I ran Task Manager (ctrl +shift+ esc) and went to process tab and the System (NT Kernel & System) started using processes when Inquisition booted up and at no other time. Task Manager isnt specific, and so I finally had to download a program from microsoft to monito all usage, and narrowed down an audio driver that was trying to be used, even though it shouldnt be.
In an effort to see if I could fix it I deleted my old audio drivers completely and lo and behold Inquisition is now working perfectly, and there is no freezing or stuttering.
Note: If you just delete your audio drivers, you will have no sound, unless you have a USB sound card just laying around like I did.
So in conclusion:
Check Task Manager for a non critical program conflict with DAI
If it is a critical program conflict (system), check your audio drivers.
I'm not sure about the audio problems maybe it was just you, but most tech savvy people already start their PC's with all unimportant services and startup programs already turned off.
Not an audio issue for me. And NVIDA has confirmed that the game is not optimized for several of their cards. They have escalated the issue but more people letting Bioware know wouldn't hurt.
did you test it?
