Please don't pick up on my mention of SoundBlaster as the reason for to my problem. I know there is a lot of negative opinion about this brand.

I have normally used the built in sound card on two different laptops and BOTH exhibit the same problem. I would bet that many, many people do it this way this without my blip problem. I just happen to have a little SoundBlaster USB card which I tried to see if there was any difference. I'm not prepared to buy another piece of equipment just yet since I seem to be the only one with the problem.

I will give ASIO another try but I abandoned it years ago because of strange clicks, latency problems and general bizarre behaviour. MME has always been very stable and predictable, apart from the blips. I should mention that I don't use DXI because I have an hard synth and the BIAB FAQ says you may need ASIO if you use DXi.

Thanks
Tony
