Ok I'm a complete noob .. I googled how to addd ASIO, not knowing had its own. So I just uninstalled ASIO4all and turned ASIO in Cakewalk. Turns out it works splendidly Thanks a lot

Thanks for your answers. I have tried without with airplane mode, no tabs or ongoing tasks, it does not change. Just to be clear, I cannot even listen to a track already recorded through the digital audio interface, even that glitches a 100%. Not a sound can come out clearly from the PC into the digital interface for some reason. Any idea where than can come from ? Also, turning on ASIO (I installed ASIO4ALL) in Cakewalk doesnt allow me to use my Focusrite Interface, Cakewalk doesnt recognize the device anymore. I've read this about ASIO, which makes me think this is perhaps not the issue : discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/topic/34029-i-need-asio4all/ .

I need a new laptop, any advice ? After a couple of months of making digital tracks and samples on Cakewalk, I have decided to take up a notch a also record my own live instruments, ie guitar & vocals. So I purchased a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen, but it is basically unusable as it is with my current setup. The audio monitring is constantly glitching and cracking, to the point where it is impossible to listen to an audio file. I have fully installed Focusrite Control, and followed instructions from Help Center and videos to reduce audio craks / latency issues. I have namely followed this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QykpGytOXs8&t=39s , but also most videos on youtube, adjusted buffer size, etc. I own an ACER Aspire F15, with Intel Core i7 (2.7 GHz, up to 3.5 with boost), 8 GB DDR4 Memory, 128 GB SSD + 1 TB HDD. The computer is 5 years old, though it is still very fast apart from the digital interface issues. So, I wondering if it was purely due to my PC, any thoughts ? I meant to buy a new one anyway, but not sure what to get. What PC do you use to record through a digital audio interface ?

Found the actual answer

I uninstelled it and reinstalled several times following those steps, it never showed up in cakewalk
