Playback audio heavily distorted, plz help

I had the same problem and just realized after reading several forums painfully that my 003 Rack is old and even though Microsoft gave backward compatibility by providing new drivers for windows 10, apparently they dont work. switching to a new audio interface removed all glitches and distortions in audio/vst playback completely. am happy. just thought of sharing this in this forum so others benefit and can save time.
