Addressing part 2, one tweak every Windows user should do is go into System Settings and adjust the Power Options. You will find something for USB and you should disable the Selective Suspend. Make any other changes needed to keep power running to all devices when doing digital audio work.

Regarding BIAB, there is no difference running the Audiophile version from ‘regular’ versions on the supplied USB drive. In other words, the fix does not involve BIAB.
