Interment static / white noise

JeremyFife:
Hi,
I've registered MC30 for windows
 I use an oldish HP Win 10 laptop (Intel i7). ASIO drivers into an external DAC for stereo music.  Internet radio, Amazon music (WDM) and flac files stored on a SD card.
Everything plays well except that I regularly - daily - get an issue where the music is replaced with white noise or static. Mostly happens when I change source, but not always. Fixes itself over time, sometimes I can restart MC30 and that works, but sometimes I just need to wait.
The speakers are fine if I connect another source (my phone).
I can see the signal go to white noise (in the visualisation) so it's not the DAC.
Tried wasapi, no difference.
This is really annoying!
Any thoughts?
Any thoughts

JimH:
Can you test with another DAC? 

JeremyFife:
I'll try that - if I can find an adapter for my phone's headphone dongle.
I was pretty sure the cause is before my DAC because I can see the waveform change (but I accept that I'm no expert)

JeremyFife:
Typically, it's not doing it now ... I will update the post if/when it re-occurs

JeremyFife:
Update
Issue still happening.
#1 Replaced desktop DAC with a 'dongle' DAC - into the same speakers via the same AUX input
#2 Happened even when I'd forgotten to turn my desktop DAC on - no audio obviously, but the spectrum shape in the display window is unmistakeable

Also happens if I've been playing music via my Amazon Desktop App - which plays through JRiver (because I use ASIO?).  When I switch back to JRiver I got static and had to restart
