One of my challenges is that the problem is intermittent. I've been resolving the issue by stopping and resuming playback - not even restarting JRMC. But I will see, next time it happens, if I can leave JRMC running while I disable MWB.
Maybe I need to either go back to a "sneaker net" system or remove MWB and just live with the consequences of malware. It wouldn't be the end of the world to re-image as I don't have many programs loaded.

The intermittent problems can be the worst! The worst for me is when they happen often enough that I can't ignore them but not often enough to have a real chance of finding them. Reducing buffer sizes is a way to make the problems happen more frequently, possibly making diagnosis easier.
One way to get more information on Windows is to use the task manager to look at various processes, especially system processes. Look at CPU utilization, reads and writes, memory size, page faults. Get a feel for what the numbers look like when things are running well so that the problem items will be more visible when you hear glitches.
The DPC latency is another tool. You can try to correlate its behavior with glitches, and if you see this correlation then its a good bet that you have a driver problem. Disable various drivers and see what happens.

That should get me started, hopefully on the road to a remedy.
Yes, Tony has a great recommendation here.
For really stubborn glitches, you sometimes need to look at more detailed information on individual processes in real time. You go to the Task Manager and view all processes at once, and you can add or remove different metrics from the various columns of data provided.
Useful ones already showing are CPU utilization.
While in task manager if you go to "View" and then "Select Columns", add PF, PF Delta and all starting with "I/O".
Watch all the processes live and breathe - and perhaps notice corollary between a specific process and dropouts.
If you can figure out what the process is, you're almost there. If it's a specific program or driver it can be an easy fix. If it's a system process like csrss.exe it can be more difficult to track down.
Cheers,
Presto
