Hi - I'm admittedly a novice user but when I try to work on audio under the Fairlight tab (and only when in the Fairlight tab) the audio will either not play or become severely choppy and even degrade in quality during playback, making voices sound robotic like characters from Dr Who.
However, this issue never happens when I playback files in the Cut or Edit tabs, everything behaves as it should - audio & video play fine. Even with Chrome open and a load of active tabs, there's no issues at all until I try to use Fairlight and then things fall apart and the problem seems to become system wide.
For example, I ran a test where I opened a YouTube video and as soon as I try to play audio in Fairlight the YouTube video will heavily lag and the audio in Fairlight will stutter and also degrade in quality, voices will sound robotic etc. Spotify will also stop working properly as soon as I try to work in Fairlight and playback some audio. I opened task manager during this and there's nothing showing as using up the systems resources much either.
This was just a test, I know it isn't recommended to play YouTube vids etc when editing video, I just wanted to see how bad the issue is.
I have tried different I/O engine options under preferences/video and audio I/O, makes no difference.
I also edit audio as part of my day job using Adobe Audition, and that runs perfectly fine.
This same PC is also used to stream gaming on Twitch in 1080p, no issues there either regardless if it's a resource heavy game or not.
I would really appreciate any help I can get with this, as I'm really starting to enjoy using DaVinci Resolve.
Thank you
