Hi! Have you tried changing the “Power Plan” in the Control Panel? Adjusting the power-saving settings might solve your problem. Please note that the names of each item might differ as my PC’s OS language is different.
- Open the “Control Panel”.
- Click on “Power Options”.
- Go to “Change plan settings” and then “Change advanced power settings”.
Make the following changes:
- “Processor”
Change the minimum processor state to 100%. - “PCI Express”
Turn off Link State Power Management. - “USB settings”
Disable USB selective suspend setting (if your audio interface is USB type).
In the past, I faced similar issues with an older version, and changing the power-saving settings stabilized the peak meter. I encountered the same issue with version 13.0.41, so I reviewed the power-saving settings again, and now the issue is mitigated.
If this does not solve the issue, try disabling Intel(R) SpeedStep™ technology in the BIOS.
Alternatively, try disabling the “C-State” in the BIOS.
