Some other stats: MEASURED INTERRUPT TO USER PROCESS LATENCIES One problem I may have is finding the documentation for tuning the BIOS (AMI ver 0502) which I have yet to locate on the net - anyone know where to grab the docs? Lots of options in the BIOS, few of which are above my paygrade. I may play with buffers again now that the dropouts are somewhat tamed. The other red-zone element is the hard pagefault resolution time (14239 ms), and that was in an SVCHOST instance. But in the driver page, USBPORT has a "highest execution time" of 0.33 ms, so I don't understand the main/driver divergence. This makes sense give the Lexicon Omega is the audio device in use. LatencyMon reports the max latency was 21204 ms from USBPORT.SYS. So, switching that over at least stopped massive dropouts. The embarrasing admission is that I had notice noticed the "See Other" section of the Windows performance screen in Control Panel, where Microsoft had hidden the "Maximum Performance" option (why is it whenever MSFT tries to be slick, they make things for obtuse and difficult?). I'll have to dig through the thread some more. Thanks to for the page to interpret LatencyMon, though I did not locate a concise description. Being an ex-mini mainframe fellow, I only dive into Windows innards when necessary, so I have a bit of a learning curve. So, things are better though LatencyMon still reports a borderline situation. And vladasyn, yes I made changes and backed them out, testing everything that could. 1) How can one isolate the actual cause of the audio engine dropout? 2) Aside from the list of potential causes on the aforementioned web page, what else might be causing a relatively robust machine to choke on a 10 track mix playback? Sometimes the disc load icon goes red, and sometimes it doesn't. I walked down the long laundry list of possible problems found at.

On the new machine, I cannot playback 20 seconds without the engine dying.

I'll note the new machine is a virgin Win7 box, a clean install of Sonar X2 and all other recording software. On the old machine, no audio engine dropouts, though it was getting impossible to mix down a recording. This is beyond frustrating Recently found the time an money to upgrade the studio computer (was a Core Duo, DDM2 laptop, now an i5, DDM3).
