Sound Glitches
BabyFace:
Whenever I start MC after being idle for hours, there will be a 1-2 second muting of the music after 1-5 minutes of use. There will also be random glitches here and there from doing things with the computer.
I did have MC14 installed on my old slower processor and XP and did not have these problems at all, nor did I have these issues running MC12 on the old system.
My current system is an Intel 975 i7 processor, Gigabyte mb and 12gb ram running Windows 7 Ultimate x64. Since MC14 ran fine on the old system, I don't believe there is an MC14 problem. I'm using WASAPI on a PCI sound card to my audio system (digital coax) and am using the mb sound for local PC speakers. I've had this issue when I had the sound cards swapped. (why does system info say Pentium III ?)
I have the latest drivers from Gigabyte for my mb and I've flashed the bios to the latest version. I have the Microsoft Security running, no Zonealarm or Norton Anti-Virus anymore. I have the latest drivers for my video card (nothing special).
I'm about out of ideas other than buying a different brand mb... Does anyone have any experience with this or suggestions? Thanks.

Use Task Manager to see what your CPU useage is. If it is high, that would explain the glitches. I've seen issues with some programs when resuming from sleep that suddenly want to gobble up CPU time...

See the link called "Weird Problems" in my signature. There are many sound problems and solutions there.

Thanks, I'll check it out. I found a disk imaging program that causes a 1 second mute every time I start a backup, which is good because now that I can duplicate it at will, I can start pulling cards and processes one at a time hoping to find the cause.

My cpu has never gone over 50% that I've ever seen. I seem to have way more processing power than I need (so far). I'll figure this out, even if means getting another mb after exhausting all other hardware/software issues. Since I can duplicate it at will now, I can approach it in a systematic manner.
I am running True Launch Bar which I see someone else has trouble with. I'll start shutting that down this evening and try it. I was using TLB on my old system without issue though.
