A quick question:

Was this audio problem present from the start of the driver development or
is their a significantly earlier version that doesn't have this problem?
I'd like to help hunt for "what might have changed" if there was a time when
the audio was smooth when reading (non-cached) direct from the driver to a
player.

Thanks,

-Jeff
