Audacity Forum

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

Hi,

how can you take out silent bits (meant drop-outs bits ),
I have alike problem with Asterisk playing audio files.

Thanks, excellent manual.

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

"
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.
