Drop outs, and stuttering Sound Blaster Recon3D PCie Window 8 32bit.

There are other much older threads on this subject but none I could find with the above combination.
My PC environment:
N2M4 SLI ASUS motherboard
AMD X64 5400
4 gig's DDR2 RAM
Windows 8 Pro 32bit (not a clean install but an upgrade from XP-Pro SP-3)
SB Recon3D PCie sound card
Nividia GeForce 9800 graphic card.
The on board audio chipset is disabled, it's drivers deleted.
All drivers and Bios packages are up to date.
I am not a gamer and this SC is only used with music and video playback.
I have a frequent hang, and stutter (H&S) problem which started with the installation of the new Sound Blaster card. I had and ancient Audigy 2 from which I only used it's coaxial digital output this card did not have the H&S but the 3.5mm jack failed so a replacement was needed. The H&S problem started with the new card. It does it with both the analog and optical digital output. It is apparently the SC that is doing this. I have two other outputs I use for music playback, USB and DLNA the H&S problem is not exhibited with these two play back methods.
I have watched the system monitors to see if I can spot what is going on. CPU usage runs 50% or less usually a lot less, and the RAM is also not taxed. What I do see is a split second spike in CPU usage to somewhere around 70% when the stutter hits. This is not reflected in the usage graphic for the RAM. I have adjusted the digital, and analog buffers, I have also changed the file bit depth, etc, to try and mitigate the problem at in both cases it does not fix the problem.
This SB Recon3D PCie is the 6th Sound Blaster card I have purchased over the last decade plus and the first one I have had any trouble with, If there is a solution I would like to hear of it, and hopefully this will be addressed in a driver update very soon, if not, well, there is always the ASUS Zonar Essence.

I have fixed the dropout and stuttering problem. It was not Creative fault but instead it was caused by the malicious site blocker package that was loaded by Malwarebytes in February. I loaded DPC Latency Checker and watched it's real time graph and the latency was through the roof, something was eating my computer alive and it was not my SB Recon3D PCie card that was doing it Turning off Malwarebytes fixed the problem. Before I dumped the MWBS I checked in at it support forum and they where getting flamed over the malicious site blocker and locking up XP machines so I turned it off on my Windows 8 machine and instantly fixed the problem now my new Creative Sound card sounds great like all of the other SB card I have had over the years. Anyone having this problem load DPC Latency Checker, it is freeware, and see if you have a latency issue that is causing your problem.

  • AE and Computer- Audio dropping out and stuttering issues

    Hi all,
    I recently bought an Airport Express 2 weeks ago. I hooked the unit up in my bedroom via ethernet(roaming) method.  I use Airplay and turn on Computer and Airport Express to play both in my living room and my bedroom at the same time. Problem is I'm noticing my iTunes in my living room exhibits some stuttering during songs or the audio will start to drop out intermittently and sometimes shuts off completely but the Airport Express is still playing in my bedroom without issue. I've tried turing off the wireless but it doesn't do anything. When I turn off AE in Airplay and just play using the Computer it works fine. I'm not sure what can be causing the interference but it seems its between my computer and AE when they are both turned on.  I would appreciate any suggestions forum members have to help me resolve this issue. I have the 2nd generation AE.  Thanks a lot.

    Hi Macthemini,
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you are experiencing issues with AirPlay between iTunes on a Mac mini and your AirPort Express. The following resource outlines troubleshooting issues for AirPlay performance:
    iTunes: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203822
    Troubleshooting performance issues
    Wi-Fi Connection
    If you are experiencing intermittent playback or significant network lag with AirPlay, it could be due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, interference, or the distance between the Wi-Fi router and your AirPlay-enabled device.
    Ensure that other devices aren't trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
    Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
    Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
    If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
    Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.

  • Broadband Dropping Out and Connection Speed Decrea...

    Sorry to be a pain but I am back here again.
    Since the last issue with speed, connection drop out and noisey line which required an underground cable to be partly replaced, all has been fantastic and no problem to report. Many thanks to those who were involved in helping with getting that issue resolved.
    About 10 days ago the broadband started to drop out at random times but not too often. The broadband hub light would go out for about 15 seconds before returning. My connection would automatically resume and no great problem. It has since become more of a problem and pain.
    The frequency of drop out increased with a sort of pattern. Last week an example would be drop out at 11:50 am, again at 12:40 and once more at 1:30 pm. Each time the connection returned my computer icon for wifi would be a warning triangle. I clicked on the icon and would get a message 'limited connection'. The only way I could connect again would be to click the icon and select to disconnect and then connect, making sure a 'tick' was in the box for autoconnection. A bit more of a pain than before but usable. It got more of a problem over the next few days.
    The frequency of drop out increased. This became a right pain when trying to purchase things online as I could not be sure in the purchase had been completed or if I tried again would I get two lots? Upon broadband connection returning I would not be able to 'auto connect' but would get the warning triangle of 'limited connection'. I tried the click to disconnect and reconnect but it failed to work. I ended up shutting down the laptop, waiting before powering up. This failed to work as all I would get is the warning triangle and 'limited connection'. The only way I could reconnect was to press the 'restart' button. This worked but it got worse.
    The next day the broadband connection would drop out every couple of hours. It got to the point that even pressing the 'restart' button would not allow me to connect. I tried three times and gave up. I had to resort to pressing the very small 'reset' button on the back. This cured the problem for about 12 hours before the drop outs started again.
    It is now a case of 50/50 if I can connect to the broadband again after a drop out. It is getting quite frustrating. I only used the small 'reset' as a last resort. I have noticed that the speed of the connection has started to drop down also.
    Each time the hub drops broadband and I can auto connect and do not press any hub button, the timer has reset to zero days and zero hours. I know it takes about a week for the connection to settle. I do wonder if these drop outs are messing the connection settings for my line speed? The line used to be rated at 21 Mbps but has decreased to 17 Mbps, my actual connection used to be 19 Mbps but struggles to reach 14 Mbps. It is slowly dropping with each and every drop out.
    I also looked at the event log in the hub. Just before each broadband drop out I see a external connection is made with the initials 'CWMP' followed by 'event code 1 boot' or 'event code 6 connection request' or 'event code 4 value change'. Straight after the broadband connection drops out with out fail.
    All I can seem to find out is that the external connection is either the hub connecting to the server or vice versa? As for the codes? I have no idea at all.
    I only ever resort to pressing 'restart' if I cannot connect to my hub. I have only pressed the 'reset' as a last resort as nothing else worked to allow me to reconnect.
    Can anyone offer any help or best a permanent fix?

    I connected to the test socket and used a wired connection for the speed test and hub stats.
    The hub position and run of cables are the same as when the last engineer advised as the best set up.
    Since my last post I have checked the event log and 'CWMP' has made at least two remote connections but the hub did not drop broadband connection. The broadband has been stable but just slower than usual, as you stated due to the drop outs/disconnections.
    I guess a case of wait and monitor to see if the problem has resolved itself?
    Will the speed automatically return to the usual 18 to 19 Mbps? or will something else have to be done to reset it at the exchange/server?
    Here are the hub stats from this morning.

  • Hi, my iPad 2 keeps dropping out and going back to blank screen, I then have to enter my password again, start downloading or reading and it happens again. I have reset the iPad but it is still the same.

    Hi, my iPad 2 keeps dropping out and going back to a blank screen. I have to again enter my password and go back to what I was doing and then it happens again, I have tried resetting and nothing has changed.
    Thanks
    Ron

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without be charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • CS3 exporting drop outs and red screen flashes when exporting via Media Encoder

    Hi forum
    I have been using Premiere Pro CS3 for a long time on my dual core PC with no issues.  Suddenly, I am now getting a major issue i MUST get sorted asap for a client is waiting for the final video.
    It is a HDV (1080i, 25fps) project/timeline.  An 8 minute video has been put together in this and every time I try to export as either MPEG2 (Blu Ray) or WMV, I am getting pixelation in certain places usually around certain cuts, or horrible red blocky pixels filling up the screen for a second or two. They seem to come always at the same point.  They don't happen when i render the timeline or show up when playing the edit itself in the timeline - just when i playback the exported video in premiere or in Windows Media Player.
    To try a workaround I exported the whole video as high quality MPEG2 (blu ray - 30mbps), which I brought into a new sequence, then I exported small sections where this problem was happening as Uncompressed Microsoft AVI and called them "patch 1", "patch 2" etc. and brought them back in and overlayed over where the problems were occuring.  The short Uncompressed AVI patches seem to have exported with no glitches, so theoretically I thought I had a clean good timeline in my new sequence made up of the MPEG 2 video overlayed in the dodgy places with uncompressed AVI "patches".  However, trying to export a new MPEG 2 master from this has created the same problems, in the same places!!! Still drop outs and still those horrid red flashes filling the screen.  Not always as bad, and some places where there were problems are ok, but I am still left with most of the problems still there.
    I am now trying to export the whole video as an AVI uncompessed but dont know if this will work and will take a very long time.
    I do have Saphire plugins, but they are not being used in this new sequence so therefore could that be a possible problem?  I thought perhaps it was the brightness/contrast filter etc so removed that from some of the problem areas, and it helped on some of them, but not on others, so not sure its anything to do with my plug in or filters.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks, James

    This topic is about a year old, but I thought I would reply because I just experienced this problem very recently and stumbled upon an easy solution.
    Problem: When using Adobe Media Encoder to create an HD or .m2v video file, a bright red screen will flash followed by a mashup of red blocks/pixels somewhere within the file you've just encoded. This phenomenon lasts for exactly 10 frames before clearing up.  Most likely, you won't see this problem until you import the encoded file into Adobe Encore.  It shows up on the timeline, the preview monitor and the DVD itself. It occurs on edits that the system reads as being corrupt or when a flash bulb goes off from a still camera.  Both instances make the encoding process go haywire.
    Solution: Encode your HD or .m2v file with CBR (1-pass) bitrate encoding rather than VBR (2-pass).  Don't worry about losing any quality in your video or creating unnecessarily large file sizes with your new renders. I guarantee you won't see much of a difference, if any.  I can't explain why this solution works.  It just does.
    Hope this helps you as much as it did me.

  • Help me!:audio keeps dropping out and coming back in while importing clips

    While importing from my camera (brand new Canon Xl-2) to imovie, the audio from the tape keeps dropping out and coming back in for some reason.This happens with all my tapes. I've tried using a head cleaner and that didn't help. I'm using a Maxtor external hard drive to save the project on. The project itself is kind of big (about 80 GB) Can imovie support projects that large? Could this be a problem with my processor?
    I'm just frustrated beyond belief right now. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
    these our my specs: Processor: 800 mhz. Memory: 1GB SDRam. The disk space icon at the bottom of imovie says i have 151 GB of disk space left.

    Hi e
    With a slow computer one has to minimize the hassle.
    I would
    - repair permissions
    - cheque that nothing else is taking resourses from the job (energy saver,
    screensaver, File Vault etc.)
    - I would move material to my ext hd so that I got > 80Gb free (for a 80Gb

    - nothing else connected than my Mac + Camera and import.

  • When in googlemail firefox keeps connecting dropping out and reconnecting,and crashing.

    When in googlemail inbox, Firefox constantly keeps dropping out and reconnecting,(as seen in the tab) and often crashes when one is writing or sending a message.

    Try to start Firefox with the about:blank page by creating a copy of the current Firefox desktop shortcut and add a space and <b>-url "about:blank"</b> to the target field.
    Try to delete the sessionstore.js file in the Firefox profile folder to prevent restoring the crashed session.

  • Is there a solution to the Bluetooth dropping out and disappearing on Lion 10.7.5?

    Always drops out and disappears from preferences panel. There is a lot about this on the comunity but i have yet to discover a solution. Anyone?

    You managed to place an item in the toolbar that has since been trashed. The solution is simple. Right click (or control click) on the toolbar and select Customize Toolbar... Now you can drag the question mark off the toolbar and release the mouse button. It will poof (disappear).

  • Sound Blaster Live 24-bit PCI Sound Card and Creative Sound Blaster PCI Card not detect

    Ok here is my problem. I bought a Creative Sound Blaster PCI sound card a while back and it was working fine but recently when I would boot up my computer and try to play music say off of Winamp it says Bad DirectSound Driver. When I check device manager it shows no sound card there and in sounds and audio devices it says no audio device. Now my brother believed this to be a card fault so we went to Frys and bought a Sound Blaster Li've 24-bit PCI card. I uninstalled the old drivers and installed this new one but yet it's the same problem. My assumption was that Windows XP had something conflicting so I reinstalled the OS. It found the card and I installed the latest drivers?off of this site but now it does the same thing yet again with a fresh install of Windows XP. The card has been in all 3 of my PCI slots and it will detect it for a moment but then acts like as if the card was never installed. Like I never installed a sound card into the computer. The onboard audio has been disabled for a while now but I do not know what the problem could be. I did Scan for hardware changes but it doesn't show up. Sometimes when the card is detected if I do scan for hardware changes and the card is there it will just magically disappear from the device manager as if it was never there. Even when I try to load music and I see the card is detected it will not play the music and ends up locking up Winamp to the point that sometimes will go BSOD. Now I would really like to find out what the issue is because I am planning this weekend to swap out my motherboard with a duplicate board to see if that will end up fixing the problem but I want to find out if there is any other way to fix this issue. Thank you.Message Edited by AuXoIs on 02-25-200808:28 PM

    Hmm what other options is there for the bios on PCI slots?Also anything you connect to the motherboard can have oxidization (I think its that) build up on the connection. Check the connector on the card and get a eraser (Pen eraser is better) and give it a good cleaning. The connector might have alot of build-up on it and you can see it by a dark yellowy colour. I cleaned my graphics card and ram connectors after they got alot of the build-up on them. On a older computer my graphics stopped working and this fixed it. Also I went away for a while (like a month) and came back to see that my puter didn't display anything. Opened it up and saw that the graphic card had alot of corrosion? on the card connector and in the slot. Does that if you computer is turned of for a long time. Had a heck of time trying to clean the slot out. One other thing that it could be is the sound card is faulty. I had an audigy 2 and it died a while back . It picks it up and then try and use it computer freezes and the after restart it's not there anymore. Hope it's not that problem. Hope this gives you something to go by.

  • USB sound card sound drop outs and glitches

    Hi there, I have been using a Lexicon Omega USB sound card with my Macbook Pro unibody and have been experiencing a failure when running two programs that try to output sound.
    e.g. iTunes will be constantly playing music and another program such as safari pings me when I have a Facebook chat message or if there is a sound when a file has finished copying or i try to play a youtube video at the same time or I play a track in spotify, the sound card freaks out and makes clipped distorted noises then stops outputting sound to the amp and seems to stop receiving a USB signal.
    The curious thing is that after reconnecting the usb cable, all is fine again and both programs WILL play simultaneously, so it should be possible?
    This is really starting to drive me a bit mad as I cant play music and chat online at the same time without the sound crashing.
    I presume it has something to do with what program is assigned to the core audio driver and another program confuses it, like when running Logic Pro which seems to take over the whole sound card for its functions and won't share.
    Perhaps there is something in OS X I could fix or change to get round this or perhaps its just the sound card not working properly and not the fault of OS X.
    Would be grateful for any advice or if anyone else has this issue.
    Harvey

    I presume it has something to do with what program is assigned to the core audio driver and another program confuses it, like when running Logic Pro which seems to take over the whole sound card for its functions and won't share.
    Be absolutely certain that all of your 3rd party software is fully compatible with Snow Leopard - visit the manufs. sites for updates & info until you're current, etc.

  • HELP ASUS Vintage AH1 And Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Mu

    I have a weird problem.
    I have an ASUS vintage ah system with an AMD 2200+ 64bit processor
    ATI PCIE Vidcard (X800 GTO Squared)
    I added the soundcard today, replacing my audigy 4. Soundcard purchased : Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Music
    When i booted the pc, it posts ok, then when windows xp and vista rc both get to the moving blue or green bar it just stops dead. Harddri've light is out, no disk activity, it stays this way indeffinately.
    I've tried shutting off all bios options, i've flashed to latest BIOS and no joy.
    I tried the card in my second pentium 4 machine and it boots fine.
    What the hell is goin on?
    Anyone else seen any weird incompatabilities or have this card running on a vintage ah?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    That is probably a fault with the card. I'd contact your retailer or our customer service (contact us on the top menu)..
    They'll be able to get the card replaced.

  • Optical Out From a Sound Blaster Live 5.1 Exter

    Hello, I know there has been numerous posts about digital out and other things of the sort. The other day I hooked up my sound blaster li've to my 5. yamaha av receiver using an optical cable. The only problem is that no sound is being output through the optical cable, even when I turn on the speaker settings to digital output only. The only way I can get sound through the optical is when I use a dolby digital and or dts encoded dvd in windows media player. I am a?very advanced sound electronics user and was wondering if there is something that I have to do within the program or something else. Thanks for the help. Alex

    Hello, Well after spending some time I was able to figure out my own problem. If there is anyone else that has a li've external that ever has a problem, hopefully this will help you out. So I have my sound blaster hookep up optically to a yamaha a/v receiver. First thing make sure that you are in fact getting a signal through your optical cable, the end of the cable should light up red, indicating that light(audio signal) is infact being sent through cable. Next, make sure your receiver's input mode is either set to auto or pcm. That way, your reciever will automatically detect your optical and or coaxial cable. At this point, even if you don't set the speaker settings to digital out only, you should still get sound through digitally. If you do not get sound, switch it over to digital out only, and uncheck the synchronize with control panel, and like in my case, it should work. One common misconception is that optical either only works with digital sources, or does not make a difference in sound quality, and to let you know, that is a big farse. After solving my problem, I was listening to stereo music and switching between analog and pcm on my receiver, and let me tell you, it makes a HUGE difference. The digital cable, because it is transferred through light signals, does not compress the sound that much, even with stereo sources, so if you are able to, I highly recommend using optical and or coaxial, but optical is preffered. I hope this helps anyone who ever needs it. Alex Lopilato

  • Airport Extreme dropping out and can't connect PC anymore

    Hello
    Suddenly, a couple of weeks ago, my internet connection dropped in the middle of surfing. I couldn't reconnect, Airport was only seeing the base station spasmodically and when I did try to connect I was being asked for a password which wasn't recognised. Hours later I called the support line and was advised to do a hard reset which I did, new name, same password. Now I'm reconnected most of the time, but it has dropped out a few times and the signal seems generally weaker. Something's not right.
    I had not at that point done the July 1st update so it's not to do with that. I haven't a clue why it suddenly started playing up so strangely. (Though I have noticed a new unsecured wireless network in range and wondered if someone was 'hacking')
    My main problem is that my business partner, who connects through a pc here (who remained connected incidentally when I first lost the connection) and continued to be able to connect until I did the hard reset. Now I can't connect that pc to the airport extreme. It sees it but gives an error message saying it's out of range and refresh the list when I try to connect. I fiddled about for hours. I've forgotten how the pc was set up in the first place and I'm going nuts. Can anyone help.
    Thanks
    Helen

    Disappointed not to see any help on this one.
    If it helps anyone out there to help me, I just uploaded the Airport Utility Software to the pc, typed in base station ID and password. Error message, check network connections. No help.
    Try to connect the pc again the usual way from the list of available networks, it asks for password, I use it, then it says it needs to be 5 or 10 ASCII characters or 20 hexadecimal.
    What I don't understand is that everything was working fine on both machines until two weeks ago when my base station went into spasm, dropped me but happy with pc, when I did the hard reset, keeps me, won't allow pc to connect.
    I just don't know what to do now. Of course I suppose I could always make a call and pay £35 to have an apple technician tell me why their hardware suddenly screwed up for no apparent reason.
    Seriously frustrated
    Anyone?

  • Regular drop outs and slow speed, likely to be noi...

    Hello,
    I'm hoping this works, I've had some success on other forums.
    When I signed up, I was quoted a speed of 11mb, for info, I'm near the centre of Worcester city, so hardly the middle of nowhere, but I'm aware I'm open to exchange usage and attenuation.
    I can currently download at around a max speed of 230kb/s, way below what I would expect from 11mb. I noticed that the phone line was very noisy when I moved in, so I am tempted to blame that. I've done all the checks and had everything connected to the master socket (it's a rented property, so I'm nervous about pulling out fixtures and what-not) but to no avail. I called the helpline and after going through the script but was told there was no problem on the line, unfortunately.
    In the last week, I've begun to experience regular connection drops, several times in an evening.
    Here are some router stats:
    Downstream: 1,180 Kbps
    Upstream: 664 Kbps

    I had a similar issue with TalkTalk which ended up with a call out, I'm hoping this isn't needed here. Is it possible for the forum staff to look into the situation?
    Many thanks,
    Alex
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Blimey you're fast on here, thanks for that. I'm nowhere near an expert on this, but I do know what I need to know.
    I'm just trying this in case I've forgotten something daft.
    I used the master for about a day but gave up after no improvement. The silent test is far from that, more crackles and pops than the eponymous cereal, that's why I'm suspecting that over proximity of electrical equipment etc.
    Bit more info. I'm in a block of flats, and because I've had a corded phone directly in the master and still got a noisy line, is that more likely to be outside of the property rather than in? I'm trying to avoid the cost of a call out and I'm sure the landlord doesn't want his walls taken apart.
    Anyway, lovely stats:
