PersonaPlex produces choppy/unusable audio on DGX Spark (GB10)

Author: roychriCreated Jan 19, 2026Updated Jul 24, 2026

Environment

  • Hardware: DGX Spark with GB10 (Blackwell, sm_121)
  • Memory: 128GB unified
  • PyTorch: 2.9.0+cu130
  • PersonaPlex: latest from pip

Problem

Audio output is extremely choppy and unusable for real-time conversation. The model runs but cannot keep up with real-time audio streaming.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install PersonaPlex on DGX Spark following README
  2. Run the server with python -m moshi.server --ssl <path>
  3. Connect via web UI and attempt conversation
  4. Audio is choppy both from host machine and remote clients

What I've tried

  • Disabled torch.compile and CUDA graphs
  • Disabled Flash Attention (SDPA fallback)
  • Various quantization approaches (all failed or didn't help)

Expected behavior

Real-time conversational audio as demonstrated in the model card
