Tone Cable issues w/ Windows 10

[edp228]

I apologize if this has been asked, and hopefully answered before, but is there a way to make Windows 10 STOP doing whatever it does to the tone cable in the middle of songs?  I was having issues with the tone cable acting up on an old laptop.  I bought a new laptop and a new tone cable, but am having the same issues.  Initially, the tone cable does what it is supposed to do, but in the middle of a song, it freezes for a split second, then continues.  The only problem is that most of the time it does this, the notes afterward come up as misses, regardless of playing them correctly or not and the sound is gone.  I have to either pause the song, or quickly change USB ports while playing to make it work again.  After this, it may go the rest of the time I play or repeat the same issue in 5-10 minutes.

 

Has anyone figured out a fix to this issue?  If so, what did you do?  I am currently running the most updated version of Windows 10.

 

 

Thank you,

Maybe powersaving on USB?

It should not power down ofc as long as you play, but ofc you never know with Bill Gates.

what makes you think it's the cable?  do you see the usb icons changing, or have you only diagnosed it through the drop in the audio?  it could be software issues.  i found rocksmith very unstable and laggy on a lower-end laptop without a decent graphics card, so built a little desktop to run it, and can run at full graphics now.
