I thought I had solved the problem by disabling Octa capture inputs and outputs in windows sound, however that ended up not fixing anything. The issue came back with a vengeance...
I got a response from Roland asking me to uninstall the drivers and re-install letting windows find the drivers on the inter-webs, below is the response. Since doing this things have been pretty stable. Sonar has crashed a few times, but it actually saved a recovery file, send a de-bug report to cakewalk and izotope, and did not remove the ASIO drivers. I call that a victory !! Whooo Hoooo
(important to note that you uninstall drivers by removing the App, not from device manager. If you remove drivers from device manager, the app is still there on your PC)
We would recommend uninstalling and then reinstalling the driver:

To check the version, turn off the OCTA-CAPTURE and turn it back on. The version number will appear on the screen while it's powering on. If it needs to be updated, this can be downloaded here:
