Sound cutting out solved... (Mbox pro 3) PC only

[risey]

I been pulling my hair out why is sound cutting out on PT 11, one way to tease it back is to change buffer, then it goes again, change buffer again, ping pong back and forth....

ANYWAY.... i have now solved the problem and i noticed some on here having the same issue, its not your PC, its not the amount of plugins its the bloody driver ! In particular 1.1.9. I rolled back to driver 1.1.8, put the PC under lots of stress to test it, never cut out once !

So if any of you are having this sound cutting out issue, go back to driver 1.1.8, it works flawless for me.
Good luck...
