I just replied to another post as I also had stutters, but have you tried unselecting Use MMCSS?

Hi, just wanted to say that I've also had extremely similar problem. Was using 2022.03 and always had little stutters and glitchy sounding stuff going on. I also have beast computer, 12th gen I5 12600k, 16gb 3600mhz ram, all projects on a WD Black drive (tried on SSD and same stutters). The glitches would happen no matter what driver mode, WASAPI Shared, MME, Asio etc and I've also fiddled constantly with buffer settings. I unchecked MMCSS per your suggestion @msmcleod and suddenly playback is smooth and uninterrupted. LatencyMon was detecting high DPC's with my nvidia graphics card and was suggesting that I might experience audio issues (I was), so clearly with MMCSS enabled Cakewalk became victim to high DPC and other buffer slowdowns from other computer processes. I've now updated to 2022.11 and with that new checkbox enabled still get stutters so will leave Use MMCSS permanently off.
