Sound drops out for split second every few minutes.....

Playing music from my laptop to an Ayre Codex via USB then my amp.  Source is Deezer or Tidal.  Connection is ethernet, not Wifi.   I seem to be getting sound drop outs every few minutes.  Can't figure it out.  

Anyone ever encounter anything like this?

Thanks.

You should also try playing from the laptop without the speakers.

Did a BIOS update and that has definitely helped. Still getting higher latency but not as bad. Going to try some of the other steps now.

EDIT:  Doing a search for "Windows 10 latency" yielded a lot of good results.

Updated all drivers and disabled pretty much every piece of hardware I don't use (Wimax, Wifi, etc.).

Latency looks better in LatencyMon presently.  Fingers crossed.

You might give Fidelizer a try.
It can prioritize audio in Windows.
I use it and it seems to improve sound quality significantly.
Plus, the price is not prohibitive.

In fact, I would contact the designer,  

Keetakawee, and tell him what you are experiencing.

He might just know what to do.
