Hoster Skipping/studdering

[frode]

I have the same problem and same spec as this user, id be glad to help check for these bugs/errors.

Video Hoster 5.05

I have a Acer Laptop with windows7 premium, 8 gig ram, over 50% free space on C: and 80% free on d:.

CPU: intel Core I7 Q720 dual core 1.6ghz
Screencard: ATI Mobility Radeon HD5850 1024mb

However this happend when i installed hoster like 2 updated versions ago, so when i saw the last update i hoped it would fix the problem, since rolling back to previous versions isn't my choice of action.

I have checked by deactivating all automatic services like antivirus and all, Still no fix of the problem. The Lyrics gets out of sync when the music studders and people complain about not beeing able to sing right.

I have allso defragged my disk so that is not an issue, i have tried sevral screencard drivers, with no luck, i even tryed another soundcard driver and even an external soundcard to fix this problem but no luck.

So here we are, tell me now what to check....

We are beta testing an audio upgrade for this at the moment as stated above by admin, you will have to be a bit patient until it is released but it looks promising.

I'll throw in another observation here that may be totally unrelated to the discussion-or not.
Since about version 4.11 I have been running Hoster on a Macbook Pro while using Bootcamp with Windows 7 Pro installed. I did all the recommended changes to Windows 7 before using Hoster and, after getting all the video settings worked out, I have never experienced a stutter or audio dropout that I am aware of. Currently, I am running 505.12 and have a party next week so hopefully that will go smoothly as well. I do disable Symantec during use of Hoster and don't have anything else open or intentionally running.

We released 5.06 Beta 7 last night. We are now making these additional recommendations you should follow.


REQUIREMENTS: Shut down the following programs:

• Change your "Power Management" (Control Panel) to the LEAST obtrusive on applications, and leave it that way (DClark found this was interrupting at "Real Time" level, and definitely caused dropouts).
  
  
• Anti-virus programs you know to be a problem from the past
  
  
• Skype
  
  
• Email
  
  
• All browsers (especially Chrome!)
  
  
• All other applications except what you might run at a show
  
  
• Reboot Windows to clean it up

In version 5.06, we have made many improvements to overcome audio dropouts, and they now look promising.

Version 5.06 is focused on fixing the audio dropouts you all are experiencing. We found and fixed "real reasons" for some dropouts. We also added a feature you can adjust so your computer won't drop audio. A few Betas tested Beta 7 last night and the results are promising.

We do not knowingly ship versions that drop audio! Some posts here state you have heard audio dropouts even back to 5.03. In the future, please create a new Thread (like this one) to tell us your Hoster XXX.XX version is dropping audio. The sooner we know this, the sooner we WILL fix it.
