I have recently experienced a stuttering effect when ever I playback an audio track on Acid and WMP10. This happens in Acid all the time and on WMP10 when ever I have the visualization screen turned on. I here a random number of clicks and stuttering. In Windows Task Bar my CPU usuage jumps between 70% to 100% while my PF Usage stays steady at around 220mb while this is happening. I have 512 of ram. Today while playing WP10 my sound card acquired a mind of its own by jumping from 44.1Khz to 24 and 22 Khz. Consequently WP10 played at the wrong speed when I tried to put it back at 44.1khz. It’s now back OK at 44.1 but I don’t understand why?!?! I have a Wami Rack 192L which is up to date. Is something mucking about with my clock speed? How do I get it to stay put. What could be causing the noise! I don’t think its Acid as it’s happening on WMP10 as well. I would welcome some feedback on this please! Peter. |

Are you using the ESI E-WDM drivers? Perhaps you have the latency set too low. The fact that your CPU is maxing out at 100% is certainly not a good thing. How fast a processor do you have? I have an M-Audio Firewire 410 and it jumps sample frequencies like that too. I don’t think Windows XP handles outboard audio devices very well. Make sure you turn off your system sounds. Sometimes this is the cause of the sample rate jumping. ~jr Message last edited on3/1/2005 1:20:48 PM byJohnnyRoy. |

Adding to what JohnnyRoy said, if your audio interface lets you unlock the sample rate (which it probably does), try that. Sometimes locking the sample rate can cause problems. Iacobus ------- RodelWorks - Original Music for the Unafraid Buy Instant ACID by JohnnyRoy and mD! mD at ACIDplanet |
