This ones for Shawn Brock and any other interested individuals.
I read your post regarding audio track drop-outs and I thought this information
from Twelve Tone Systems might help. The link for this info and more is:

Here's the page for your info.

Audio has Unexpectedly Dropped Out
The information in this article applies to:
List of 7 items

• SONAR 4 Studio Edition
• SONAR 3 Producer Edition
• SONAR 3 Studio Edition
• SONAR 2
• SONAR 1
• SONAR Home Studio Version 4

If SONAR suddenly stops producing audio during recording or playback followed
by the appearance of a red dropout indicator light, you've very likely
experienced
a dropout. Sometimes instead of a dropout, you may experience a stutter during
playback (a small section of audio repeats itself once or twice before normal
playback resumes). Or, you may occasionally experience a glitch or pop during
audio playback (a brief interruption or clicking noise is heard, but audio
playback then continues normally from that point).
Eliminating Dropouts
List of 7 items
1. Complete all the steps listed in the SONAR Help file under the category
Dropouts and Other Audio Problems.
2. There may be a bad setting in the AUD.INI file. Try one of the following
methods:
Easy Method - Close SONAR and delete the AUD.INI file from the SONAR folder.
After restarting SONAR you may need to point the app to your WaveData folder.
(Options | Audio | Advanced Tab | Data Directory field)
Advanced Method - Close SONAR. Open SONAR's AUD.INI file in Notepad. Delete
everything listed beneath the line PictureDir=C:\Cakewalk Projects\Picture
Cache.
Save the file and restart SONAR.
3. Go to Options | Audio | General and move the Latency slider toward the Safe
setting.
4. Click on the Advanced tab and set the I/O Buffer Size to 256.
5. Open a file that has this problem and run the Tools | Compact Audio Data
command.
6. Make sure nothing else is running while SONAR is open. Choose Start | Run
and type MSCONFIG. Click OK, then click on the Startup tab at the upper right
of the window that opens. Uncheck all items listed, click OK, then restart your
computer. You can always recheck those items again at a later time.
7. If, and only if, you have an UltraDMA hard drive, make sure it's in DMA
mode. Go to Control Panel | System | Device Manager and click the plus next to
Disk Drives. Double click on your hard drive, click Settings, and make sure the
DMA box is checked. If it is not, check it, restart, and make sure it stays
checked.
