random loss of audio

[Kate Hurrell]

I too have forgotten about those setting which could well have helped, however in between posts I had purchased another sound card which fingers crossed has solved the problem. It would seem that my on-board sound card although only ten months old had either developed a fault or was set through Hoster incorrectly but I have now bypassed this and run through my new sound card for three nights without fault.

dbl trbl, because this was regular I had already tried your suggestion one night and ran for one hour before deciding it was going to behave then it stopped twice in the same night! George & Gduns have come up with some very useful advise which I think you should try before spending out like I did before your problem develops into something bigger - just a thought :-)

Also I had mentioned that my countdown timer stops when I lose audio (which it still unanswered as too why), does this happen with you?

Thank you all and wish me luck, lol!

Kate,
If the Countdown timer stopped during the dropout, the only thing that can cause this to stop is something is taking the processor power. This then does not allow the thread to update (controlling this part of the software) and then your counter stops.

Now whats causing this, there is no telling other than something running in the background on your system.
