TL;DR: LatencyMon flags ACPI.sys with ~33 ms DPC spikes on my Scar 15. I sometimes get a short audio buzz and a brief game freeze. I’ve already done clean GPU drivers + fresh Windows + latest BIOS. Looking for other owners’ results and any fix that actually stuck.

What I’ve already tried
DDU in Safe Mode installed community-recommended stable NVIDIA driver 566.36 (also tested others).
Fresh Windows install + all ASUS/Windows updates.
Latest chipset/MEI/audio/Wi-Fi/BT drivers.
Turbo profile, MUX dGPU-only.
Screenshot/log attached. Thanks in advance happy to try anything reproducible and report back with what works.
Asus has stopped releasing BIOS updates for this model in 2023 and I feel like this is now more of a BIOS/EC issue than the drivers themselves but i really don't know.

Thanks in advance.
