Drop outs, audio not playing, suddenly in a project

I've always found studio one to be very reliable, so long as you've got everything set properly in Audio setup. All of a sudden in my active project audio has started dropping out, not just little drop outs but sometimes for many seconds, it eventually comes back then happens again. WHen it's not playing... all the meters are firing as if it is playing, just no sound. Sometimes it won't play at all. I thought maybe the install of a new plugin cause this so I removed anything recent I installed.

Setup - Studio One 6.6.4.102451, Windows 11 Pro
- SSL2+ audio interface
- Block size 2048 samples
- Tried with Release audio device in background on and off
- Dropout Protection Maximum
- Process Precision32-bit
- Sample rate 44.1 KHz
- On the SSL I have Safe Mode checked

Not of these settings have changed recently so I don't understand what all of a sudden caused this. I was working on a different version of this project and never ha d a problem. I haven't gone back to see if it's limited to one file (song) or just this new version and will try that next.

Has anyone experienced this and any recommendations on how to troubleshoot?

Thanks
 
Please update your signature (see link in mine) with your system specs as that helps in responding to questions.

Interested in what your findings were regarding if the issue you're having is limited to the one song.

done (I think). Not limited to the one song version. Also tested with my SCarlett 2i2 - not quite the same but very choppy playback.. still hunting.
 
I had this once some weeks ago. Only 1 day, after that it never happened again. Maybe do a few reboots, then see if the issue persists
 
The scarlette, I solved temporarily so I could work by switching to windows audio, which makes no sense because the Asio driver should be better performance (haven't tried the same with the SLL). Also the Scarlette and SSL should both have their own Asio drivers, but maybe it has to do something with the way studio one is interfacing with Asio drivers (??). I've rebooted a couple times since and powered down my SSL a few times. Will see how things are tonight.
 
Are you running the latest ASIO drivers for the SSL 2 & Scarlett 2i2?
 
Yes - although I have discovered an issue with the SSL. It's not a new issue, but one I need to resolve. The firmware is not updating for some reason.. should be v1.4 and despite running the updates successfully, says it's still 1.1. Maybe something changed in Studio One that doesn't work well with the older firmware (something SSL had updated long ago). Ticket in with SSL to try to resolve. Doesn't explain odd behavior with the Scarlette. Will test today again with SSL and see if any issues. Appreciate all the responses.
 
I think I've found the issue... BSA Low Control. Why it just started happening I don't know as I've used low control before. I use bSA Clipper all the time, no issues. But as soon as I start with that plugin is when I have issues. Projects where it's not there, no issues, playing a project where it's there, the drop outs. Try to add it to a new project... starts happening. For now, I'll say this is resolved and try to remove, reinstall.
 
Spoke too soon... started up again. That plugin has been completely removed from my system. Still searching for answers.
 
Have you updated to Studio One Pro 6.6.4 yet?
With Block Size set to 2048 samples, have you tried turning Dropout Protection to Off or Minimum?
 
Already on 6.6.4.. sorry my signature wasn't accurate. I just omitted the third digit. And I can confirm - this happens with both audio interfaces, but Windows Audio and just headphones no drop outs. SOmething to do with the way S1 is using the Asio drivers (two different drivers). Wondering if Asio4all or something like that snuck on to my computer... investigating.
 
Regarding droput protection off... I don't think I have. Let me try that.
 
First test tonight dropping dropout protection down seemed to work. But I'll continue to test.
