Open Windows Sound , Recording tab. Play a tape. Is the meter in Windows Sound to right of the interface dancing up and down? If the meter dances, make sure the device is default recording device in Windows Sound (if not, right-click over it and choose "Set as Default Device"). Press Windo...

I don't fully understand what the Intel Device is - it does not appear to be display audio from what I see online. What happens if you make "S27D390 (High Definition Audio)" the default playback device in Windows Sound, restart Audacity, then make the playback device in Audacity "S27D...

Isn't that just to fix playback errors? Would that imply that the error only exists when played back in Audacity? Maybe only on my machine? I can confirm that the error is still present on my editor's machine using pro-tools also The buffer fix primarily fixes clicky playback, but can also fix clic...
