Sound problem

Sinds a coppel of weaks I have a new pc.
When mairlist runs I sometimes get an strange error.
The music stops and wait’s for sometime and continues.
There is no crash but this is ferry irritating.
I don’t think its an fault of mairlist but where cant I find the course of this problem, is there a log somewhere?

Probably related to sound card buffer settings and/or options.

Please tell us a little bit more about your setup, are you using DirectSound, WASAPI or ASIO?

I have 2 mariane pci soundcards (marc4midi)
The run on an win 7 32 bit machine
And evrything is set to wasapi last week it happens 2 time in a show of 2 hoor, it stop’s then for 30 sec -1 min and continu’s this week one’s.
If it happens the encoder and the recording keep running.
Windows is a New setup, all the earo stuff is switcht off

I take it you’re using the latest audio drivers, and any anti-virus software on the computer has scheduled virus scanning turned off.

There is no virus scanner and the audio drivers are the latest from marian (the Just have one win vista driver) and the soundcards have used in the latest 4 pc’s.

Does it perform the issue at the same time, each time, or is it more random when it actually occurs?

Has it been performing fine, until a recent update or mAirList build update?

My thought is trying to pin it down to possibly a background task in Windows causing the issue, or a recent update to either Windows or mAirList. Although it could be the drivers buffer as Torben said, so I would consider looking at the sound card’s settings normally within the driver’s control panel.

It happens random.
And it started after rebuilding a new pc (everything is the same only a new motherboard)
In the past i had sometimes a freeze of mairlist and the only thing that always was running was the soundcard.
First I take the windows from the old pc and reinstall the motherboard drivers, but after a few stops I reinstall windows And the problem stays.

Ok, so you’ve got a fresh install of Windows?

Do you still have the onboard soundcard enabled? Perhaps if you have, you might want to first uninstall the onboard sound card drivers, then reboot and enter the bios, to disable the onboard sound card (audio device) completely.

That should prevent any possible conflict. Then see how it performs from there.
