Critical Windows Audio Optimization

⚠️ THE #1 CAUSE OF DROPOUTS: PRESENCE DETECTION
Modern laptops use AI sensors and camera tracking to monitor your presence. This constant polling creates massive DPC Latency spikes, causing stuttering, pops, and real-time audio dropouts.
OEM Bloatware (Disable or Uninstall immediately):
  • LG: Disable LG Glance by Mirametrix (Primary cause for LG Gram).
  • Dell: Disable ExpressSign-in or “Proximity Sensor” in Dell Optimizer.
  • Lenovo: Disable Zero Touch Lock or “Virtual Lock Sensor” in Lenovo Vantage.
  • HP: Disable “Auto Lock/Awake” in HP Presence.
  • ASUS: Disable “Adaptive Lock” in MyASUS.

PowerShell: Force Remove Audio-Killing Bloatware

To ensure these services don’t restart, run PowerShell as Administrator and use these commands:

# Uninstall LG Glance / Mirametrix components Get-AppxPackage *Mirametrix* -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online | Where-Object {$_.PackageName -like "*Mirametrix*"} | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online # Disable Dell/Lenovo/HP Sensor Services Get-Service -Name "DellOptimizer*", "EllipticVLS", "HPPresence*" | Stop-Service -PassThru | Set-Service -StartupType Disabled

Permanent Registry Fixes

Run these in an Administrator Command Prompt (CMD):

:: Disable Modern Standby (Forces traditional S3 Sleep for stability) reg add HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power /v PlatformAoAcOverride /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f :: Disable Windows Human Presence Sensing Policy reg add HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\HumanPresence /v ForceDisableWakeWhenBatterySaverOn /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f :: Disable General Windows Sensor Service (Stops background polling) reg add HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SensorService /v Start /t REG_DWORD /d 4 /f

Mandatory Diagnosis Tool

Standard System Checklist:
  • Switch Processor Scheduling to “Background Services” in System Properties.
