Thanks! We tested this internally with a dragonfly, but haven't been able to replicate this yet.
Does the issue occur with all 'hi-res' tracks or only those with specific characteristics? Can you share one with us?
If you play the same set of tracks with another player via WASAPI drivers, do you observe a similar issue?
Lastly, do you also observe this issue with MediaMonkey 4 (just wondering if it's a regression or a long-standing bug)?
Thanks!

I would like to add the following similar issues with WASAPI output on MM5 (MM4 works fine). Windows 10, AudioQuest DragonFly, FLAC files.
WASAPI <Exclusive Mode Off> / < Smooth Stop Off> :
1)Sometimes playback will stop when <Next File> is pressed (Play Shuffled On)
WASAPI <Exclusive Mode On> / <Automatic choice of format per track> / Playing list contains files of various sampling rates (e.g. 44100 and 96000) :
1) Pressing <Stop> and <Play> will result in volume being set to max
2) When the <Next File> sampling rate doesn't match the one currently playing, the volume is set to max when next file starts playing (Play Shuffled On)
WASAPI <Exclusive Mode On> / <Use format of original track> / Playing list contains files of various sampling rates (e.g. 44100 and 96000) :
1) All the above issues +
2) When the <Next File> sampling rate is lower than currently playing one [e.g. from 96000 to 44100] you get loud hiss and crackling in playback when the next file starts playing (Play Shuffled On)
