![]() ![]() Program performance is intrinsically linked to the resolution value of the Windows Timer.Timer resolution is a GLOBAL value in Windows, meaning it can only ever have 1 value, and every program that relies on this value for timing has to share.Here is everything I have been able to determine to some degree of accuracy, though if anyone can shed some light onto exactly y how this works, corrections are appreciated. That said, I’m going to try and keep this as absolutely simple as possible. I have never had such a hard time researching something during my entire time using the internet. There is little to no concise information as to exactly how this setting works, the effect of this value changes based on your specific hardware, and the effect of this value also changes occasionally after certain Windows updates with the last change to it being almost a year ago now. This has been by far the worst section to research. To be fair, Windows doesn’t really draw your attention to it, and it should really be activated by default unless an external sound card is detected, but what can you do? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It’s astonishing to me the amount of times I’ll hear complaints in game about the audio, from people that are baffled by the existence of this setting.

If you don’t have a dedicated sound card built into your headset as mentioned in the Italics, Windows does a terrible job of passing spatial sound through to your headset by default, regardless of how expensive your headset is, unless you have enabled Windows Sonic for Headphones (or equivalent) in your operating system. This is a dedicated spatial sound mixer, and should always be used if you have the option, as the quality of this will be far superior compared to the option built into Windows. This will usually be a hard plastic bit slightly larger than a thumb drive typically located near the inline volume controls on a USB headset. You can Ignore this step if your headset has an inline sound card that says something to the effect of “7.1 surround” on it. ![]()
