New to the forum and hoping that I can get some help with a problem.
I'm a home recording hobbyist, writing/recording my own instrumental. guitar centred "proggish" rock.
My DAW is Studio One Professional and my system is a HP Laptop with
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10510U CPU @ 1.80GHz 2.30 GHz
Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.8 GB usable)
Device ID 2A1ADE7A-5F49-49F1-B986-4A266BE4CEDE
Product ID 00330-80000-00000-AA969
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Windows 10 Pro
Interface is Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 gen 2 (USB).
For many months it was working seamlessly but lately (maybe the last 3-4 months) I have been having real big problems. When recording in Studio One, I have to have the device block size at the maximum 1024samples to enable playback without pops, stutters etc. Obviously this results in massive latency. I used to be able to record at around 192samples which provided reasonable latency of around 8-9ms.
This seems to have gotten even worse and I get the pops and stutters even when listening to Spotify or any other media. One weird thing I notice is that when it gets bad, and unusuable (unlistenable even on Spotify), if I pull out the USB cable out of the port and put it back in is seems to fix the problem temporarily.
I have removed and reinstalled with the latest drivers and that seemed to make it better but only for a while. Tried all the different USB ports on the laptop.
Any help/advice would be very much appreciated.

Did you optimize your Windows settings for audio?
I mean disabling turbo boost in BIOS and all the other stuff that you can easily find searching "optimize windows for audio".
Sometimes with a new automatic Windows-BIOS update, the settings can be changed resulting in a different behavior of your system.
Then double check all your Windows, BIOS settings.

Weird thing,
I've run latency mon many many many times and every time it shows red and says there is a problem with a driver that I cant remember (ATI?) and when I look it up it is a critical windows component and Im plum out of luck.
When you posted I ran latencymon again for for the first time ever, it came up all green and all good, but I was listening to Spotify at the time and it was popping and glitching badly.

VERY old school I know but, have you disable Windows Sounds? These used to be said to break in and change settings but I don't know if that still applies. Have you disabled the internal 'sound card'?

As embarrassing as this might be, I just disabled the onboard card and so far it seems to be behaving itself. Ive had this before though when I thought I had fixed it.
Fingers crossed that it was that simple.
