I'm getting a lot of looks from my clientele and they aren't smiles. I truly hope this problem gets resolved soon. I love Hoster and don't want to leave!

I know you say you tried everything in this thread but the one thing that helped Jonpyle was his audio driver update as shown in post #55 of this thread. Now if you search for the updated driver using the windows update driver button from properties it most likely tell you they are up to date. The latest driver for Realtech high definition audio for Vista and Windows 7 on the Realtech site is dated 2011/12/16 so check this date against your driver. This link describes how to update your drivers via the Realtech site: http://www.driverupdate.net/new_lp/r...structions.php
Ignore the link for the driver update software, just read the instructions for doing it yourself.
You can then decide if you want to try that or rely on one of the paid software driver updaters.

All my drivers are up to date. Still studdering.

Dale.. I have tried not turning BA on at all and ran CCleaner. No luck. Are you having this problem yourself?

For Hoster 5.06, we have spent weeks of time researching this audio drop out/stammer problem.

Whave discovered the following:

1. Some computers have a "Power Monitor" utility that runs at what appears to be "System Level" Priority. This means no application can hold it off. Very arrogant of them, and on what should be an "idle process" at best!

We noticed that when we hear a drop out; the Task Manager Processes Tab shows this program jump to the top at the same time.

2. Just as above, "Google Chrome" also can take control at the highest priority that Hoster can't overcome (currently). If this is running, it too will cause audio dropouts.


We just sent out 5.06 Beta 6 tonight for out Testers to try. I run an XP SP3 with 2GB RAM and a Core 2 Duo, and was dropping audio ALL the time. With Beta 6, I no longer hear the dropouts. The changes we made are a result of 2+ weeks of research, and they seem to be working. We'll soon know as our Betas will be rejoicing with us... or not.

I am not surprised. The 'idle' process is often the busiest process on my PCs. Fingers crossed that this will solve the problem for most if not all the people having this issue.
