Thanks, Jim.
My version is 15.0.174.
I have already used the more specific Ayre-QB9 setup page.
I have also tried ASIO instead of the recommended WASAPI/event.
Please note that my 44KHz playback is 99.9% satisfactory. The
bigger problem arises at 96KHz (I get one drop-out every few minutes).
Also, I am not sure about the definition of drop outs/clicks/pops -
mine sound like a girl spitting (that's the best I could come up with
).
Thanks.
Aviram.
