ok, i am using x3 studio, with Windows 7 Ultimate, Focusrite 6i6, Asus Puter with AMD FX (tm)-6300 Six-Core Processor, 3.50GHZ, 800 GB RAM, 64 Bit OS, I still have sound drop outs. Will start playing for about 15 secs, sound goes off, have to press the Input Echo icon, sound comes back on for about 10 to 15 secs, goes out again, push the input echo again, sound comes back and stays on. If i try to go to Preferences to adjust the buffer or speed, its not highlighted and wont let me adjust. Suggestions?????
