Hrm interesting. Sorry my replies were short previously, I was hitting this on a phone on a bus. :-)
 
Did you check the Quad applet to make sure there's nothing fishy in your routings? I would think after a reinstall it wouldn't be the case but worth checking. 
 
I had major problems with my Octa Capture until I switched to WASAPI for driver mode, which cleared everything up. Maybe try different bit-depth settings to see if the problem goes away? 
 
It's a shame the Roland partnership didn't produce tighter integration here. I also think the Capture units are gonna get orphaned soon, which means no more driver updates and whatnot. Sigh.

I've tried all bit depths with the same result every time.
I have a spare usb card I'm going to install into my PC and bypass the onboard ones to see if that helps.

Problem solved! I installed a USB PCI card and plugged my Quad Capture interface into that instead of the on board USB ports and I no more issues using ASIO drivers.
 
Thanks to all that helped!!!

As an  aside...i renamed the aud.ini file and my OCTA-CAPTURE is behaving much better now.  (Thanks Kamikaze)
 
I seem to remember sometime ago I manually edited something in AUD.INI to make the 8 cores on my PC more balanced.  That worked for a long time.  Just guessing...but maybe something in WIN10 updates, Latest Sonar, WIN10 ASIO driver, who knows???? may have not liked that setting.
 
Sonar is working much better and is much more stable with my OCTA capture and WIN10, however i do see my first core spiking all the time while the other cores hardly move.  But as long as it all works I will not worry about the optics of my cores not looking uniform...

Hi , I looked at my ocatcapture driver settings (same screen as you posted).
 
I'm not a very experienced user but over time I have run with the audio buffer size at 5 (6 default) and the "match with the Asio sample rate" UNchecked. The rest is the same. Sonar audio settings are the same as you posted except the playback Timing Master and Record Timing master
 
Last night my band (6 of the 8 inputs recording) came around and I recorded in one take 2 hours of new song ideas (which I separate out later) and had no problems except the time the screen took to process the audio pictures.
 
I am Win 10 , but not connected to the internet only to update sonar .(currently running 22.10.0 Build 19[2016.10] - 64
 
Hope this helps a bit , I love the flexibility I have using the Octacapture with Sonar!
