Sly, I started out trying to follow your efforts but things change so fast there I can't keep up.
No, of course what you describe is not a common behavior.

Is there a need for using ASIO? Can MME be used to see if it is a driver issue? ASIO is a one trick pony and a one master dog .. if it changed it's because something in your system changed it. Like Windows, or Media Player, or the Roland device or who knows what else may have priority.


Which sound device are you using when this happens.

I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
