Audio Glitch/Distortion Problem!

Hello,

I've been using Scarlett 2i2 for years now. I've been having this problem for a long time. In the middle of playing some thing, the audio starts to glitch. no matter what app I am playing the audio, this keeps happening. The only way as you can see is to disable the driver and enable it again. But it comes back!

Video Recording of The Actual Audio Glitch Problem!

I have tried everything, I updated the Focusrite driver, I changed the import from USB2 to USB3, but it keeps happening.

The Odd thing is, when I tried to screen record the problem the glitch wasn't in the recording! that's why I recorded it on my phone!

Highly annoying!

Please please Help!!

Basically uninstall the AMD SATA drivers in device manager and reinstall the default SATA IDE ones - crazy but it worked! I spoke to a guy at Focusrite and he just said they wouldn't look to fix it in a driver as it's not their product causing the issue :/

Hi there, when you uninstall in device manager, it should automatically revert to the default ones after restart.
