Strange audio/playback issue in Dorico; "beating" noise in sound

This is an export, directly from within dorico, from a different project. same problem.

Am noticing now that here, the tempo is higher than within dorico which in my experience indicates a sample rate issue. They are however synchronised at 48000 Hz between windows and dorico so I’m at a loss

ca. 320 clicks/min

Why do you use the Generic Low Latency driver? You have so many audio devices there that you can choose from, FireFace, etc.
And I wonder, the driver reports back that it can only do 48kHz, nothing else, but usually the built-in Realtek devices offer a wider range of sample rates.

The generic driver used to work fine. I usually use a dedicated asio driver from my focusrite interface when I am home but I am travelling right now. Do you have any recommendations for non-asio drivers? I know about ASIO4ALL at least.

This is what it sais in Dorico at 48000 Hz

When selecting 44100 Hz all the options below disappear:

This is how it looks like in windows settings (no other options besides 48000 Hz and 16 bits);

You could try the new Steinberg Built-in ASIO driver. It is based on the Generic Low Latency driver, but offers now automatic sample rate conversion.
You can download it from here

Ahhh that fixed the issue, thank you so much!

You are more than welcome :smiley:

I experience exactly this issue when the PC is set to “Allow apps to access your microphone”. If you switch that off and restart or reboot (I can’t remember which is required) it should be fine.
