I've been having this trouble for some time now. After a few hours my pc gets stuttering audio and requires a restart to be usable (for any audio work).

I've been in contact with focusrite, they helped me identify the culprit (via latencymon), which seems to be NDIS.SYS ( a network driver).

However, they did not really have a solution to the problem.
Sometimes (more often than not) this community knows more than the developers. So I'm hoping someone has found a solution to this? (because google says Im not alone in this, poeple have been having trouble with this driver since at least 10 years back)

Thanks, the DISM was new to me, however didn't solve the problem.
Guess I'll keep looking.

 

years ago that kind of problem circles around intel lan drivers... what system are you on? mind to provides more infos?

 

Nice little article, thanks for that
