Also if you are not running SAC from an administrator account "force realtime priority" SAC may not actually be elevated above the other tasks.
What's going on is not directly a SAC problem, some other process is stepping on SAC's audio engine.
What hardware and OS are you using?
This week, being more relaxed at home, I'll look at the tasks, but honestly, there wasn't a single task that even reached 0.6%.
As for the hardware, it might be time to upgrade my machine; I'm using an old Intel i5 2500, 16GB of RAM, and a Sandisk SSD.
Interface Digigram LX6464es, Via ethersound with Yamaha Ad8hr preamps.
The problem I had today during the sound check was very curious. Buffer slippage didn't appear, but there was a clicking noise only when something was playing on any channel.
Eventually, SAC would keep closing on its own. I had 24 channels open with a maximum CPU usage of 35%. I always open SAC as administrator. After SAC closed on its own 3 times in less than 10 minutes, I have chosen to remove my system and use the Midas M32 of the Theatre.
I use Windows 10, it is fully optimized and all settings are as described in the manual.
