Drop outs

Post by enfield250 » Fri Jul 09, 2010 3:31 pm

Hello!
I'm having a problem with drop outs. Whilst playing a record the recording stops for about 0.1 sec then continues. It sounds as if the tone arm is jumping but it doesn't happen at the same place everytime. It is about every 30 secs though. I've tried weighting the tone arm to see if that is the problem but to no avail. Is this a common problem, I can take out the silent bits but it is time consuming and annoying. Any ideas please.

Cheers

Thanks, excellent manual.

In my case, Deferred Procedure Calls (DPCs) Latency Checker

generated the following report

"
Some device drivers on this machine behave bad and will probably cause drop-outs in real-time audio and/or video streams. To isolate the misbehaving driver use Device Manager and disable/re-enable various devices, one at a time. Try network and W-LAN adapters, modems, internal sound devices, USB host controllers, etc.
