About a month ago all of a sudden my PC started behaving sluggy. In Vegas resizing events, changing the fade time on events, moving the play cursor, clicking inside the track view would cause a momentary stutter in the audio.
Now I have built a whole new system with all new parts. The system is as follows:
ASUS P4TE Motherboard
Intel P4 2.4G CPU
512meg RAM
Matrox G550
Promise Fast Track TX2000 Raid Card
Intel Pro100 Network Card
2 RME 9652 Audio Cards
3 RME ADI DS ADDA's
Here are my IRQ's:
0 System Timer
1 Standard 101 Key Keyboard
3 Com 2
4 Com 1
6 Floppy
8 System CMOS Real Time Clock
10 Intel 8280 IBA/BAM SM Bus Controller 2443
12 PS/2 Mouse
13 Numeric Data Processor
14 Primary IDE
15 Secondary IDE
16 Matrox G550
20 ACPI
ALSO
20 Fast Track TX2000
22 RME 9652
23 RME 9652
This new system seems to act as sluggy as my old system had become. Being that my old system was dual Pentium 3 700's and this is now a P4 2.4 performance should have gone up, not down. I am getting a lot of random problems, random because they dont always happen at the same place everytime, though some do. For example, I am getting clicks, pops, and freezes when clicking inside an event window or when resizing a window, saving, resizing events, moving fade points, and changing zoom.
A big freezing problem I am having is more prevalent at 96k than 48k but happens in both: Usually when I hit play the song starts right up after the buffer time just fine but every once in a while it will just sit there and freeze up for up to 20 seconds and then start up as if nothing happened.
The play cursor also moves erratically. Sometimes when it is to travel across a split or crossfade area, especially at 96k, the cursor will move just fine from left to right until right before it gets to the split area at which point it will start travelling right to left and shake back and forth causing clicks and pops, sometimes crashes.
Another problem which seems completely bizarre is that after recording it takes a long long time to build peak files. Sometimes a minute per track!
Also, the system seems to get stuck sometimes when zooming in time. Then after its done freezing it finishes zooming in just like nothing happened.
Now this is probably an RME issue, but I'll put it here anyway. There is a buzz coming out of channel 1 on my RME ADI during playback even though nothing is assingned to that converter unit. The buzz seems to sound different at 48k than 96k.
