Choppy playback in Audtion, M-Audio 610

These are my specs-

AMD Phenom II X4 820 processor

8gig RAM

64 bit Windows 7, with Audition 2014 (or 2017)

With M-Audio 610

When I am doing playback the audio will be choppy, like going on and out and there is what can best be described as distortion. Now, weirdness is, sometimes it starts fine and then gets choppy, or it will start choppy and then become clear, and sometimes it is just choppy. Now, if I change the latency from 40 to like 100, it clears up and plays fine.

Now here is a kicker, we replaced this machine above, as in this is the old sound machine that worked fine with a newer machine and that is when we first noticed the choppiness. Couldn't resolve so out the above machine back, where it used to work just fine, and now the machine above is doing the choppy like the new machine was. So truthfully, I think it could be the 610, but wanted to put this here first to see if you guys had any suggestions.

I think you've answered your own question!  Without going into why one machine didn't exhibit this behaviour at first, then another one did and reverting to the first one also produced the problem, the problem of choppy playback is almost invariably due to the setting of the buffer size, which you have called the "latency".

Having found the solution yourself why do you not simply leave that setting at 100 and so avoid the playback difficulties?
