brokeinside,
I believe I responded to you before as we both have the same processor.

Please forgive my typing and grammer if it's not up to snuff but the Lakers won (damn it) and I've had several adult beverages.

Try in Vegas, options > preferences > audio, playback buffering (seconds)= 0.61 or there abouts.

The stock 0.25 setting is much too low for my 550 but all's well at the above setting and have to live with the latency.

Guys,

Is this C-Port, a chip on your motherboard or a real soundcard? I am going to assume it is a chip and therein probably lies your problem. Upgrade to a brand name card with brand name drivers (M-Audio, RME, Echo) and this issue will most likely disappear.

I've had a similar problem -- I recorded VHS to MiniDV, then caputured to VV. I get random distorted loud clicks that are usually less than a frame in length. The really weird thing is that even after I have used an audio envelope to eliminate them, they will occasionally come back somewhere else in the timeline. I wonder if my hard drive is the culprit? Also, while I know that VV does not alter the media files, but could it be doing something to corrupt the file?

My problem is slightly different.

When playing the tracks back it gets progressively slower and about every 4 seconds has some under-water-dot-dot-dot sounds happening.

I'm getting tired of VV3. Every time I turn around there is some problem like this.

I have the following:

win2k, m-audio delta1010 in a loaded new machine with tons of ram.

(CuzinB) it isnt a chip, it's a soundcard that is very simular too the delta1010 but has a headphone jack and two built in preamp. And your right my buffering is set at .25 but im gonna try it out at the .60 setting like you suggested (mjhig)but I am running all the software and plug-ins and recording all the audio all to the same one harddrive so I was thinking that may be the case as well (mrp) ???
