Song Stops, Using 5.40.03

[Wrahn]

Once in a while when playing a song the song stops as if it came to an end and the next song title on the playlist is highlighted.

Mostly if occurs when I first turn on my laptop (Win7). If I play the song right after the problem the song will play normally, but Hoster might act up on another song.

It seems the longer the laptop is playing, the less often the problem occurs.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Wes

Strange problem. What kind of sound card do you have? You may want to try to upgrade the driver for the sound card. Is this a new installation of Hoster? I see you have 2 computers listed. Does this problem only occur on one of the computers?

Walt,

Thanks for the quick response. I may not have explained the problem correctly. When the song stops both audio and graphics disappear.

No, I've not checked the other computer since it's my backup, however, I'll check it out.

Since I'm not pro, when the problem has occurred it has not caused a big problem for me, but I do worry about it.

Thanks,
Wes

There have been some reports that "Graphic and Audio" problems can occur. They may be fixed by updating your graphics card driver.

• Are the songs that play up on an external drive or on your internal ?
• Do you load the same playlist each time you start ? If so is it always the same songs that it happens to ?
• Does it happen if you start with a new empty playlist and reload each track afresh ?

Also if you can check if your backup acts the same might help us diagnose the problem.

ANSWERS:
1. I use the internal drive.

2. Yes, when I load the same playlist it occurs, but on different songs

3. I created a new playlist and it still occurred on different songs.

4. I checked my backup laptop, and the same thing occurred.

I also checked my Realtek Audio Driver and it's current. My laptop doesn't have a stand alone graphics card, so I didn't look for a driver.

I also ran register cleaner, and also optimized my hard drive and finally upgraded to the latest version of Hoster, But, I still had problems.

Then I remembered I used TOOLS to changed some Audio Setting in order to do a quicker key change and to activate VOCAL function quicker. Like a dummy I didn't write down the default numbers for "Playback Offset", or for "Preset Audio Dropouts", so, I don't know what the default settings are supposed to be? I also can't find that information in the manual.

Thanks for your concerns and any help you can give,
Wes
