Kontak <--> Audio Sync

[mustech]

Hey group,
I have a client who is using latest DP9 with Kontakt. In a project with a mix of Kontakt backing tracks and vocals, the vocals are playing back ahead of the instruments. The really weird thing is that, every single time this happens (it is a repeating problem), they can manually get them back in sync by shifting the audio later by 70 ticks (always 70). Rather than do that, they can also make the problem go away by restarting the computer.

Any thoughts?

My instincts say "trash prefs" but would appreciate your opinions.

My first thought is plug-in latency. Is Automatic Plug-In Latency Compensation enabled? (Setup->Configure Audio System->Configure Studio Settings)
