Things I'd look at or try:

Open RB and check the sound card bit rate settings like 16/44 or 24/48 (you may be opening a file of one setting and have the card/RB set to something else). This has happened here with new sound devices.

Try setting the your sound device in RB as the windows default device and then try opening a file to see if it is indeed sound card related.

Try creating a new file, then saving it. Close RB, re-open, and see if a newly saved file exhibits this same behavior.

Try opening a Backup File (File-Open Backup) to see if file corruption has taken place.

Did you remove the focusrite drivers? Maybe there is a conflict there.


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