I should know this one but I haven't seen it for years. I press the Spacebar and the cursor takes 6 or 7 seconds to respond. It manages to play a few measures before dropout. Opening a project takes a long time, so does Exporting audio, Mixing down audio, pretty much everything. VLC and Audacity both work fine.
I/O Buffers are both at 256 and the ASIO panel is set to 512. No activity on the CPU because there's almost nothing in the project. Latest MOTU Traveler driver, and latest NVIDIA GeForce 710 driver. Drive Indexing is off, the machine never sleeps.
I'm desperate for a solution! Any suggestion welcome.
Thanks - rev
