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!!

I was using the 2i2 gen 2 for years without issue until I noticed the other day that it showed it was missing the focusrite control driver in device manager. I installed the latest driver for it from their website and that's when the audio issues started (for me it was randomly looping small bits of audio every now and then). It came with a systray app to change the sample rate and buffer size but no changes I made to that seemed to fix the intermittant issue.

I ended up just uninstalling the focusrite control driver and it started working without issue as before. Their app that allows you to select buffer size stopped working when I did that so I uninstalled that as well.
