I remember receiving advice on this forum to go to MIDI/Audio > Device Setup > Audio Setup and there to choose the highest buffer size and the lowest sample rate for trouble free playback/audio export in F 25.5. I don't use playback a lot, but I have found that while the buffer size advice has been sound the lowest sample rate causes all sorts of unevenness of fast notes in playback of a large vocal and orchestral score. Instead I have chosen the second highest sample rate of 88200 Hz, which seems to work fine, although doing this makes the exported 90 minute .aiff file 1.95 GB (easy enough to convert to smaller MP3 in iTunes, though).

I thought this might be of passing interest.

AFAIK, Finale is 16/96.
