I'm a new user of Cakewalk and have been in the process of setting up the audio engine with cakewalk recently.
I have a strange issue while using Cakewalk under WASAPI exclusive driver mode.
In short - the audio engine gets "thrown out" every once in a while. Suddenly the audio produced by playing a MIDI instrument via KONTAKT gets some wild digital artefact with overtones which sounds like some nonexistent LoFi computer synth. This happens spontaneously, while I'm using the program but also sometimes when I plug/unplug the power, open a browser etc. If I hit the playback button it chokes the playback for a split second and then continues to run normally as if nothing happened.
I'm using a rather low buffer size, because I need to play and record instruments live, but it doesn't seem to happen due to overload, sometimes it happens even if I do nothing.
It seems like some kind of conflict with the Window's system audio, or I don't know what

Dear Cakewalk wizards,
I'm a new user of Cakewalk and have been in the process of setting up the audio engine with cakewalk recently.
I have a strange issue while using Cakewalk under WASAPI exclusive driver mode.

This happens spontaneously, while I'm using the program but also sometimes when I plug/unplug the power, open a browser etc. If I hit the playback button it chokes the playback for a split second and then continues to run normally as if nothing happened.
I'm using a rather low buffer size, because I need to play and record instruments live, but it doesn't seem to happen due to overload, sometimes it happens even if I do nothing.
It seems like some kind of conflict with the Window's system audio, or I don't know what
Anyone has an idea of what can that be?
Thank you
Anton
