JC Audiophile optimization on win7, 2012, and R2.

[jesuscheung]

yes. not particularly interesting

I always wondered what it did, it does make a difference, I mean apart from stopping processes and changing affinities/priorities. There might be some little secrets in there that are worth investigating.

i remember tracking its registry changes. nothing you haven't seen from all these audiophile scripts from googling.

[jesuscheung]

updated bios tweak. power phase control uses high. final. no more changes.

SCVHOST

-basically the idea is that no matter how many services you disable/delete, the footprint will remain in SCVHOST. don't know what SCVHOST is? google

-this guide assumes you have deleted the same services like i did and have survived since then:
viewtopic.php?f=15&t=2456&p=48859#p48859

1. go to registry,
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Svchost]
go through each value, delete these services whenever you see them:
vmicheartbeat, vmicvss, vmictimesync, vmicshutdown, vmicrdv, vmickvpexchange
WdiSystemHost, WdiServiceHost, DPS
MSiSCSI, seclogon, SessionEnv, SENS, Remoteaccess, SCPolicySvc

2. don't tough anything else unless you have tested that SQ will improve.

3. there is also 64bits version of svchost at
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Svchost]
DON'T TOUCH IT unless you know SQ will increase.

how to tell if SQ has increased by deleting a service from svchost?
-if soundstage is reduced or messed up, stop right there!
-if SQ is less free/open, stop right there!
-soundstage can expand. sound should be more free more air more analog. vibration can improve.

what else have i tried?
-i tried put audioendpointbuilder , MMSCC into self-contained svchost, SQ changes, good and bad. shame really. thought SQ will increase unconditionally
-also tried to remove security of all SVCHOST by setting CoInitializeSecurityParam=0. SQ didn't increase.

NOTE: there should be more services removable. i am sick and tired of testing... already tried 30+ services...

looking into server core-mode. huge reduction in svchost footprint! no wonder people loves it. going to copy and paste as much as possible into my non-gui-mode.

you mean minamal server mode right?
theres no wasapi on core

[jesuscheung]

that's why i need to copy and paste the server-core settings into my non-gui-mode.

[jesuscheung]

half way through. only issue soundstage is pushed closer to ear. maybe i need to go all the way.

ok
understand now
that sounds interesting

[jesuscheung]

done. better and worse. soundstage is pushed forward. need to figure the service that causes it.

probably the useless Windows Store. MS has to punish me for removing their useless crap.

[jesuscheung]

made judgement too early. XA win7 still better.

lacks behind in musical nuances. treble is dryer. bass layer not enough.
guess more tweaking shall be for xmax
