Hi people, I am looking for a way to remove or disable iaStorV.sys. The reason is that it is causing a lot of disturbance in real time time audio capabilities, latency/drop out etc. I came to this conclusion using latency monitor, which shows iaStorV.sys a the driver creating most ISR and DPC activity along with some usb drivers that I cant seem to improve either.. I cant explain what ISR and DPC means, but I understand that it is taking priority over for example an audio application.
As far as I can gather from reading about iaStorV.sys, it relates to use of RAID. I am using AHCI. I dont know what that is either, but I guess it has to do with accessing/managing disks/memory. I have windows 7 Home Premium SP1, 32 bit, RAID is not an option in BIOS, only IDE and AHCI.
Can I somehow stop all this activity by iaStorV.sys ? Thanks
More about my system as I dont know what could be relevant for my question
Its set up for the best handling of audio possible, so no networking, security software and generally a lot of services disabled. I already improved audio capabilities a lot that way, but dont know what to do about iaStorV.sys
Synergy DJ-X5 laptop i5 2410M, 2.3 GHz, 4 GB (2.92 Usable) RAM
nvidia geforce GT520M cuda 1gb (nvidia optimus technology...?)
In device manager under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers there is just one entry: Intel (R) Mobile Express Chipset SATA AHCI Controller
In device manager under storage controllers there is just ne entry: an ISO mounter (native instruments)
Under System32/drivers i find iaStorV.sys and iaStor.sys
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
