Metronome glitch, and audio going nuts!!

Well, the main reason I'm posting is because of a new problem I'm experiencing with audio on playback that will all of a sudden cut out, skip terribly (like a digital buzz), and playback erratically. Not just the everyday pops & clicks problems if you have IRQ problems, but very random stop/play playback. Alll of a sudden tracks will appear, then dissappear, then skip like crazy... I have no idea what's going on here. I can't think of anything that's changed on my system for this to start happening from. Anybody else experience this?

And so I guess I should re-post my metronome glitch that I've had for a while. If I save a project at 142 BPM for example, then re-open Vegas, click the metronome on, and hit playback, the metronome plays back clicks of 120 BPM regardless of what the settings say the time is. So everytime I do this, I have to go to the project properties, hit the BPM up or down 1 BPM, hit apply, then change it back to 142 BPM, and everythings fine. It's just annoying.

Thank You,

The metronome issue in Vegas 5 is a documented bug but unfortunately it seems to be quite low on the priority list for fixes. Yes, its very annoying!

I figured out the crazy problem if anyone's interested- I transferred my project, with all of it's wave files, from my designated music drive(s- they are RAIDed together) to my system drive C, and the project worked without any glitching whatsoever. Apparently there is something going on with one or both of my IDE RAID drives. Upon closer inspection, when transferring more files, I could hear a strange sound coming from one of the RAIDed drives as if something was wrong physically. It seems the data transfer on playback couldn't keep up, or was glitching for some reason... anyway, things seem to run fine again... and along the way with troubleshooting I realized the DDR ram in my system were both set in the same channel DIMMs, and weren't doubling! So, good came from the bad I suppose.
