I alluded to this, and the only way to rule out all the rest of the hardware and software is to try another interface. I believe from all I have read here that the Tascam, with its fixed rate and drivers, is the prime suspect here.

Every so often, a vendor will discover some incompatibility with a chipset. We all go crazy diagnosing the problem because I might have the very same system as you and mine works. It might just be you need a firmware update, or your production run has bad capacitors.

It’s easy enough to try a different vendor like an inexpensive Scarlett and be sure.
