I'm using a pirated version of vegas pro 13 with Windows 10, yes I searched for this issue.

I'm a youtuber, and my process involves dropping an audio file of my narration into the timeline, and then editing video to it. I've been entirely fine for over a year on this setup and didn't change any settings as far as I'm aware, but as of recently, if I have any splits in the audio, it will randomly skip and double play that audio if I play it back. This will only happen 1 out of every 3 or 4 times, but what that means is that when I render the video, some of those splits will end up resulting in audio skips, and I have no way to control it. Can any of you think of any weird issue, or some setting, that could be causing this?
