Sounds like your computer may be getting slower to respond. Time to clean it up, defrag it, etc. Have you done any other updates (Microsoft) lately?

It might be your external soundcardd if you are using one.

no i am not using an ext. soundcard..i might end up using one if i can't get this thing fix..

i have exhausted every resources i could think of, followed MTU's troubleshooting guide and none of them helped.., i couldn't get rid of the audio drop outs, i thought that my int. soundcard is going bad, but i've ran itunes, wmp, and some dj programs i have on this laptop and i didnt get any audio dropouts...just Hoster. i got the audio dropout followed by out of sync fixed, only the audio dropout i couldn't get rid of..

Have you tried restoring your computer to an earlier date before this trouble started ?
This is always reversible so well worth a try.

Biggest difference there would be that Hoster uses both Audio and Video simultaneous where the other programs are using only Audio.
Have you tried redownloading and reinstalling Hoster?

Have you done a Check disk ?
From Start/Run Type Chkdsk.exe.
Check also that all your installed ram is registering, in system properties.

Other than that do as Dale suggested but uninstall first.

i've tried both of your suggestions, i installed/ re-installed Hoster and did a checked disc/ looked for bad sector, system restored back to feb. 11, did all manufactures updates, ( drivers, Bios etc. ) microsoft updates, and non of them helped, i've tried all the playback off-set ( -+ ) i just got tired,i've worked on this all weekend, don't know what else to check..

that's the first thing that came to my mind, and i did that, ran reg. mechanic, did the micro.updates..right now i am trying to do some driver updates from Dell..the funny thing was there are some songs that won't have dropouts, and some will have a no audio for a mil of a sec....
