Very stupidly, I allowed Windows 8 to do a software update the other day, and now Sonar has gone from being audio perfect with zero latency, to having crackles and pops all over the place. I've tried everything I can think of in the audio settings, but nothing's making the blindest bit of difference. Has anybody else had 8.5 problems after a recent Windows update?
 
Thanks

I have Windows 7, and have not run into that. Can you undo the update? Or was it one with a gazillion updates? In that case, a system restore would be my next step. Assuming no other answers are forthcoming here.
 
Another thought I just had: Windows may have installed and activated its own audio drivers. If so, you want to disable those. these can come with your video card also, so check that out as well. windows likes to do your thinking for you. It's the Nanny State of operating systems.
