Audio dropouts or crashes during playback

Symptom: After several seconds of playback, the audio begins to cut out, although the transport appears to keep rolling.

Solutions:

Go to Edit > Preferences > Audio - Devices and increase the value of the Mixing Latency slider, or adjust the hardware buffer size in the ASIO Panel.

There may be a plug-in that is causing the project to crash. Try opening the project in Safe Mode:

1.

Go to File > Open and select the project that crashes, but do not open it yet.

2.

Hold down the SHIFT key and click Open.

The File Open - Safe Mode dialog box appears, prompting you to load the plug-ins that are used in the project.

3.

Click No for any plug-in that has been recently installed or added to the project. You can also remove any non-Cakewalk plug-ins to ensure the project will load properly.
