With whatever soundcard you have, the ASIO driver for it should allow you to adjust the buffer settings. Play with that setting to see if it solves the problem.
Is this a laptop?

Dave, A couple of years ago I had problems with one of the updates. What I did was to download the previous update and install that one. That fixed my problems. I then waited until a later update became available. With the above in mind, I suggest you download build #363 and (re)install it. This will effectively remove #365 (I'm assuming that that's your your build because you said your were fully up to date). ... link to updatesIt's worth a shot. If doing this fixes the problem then it's something that you can let PG Music support know about and they can investigate it. Regards, Noel

If you go no noise with MME and noise with ASIO I would think that the problem is with your ASIO drivers. Are they the latest drivers? If not update them. If they are find an older driver, uninstall the latest and load the older drivers. Does that work?
Some after thoughts, have you checked on the Tascam forums to see if others are having the same problem?
Another-does BiaB work well with ASIO? I think I remember others have problems with ASIO and BiaB. I don’t know personally as I use MME but I will gladly check ASIO if you would like me too.
The bumper sticker said "I'm a veterinarian, therefore I can drive like an animal". Suddenly I realized how many proctologists are on the road.
