Playback Lagging/Stuttering.. Audio issue?
semajha Oct 15, 2010 11:37 PMBy stutter, I mean video and audio playback is choppy. I just don't get it, I'm not doing anything or pushing it too hard. At the moment, I have 4 avchd clips on my timeline, with a music audio track on top of it. Playback was working extremely smooth, my memory is only maxing around 3.50 GB and CPU usage spikes to 60% but steadies out around 15% as the clip plays. There's no color grading or any fx added.
When this first happened, I thought Foobar2000 might be have been the cause of this because I had it opened and playing music at the same time. Well on my 2nd time around, I made sure to have no other programs running, just Premiere Pro. As I'm playing the footage, it starts to stutter but what's weird is not only does video playback stutter inside Premiere but when I opened back up foobar, the audio stutters in that app as well!
What could be the cause of this?
This is happening at random and I can't seem to replicate it... It kinda just happens on it's own. When the audio issue occurs, it not only affects playback within the software, but any other media playback such as foobar, youtube, etc.
Some information on my audio setup... I currently have two soundcards. One external Konnekt 24D soundcard and the intergraded UD3R mobo soundcard. When this issue first happened, I was using my external sound card, so I figured premiere might not like the audio driver for my konnekt 24d. Restarted my computer and used the intergrated soundcard(headphone output), same issue occurs. The audio track on my sequencer was an .mp3 and avchd video footage I have is from a Canon t2i if that matters.
I've ran hitman pro(malware), avast(antivirus), various hard drive diagnostic tools(hdtune, seatools), memtest86+ version 4.10 for 10 hours and everything appears to be fine. On Real Temp 3.60, the highest temps for my cpu cores max out around 73 C on full load. The only thing that I could think of that would worry me is my motherboards MCH. It easily gets up to 58 C probably more under heavy usage but I would know because in order to check on my MCH, I have to be in the BIOS.
