It's worse with audio cache off. Really not playing ball with me at the moment. Would switching to audacity 1.2. be any better?

Hi Gale, I switched to 16bit and couldn't notice any differences in quality so stuck with that and the problem lessened. However it has come back even with 16 bit. I did switch to audio cache to deal with skipping in the end mp3 so i shall try switching it off again. Have set the latency to 1000ms a...

Hi Gale, Yeah the logic was that i didn't have a line in to the computer so i brought the onyx as it had a built in sound card+usb output+good quality preamps.

Despite me ballsing up my soundmax driver the onyx imput is registered by audacity so that isn't the problem. One thing i have noticed is that the...

Hi guys, thanks for swift response. Hard drive was full of space and not fragmented. However there were a ridiculous number of processes running using up all my cpu - would this have caused the problem? Have now dleted all useless programs (except accidently my soundmax driver which i'll need to mag...

I have set input and output to the onyx device in the toolbar in Audacity (though ...
