I have already went through that list and and been able to complete most of this list but it hasn't helped at all is their anything else that I can do?

[steve]

How often do these gaps occur?
Can you see any pattern to when they occur?

[JamesFarrow]

their is no pattern sometimes it happens twice within a few seconds and other times it wont happen over a minute

Do you have Sound Activated Recording clicked on?

Edit > Preferences > Recording > Sound Activated Recording. If you have a quiet space in your recording, that's likely to stop recording and then pick up again.

This doesn't have a wall power supply, does it? It gets all of it's operating voltages from the USB cable? Are you going through a USB Hub with other stuff? USB Audio hates that and it will put holes in your music. Try a different USB connection on your computer, or just pull and plug the existing one a couple of times.

Carefully check through what applications and processes are running on your computer. Close all non-essential applications and stop all non-essential processes, then make a test recording.

Sound activated recording is not on, yes their is no power hub the CI 1 gets all its power through the usb cable that is plugged directly into the back of my computer i have tried switching usb ports but it dosent seem to make a difference
