Interesting, so I'm just seeing if anyone else has come across this:
I've been using Vegas 6 since it was released, and just recently upgraded my computer to a dual Opteron 285 beast. I started using the ASIO drivers for my sound card, and it ran just fine with no problems for about a month. Then, just today, I noticed that my frame rates were dropping to about 22-25fps, even with an empty timeline. Put a DV avi file on the timeline, same thing. Put an avi file on the timeline with no audio, same thing. What I found out was that the video frame rates were lagging because Vegas was playing the video file at about 1.3 normal speed, even though the audio was playing perfectly. The end effect of this most comical but frustrating thing was that the timeline marker would go past the end of all the timeline events, but the audio would continue playing (because the video was sped up, the timeline marker was also going faster than normal). Turn on the Windows Classic Wave Driver and everything now works as expected.
I'm just passing the bean bag around here, but has anyone else experienced this Twilight Zone event? Is the solution really to just stop using the ASIO drivers? Do they just suck or what?
Thanks folks,
