Will try MME asap and report back. Stay tuned.


You've gotten completely off track again. What's the answer to that question?

And, if it's still bad then follow Dell's advice and restore Win 10 to stock and try it again. If that also fails, then get a new laptop.

A final note. People should carefully research various interfaces before buying one and that includes asking about them on musician forums like this one, Behringer is never listed up there with the big names. You need to buy one of the well known interfaces like Steinberg which I have because they invented the whole VST thing in the first place so it stands to reason they know what they're doing. In addition to Steinberg we usually recommend Fosusrite, MOTU, PreSonus. All big names in the studio/DAW world.

Computers are flaky enough by themselves without adding a flaky interface to the mix. And I get it that some here report problems with WAS. For me I don't understand that. I keep my system completely stock, the way Win 10 originally installed. No tweaks at all and WAS works perfectly for me. But, I also don't use laptops because I know they can have issues that do require tweaks mostly to do with automatic power management. Laptops use mobile chips that can easily overheat. You can't equate a desktop CPU to a laptop CPU that can at first glance seems like the same chip. Hey, they're both i5's they're the same! No, they're not.
