Dropout troubleshoot

I've recently went back to an old project that was done during the X2 days and I am getting a lot of dropouts. I didn't have this problem back then but now the project is a problem child to do any editing in. Is there any method to find the source of the dropout issue?

    Under Preferences > Audio > Sync and Caching, File System, try increasing Playback I/O Buffer Size to 128 or 256.
     
    Also, when the dropout Toast notification pops up, click on "Help." It suggests multiple solutions, including more details on the above.

    Yes, I still have all my past versions intact. X1,2,3 even music creator from way back.

    If the project plays OK in X2 today but not in a newer version, comparing the X2 configuration to the new version may offer a solution. If the project fails the same in both versions of SONAR, it may point to a something other than SONAR such as a Windows update, an update to a plug-in or change to a program running in the background.
