor to see if it helps.
The only test I've done so far with the TV on is just having it as a third monitor (2160p@60Hz), hoping maybe that it sending a full video signal would help but it didn't.
I'm on Win 10 22H2 oldish install I guess but it's kept pretty clean and up to date.
I should probably look to upgrade to Win 11 at some point, just been putting off.
Cheers post back with how you get on. Ahh I assumed Windows 11 as well. Probs should get off Windows 10 as it goes EOL in October. I know I'm in the minority when I say "Windows 11 is great" haha.
But honestly, can't say I've had any problems with it.
@chaosophy forgot to say, what is your PSU? All cabled up correctly for the 9070XT?

Yep all i can get is cpu utilisationSeems OK for me, or am I looking in the wrong places? Utilisation, Voltage, Temp and Power.

Corsair RM1000X.
Currently hooked up with 'two' cables, though I have the ASUS Prime OC 9070XT with three 8-pin pwr and the third 8-pin is pig tailed off of one of the cables.
Thinking of it I should check how many PCIe connections the PSU has (and if I can find the cables) maybe switch to three cables rather than the 2+1 I'm using now.
Though tbh my issue is definitely at low low load, smashing the card with benchmarks and games has been solid.
I might have missed the start of this conversation but chipset drivers up to date?
Ryzen Master installed and up to date? If so does removing it help?

Yep chipset and gpu drivers upto date don't use ryzen master tried it a while ago made my pc unstable
Only just lost the cpu monitoring after a fresh install of window's

No idea if you need RM tbh but I do have it installed and up to date, not that I ever really use it.
It's one difference between our setups so might be worth a try? No need to use it to actually mess with settings, so hopefully stable for you.
Another oddity I've noticed is that sometimes I get the Eyefinity option under displays and sometimes not.
Never used Eyefinity, so not really bothered about it or have any idea if this option was there before or not but another weird behaviour. :/

Yeah understood. You'd think it would be the other way around, but it might be worthwhile exploring all options so if you can get it onto 3 independent 8(6+2) cables that would be good.
All that was there in the previous driver I was using, just seems to have disappeared for the latest ones -
Used to show under Tuning tab, above GPU too, but that's missing too.
Update...
SFC /scannow
Found and fixed issues.
Checked the log file and nothing jumped out as being a major issue.
Mainly just file system security alerts but they where for things that still had file system rights from a previous build, or where I've taken ownership of system dirs etc.
Ran it again and no more issues found.
Issue still persists.
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
Ran with no issues reported.
Ran twice, just 'cus.
Issue persists.
Completely unplugged all DP cables from the back of the card and powered up with just the Amp/TV connected via HDMI.
Same issue.
Interestingly the image is fine, audio still bugs out but image is stable.
2160p@60Hz + HDR being more than enough going over the cable to keep the connection alive and show that generally my set up is fine.
TV never shows signs of the HDMI connection dropping, no usual symptoms of flashing screens OSD input pop ups etc.
Amp never shows the HDMI connection dropping or PCM disconnecting, just the speakers flashing on and off.
PSU.
Checked online and it has enough connections for three separate cables, so just need to find them now.
Even if it's unlikely to fix my issue, I am interested to see if it makes any difference to benching under uv/oc conditions.

Have you tried latencymon? Does the crackle/pop etc correspond to a spike in system latency? It also lets you know which process caused the spike to narrow down the culprit.
