No other background programs running on the computer. I just had three very severe audio dropouts 15 minutes ago, three in a row, without doing anything in particular. I still get the occasional audio dropout.

Increased the ASIO buffer size to 2048 (maximum setting).

Tried all the various settings for the IEEE1394 driver in MR Tools -> Utility (which should I use?).

Updated the 816x drivers to the latest ones for Win 10.

I should mention I use Ableton Live mostly for recording external gear (through the 816x and an ADAT device, Behringer ADA8000), so the CPU load in Live while I use it is minimal (around 3% due to two instances of a VST sending clock from Live to an ADAT device I’ve got in my modular eurorack system).Īnyways, I’ve done these things, to no avail: No problems or audio dropouts what so ever.īut ever since I installed Windows 10 I’ve been getting occasional audio dropouts in Ableton Live. I had Windows 7 before, and Steinberg 816x and Ableton Live 9.7.5 worked perfectly with that. My old hard drive crashed, so I had to re-install everything, but this time with Windows 10.
