I know you said you looked at your drivers but the only time that I get audio dropouts/stutter is when my buffers are too low to handle the load. Have you tried going to higher buffer settings like 2048? What are the Steinberg MIDI buffers settings? Can they be increased? If so do it.

Have you tried using MME or WAS drivers? If you are not recording these might help.

Do you have your external MIDI devices plugged into an USB 3 port? If your external MIDI devices are USB 2 the sometimes plugging them into an USB 3 port can cause problems. Are you using an USB hub? This can be another source of problems, especially if it is a non-powered external powered hub.

Good luck.
