Hello,
I am at my wits end here. Whenever I start Adobe Audition, my monitors refresh rate tanks into the low 10's - stays there for a few seconds and then goes up again. Basically everytime I bring the program to the front, move it around on the desktop or resize windows in Audition this happens. Now I know you may think it's not the refresh rate, but it really is. My monitor can output the refresh rate on it's OSD - and I can see it drop from 120Hz to 9, then 30, then 5 etc when working with the program. As soon as I minimize it or use another program, refresh rate goes back to 120Hz.
So here's the kicker... this does NOT happen when I have youtube open in a browser, or watching any kind of video, be it streaming video, Mediaplayer or VLC. As soon as a video is running on my system, Audition behaves completely normal, even if for example the browser the video is running in is minimized in the taskbar. On youtube, I can even pause the video and minimize it. Audition will behave normally as long as the video is loaded.
I am running a dual monitor setup 60Hz/120Hz and have disabled the second one already, but to no avail. I have also checked if Audition can hardware accelerate, but alas I cannot find any option to force it to do that. I disabled vsync, gsync in the nvidia control panel, I checked my power settings, checked the load on my CPU/GPU - but there is nothing that indicates a problem, other than that Audition misbehaves if I am running only Audition and no videos in the background.
I know all of this sounds really crazy, but that's exactly my issue here, I can't nail down the problem. Other Adobe programs like After Effects, Photoshop or Premiere are not affected by this issue, they work completely fine.
Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this?
