Audio keeps cutting out on playback

Literally every playback I do on Premiere Pro the audio keeps cutting out. And yes I have read previous discussion posts on this, the disturbingly large number of them (so don;t pretend this is new Adobe), and yes I have tried all the suggestions (wav files, sequence setting, my PC is pretty high spec, clear the media cache files (which I do every bloody time) etc etc) but PPro, brilliant that it is with visuals, highly impressed, is sadky f-ing useless with Audio. I pay a lot of money for my licence, I expect better and for this software I shouldn't have to be doing a long list of workarounds and checks (which dont work anyway), it should be f-ing work with the basic task of playing audio. I don't get it, the audio files are the smallest size of the files added to a segment, so you'd think it was the one thing it would play back, or could be set to play back, ok?. I try to line up stuff in the editing and can't because it constantly cuts out. I have seen loads of posts about this why the hell aren't Adobe fixing it?
