Buffers in Playback Queue?

[Cobus Prinsloo]

Hi, I've wrestled with one project in terms of audio dropouts. It's so bad that, when it happens, it's no use restarting the audio engine.

SO, I've consulted the Sonar manual, and one setting I should be able to change is the number in the Buffers in Playback Queue box under "Mixing Latency".  Although I'm running a decent ASIO driver for my Scarlett 4i4, I'm unable to change the current setting "2".  Can someone help, please?

That setting is for WDM drivers. It's grayed out when driver mode is ASIO. A project-specific issue is likely plugin-related, but if increasing the ASIO buffer size is not helping, you may have some other issue. When you say "dropouts", is the transport actually stopping with a dropout code, or you're just hearing the audo drop out? An unlicensed/expired plugin on the Master bus could cause this but it would be more consistent.

Next time it happens, try clicking the Audio-MIDI Reset button in the tranport while holding Ctrl to re-initialize the driver.
