Vegas 20.0 build 214, Windows 10 (latest), Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 (either via Windows sound mapper or direct).
This is not a new problem. I have searched for answers without results.
My audio is recorded as .wav 96K/24bit. When previewing audio, it plays a short bit of audio, blasts white noise, and returns to the audio. It happens no matter where the audio is started. Blasts are brief. The blasts don't appear in rendered files but are very hard on the ears when lining up audio and video. Blasts do not appear if I use the audio recorded on the camera (but that's not really decent audio).
When zoomed in a few times, the waveform is shown normally, but blasts white noise. When zooming in further, solid blocks of white noise appear (they move around). When zooming in even further, the blasts show up in more detail.
I have deleted the .sfk files so the waveforms would be rebuilt. This still happens. As I said, it happens no matter where the audio preview is started, and the blocks of white noise jump around when zooming in.
As suggested elsewhere, I deleted the old Magix 2016 low-latency driver some time ago. Just to test, I deleted all the other tracks, leaving only this one. The problem persists -- as I said, only in preview playback.
Suggestions welcome! Thank you!
