Sound drops out for split second every few minutes.....


Playing music from my laptop to an Ayre Codex via USB then my amp.  Source is Deezer or Tidal.  Connection is ethernet, not Wifi.   I seem to be getting sound drop outs every few minutes.  Can't figure it out.  

Anyone ever encounter anything like this?

Thanks.

Sounds like you've fixed your problems by going back to Win 8, but one more observation. I have Win 10 on a desktop which I occasionally use for recording and mixing with an older version of the Adobe Audition program. While the program ran fine on prior computers, it suffered some drop-outs and interruptions on the new PC with Win 10. The problem was fixed by going into settings and changing the priority to its highest level for Audition. Most programs don't really care if there is the odd pause here and there in  CPU processing as its tries to balance the various operating demands, but that doesn't work well for audio. Changing the priority settings fixed that for me.
