After this update I am now getting pops or farts in my audio, which i wasn't getting before.
This certainly was not my experience after updating the the August Early release. In fact, performance was vastly improved with this update.
Have you tried exiting Sonar, renaming (don't delete) your aud.ini file and restarting Sonar so that Sonar can rebuild the file.
The Aud.ini file reside here: %APPDATA%\Cakewalk\SONAR Platinum
