Is it the same card reader on the laptop and on the PC? Does it do the same if you load the sounds from the SSD or from a different SD card reader?
Did you try disabling the anti virus temporarily?
Did you try unplugging all USB peripherals and closing all other programs? (like an audio configuration program from the default sound device or unplugging the USB DAC even if it's not selected)
Does it work when playing the sounds with DSoundTool or DKit Manager?

Edit: Is there any 5.1 or surround feature on the laptop? If the audio device is set to 5.1 try stereo.

There's a chance if more people request it but the good news is that you can already export from it semi-manually by setting the mapping to Superior Drummer in Perfect Drums. It's possible to export this way from any drum VST even if it's not supported, it's described in the SDSE manual in "Exporting from unsupported VSTs" here. I'll send you a message with more details.

I'm glad that the velocity switch option is useful edcito!

Walse, I sent you a PM with a version to test exporting 3 zone snares

Hi Walse,
The current version can already be used for the DrumIt Three and exporting to 3 zone snare .dsnd will be added in a future version. If you have a 3 zone snare pad it's possible to set Options > Zones > snare articulation: sidestick to export a snare to a regular snare .dsnd with rim + a separate .dsnd for the sidestick.

A new version of SDSE is available

• support for Superior Drummer 3.1
• support for Ocean Way Drums Platinum/Gold for Kontakt with V-Drum mapping (one piece at a time) - thanks to Ryan
• AD2: support for the Boutique Mallets ADpak
• Abbey Road/Studio Drummer: fix for Kontakt 5.7.3
• SSD4: fixed exporting when the SSD4 sounds library is on a read-only network drive
• Mac/Parallels: fixed issue that could produce .dsnd files with samples in the wrong order on Mac with Parallels

Hi, make sure to enable "split in multiple files" in SDSE > Options > Render. It should produce a folder for each articulation with individual wav samples. When this setting is disabled it produces bigger .wav files that contain all the samples for one articulation. In these files there's a little bit of silence before the first hit and the files are much bigger so it would explain the delay.
