Gaps in audio when CPU reaches 100%

Hi,
I am using Adobe Audition 3 on a laptop with the following spec:
Intel Dual Core 1.6GHz CPU
2GB Ram
120GB HD
It records perfectly and normally the CPU usage is around 20%. However if my computer decides it needs to do anything in the background while i'm recording the CPU usage shoots up to 100% and puts a gap in my recording. How can I stop this from happening? I have tried increasing the CPU priority of Audition in Task Manager, but still happens?
Many thanks in advance!

I would also suggest that you defrag your hard drive... I just defragged this laptop and it even starts up smoother.  If you have a lot of time to waste you may wish to defrag with VM turned off while in safe mode... I do this all the time under windows XP and it helps a lot...  I have also used a program called JkDefrag (http://www.kessels.com/Jkdefrag/) that is much faster and can even be setup as a screensaver to defrag when you're not around, but it's a manual install... Pretty easy to use though as it's pretty automatic and there are no buttons or other options that you need to go through first...
If you are brave and want to defrag in safe mode with Virtual Memory turned off do the following... (Instructions for Windows XP with Classic Control Panel)
Note: If you aren't familiar with setting virtual memory settings then you may want to print these so you can set them in safe mode before restarting again...  Or just don't do this at all...  Do at your own risk... If you have trouble then well I told you so...
With windows started normally go to the control panel and double-click the System icon.
On the dialog that appears click the Advanced tab and then under performance click the Settings button.
On the new dialog that appears click the advanced tab and under Virtual memory click the change button.
Select the first drive and write down the settings for that drive... Do this for all other drives.
Select the first drive and then select the No paging file option and click the set button... Do this for each drive in the list. (don't forget to press Set)
Press the OK button and Apply or OK on the other dialogs...
A window should pop-up asking you to restart your computer... Close any running programs and click yes to restart your computer...
Press F8 while your computer is starting up to enter the boot menu...  If you don't get the boot menu then you missed your chance and will have to try again by restarting...
At the boot menu select Start in safe mode... If you don't see this option then hit F8 again...
You may have to select your windows installation after selecting Start in safe mode... Just hit enter...
When windows starts up click Yes to continue working in safe mode and then goto Start->All Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Disk Defragmenter... In the defrag utility select the first drive and then hit the defrag button... You can do this for all other drives too.
If you decided to use JkDefrag instead of Disk Defragmenter you can simply click Start->Run and Browse to the location you installed the exe files and run either the JkDefrag.exe or the JkDefragCmd.exe and it should defrag all local drives automatically...
When it is finished you should use the instructions I gave you above to turn off Virtual memory to do the opposite and turn it back on... Don't forget to click the 'Set' button when doing so...  If you're not sure how to set the virtual memory settings for your drives just make sure that one internal drive is set to System managed and then click the set button and ok and apply on the other dialogs...
And when done restart your computer and see how it starts much faster then before
Anyway that should be it... Hopefully I got it right and nobody really needs to read all that anyway...  I'm so bored I should have wasted time somewhere else... And if you have problems making things work after turning off VM then you probably didn't turn it back on   Or you don't follow instructions well...  Or its me being retarded...
Yeah... Defrag works in safemode and does a better job when it can access all the files on the drive like when VM and Hibernation is turned off... Maybe someone else can right a better tutorial for the FAQ pages...

  • Problem - Playing media stops when CPU reaches 100%

    Hi,
    I have a big problem, I use JMF for playing my videos and music for my video game.
    But if the CPU reaches 100 % the playing media stops and if the Processor is in the state less as 100% it continues playing.
    But windows media player continues playing for some seconds after reaching 100%.
    Would it help to increase the Buffer with BufferControl or is this a problem for Java?

    You can't really compare JMF to the windows media player because your java app is undoubtedly doing other things at the same time as it's playing your music and videos. Win media player just has to worry about playing the video/music

  • X200 CPU reaches 100 celsius degrees. is this normal?

    I'm using LenovoThinkVantage Toolbox to do a CPU stress test and and the same time I'm running TPFanControl to monitor the speed of the fan and the temperature of the CPU.
    When I run the CPU stress test the temperature of the CPU reaches 100 degrees celcius with the fan going at 7000rpms which all of it sounds excessive and not right to me. Is this normal? or there is something wrong with my system.
    Thanks in advance

    100C is around the maximum the CPU can deal with before sustaining damage.  Even then, running at that temperature for extended periods of time is most certainly going to be problematic.
    I can't imagine it was designed to be run that way, so I'm guessing there's a problem.  Maybe a heatsink is not seated properly, or something is obstructing airflow.  Either way, I'd say that if you're under warranty it's worth having the depot take a look.

  • Can I keep the power cord plugged in when battery reaches 100%l?

    Hello,
    I'm assuming the battery stops recharging when it reaches 100%, right? In other words I can keep the power chord plugged in without any risk of "overcharging". Correct?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    'Oracle 9i' is not a version, it is a marketing label. Please post your full version number x.x.x.x
    Also you need to investigate inside the database what is consuming the CPU.
    Please refer to v$sesstat and v$statname. v$statname has two statistic items for CPU time being used. You can join both tables, and find out which sessions are consuming the CPU.

  • What happens when DBU reaches 100%

    What happens to batch jobs requesting or creating VTV's when the DBU is reaching 100%? The doc says that when the DBU reaches 95%, the VTCS will switch to space release mode to try to free up space as fast as possible. But if you have peak batch processing possibly allocating up to 256 VTD's and writing lots of data, it appears there can be situations where the DBU could reach 100%.
    1. What happens to the batch jobs that are trying to write to the cache if DBU is 100%?
    a. Do they fail if cache space has been exhausted?
    b. Or do they go into a wait state or slow the writes until space is freed up.
    2. Has this ever happened to anybody?
    a. What was the impact?
    b. What was put into place to prevent this from happening again?
    TIA,
    Mike

  • Gaps in audio when burning on dvds and cd

    When I burn a dvd and add audio, I have gaps in the playback on the audio only. 

    Hello BCRC,
    What make / model computer are you using?
    What operating system?
    What program are you using to burn the DVD's and CDs?
    By gaps are you meaning that there is a gap from one track to the next and you are looking to burn gapless discs, or are you referring to the audio actually skipping parts of the audio when burning?

  • Gaps in audio when importing clips?

    When I try to import clips from my camcorder to imovie, quite often it happens there are little gaps with no sound (easy to hear, and visible in audio wave as gaps as well).
    When I connect the camcorder to the TV set, then the sound is fine, thus assume it cannot be a mistake in recording.
    I've also exchanged the firewire cord, still the problem continues...
    Would be extremely grateful for any help...

  • CPU reach 100% when saving a large report in pdf format

    We have some reports that are fairly large. When we schedule them to save in pdf format, the job server takes all the CPU resources, and makes other servers slow. Is there a way to limit how much CPU the job server can take?

    Just give
    destype=mail desformat=pdf desname=emailid
    in cmd line
    Which reports version are you using ?
    In 9i you have to specify outgoing mail server in
    $OH\report\conf\server_name.conf
    in this xml element (uncomment it)
    <pluginParam name="mailServer">%MAILSERVER_NAME%</pluginParam>

  • AP Server sometimes hang when CPU load 100%

    Hi experts,
    Our system has migrated to ECC 6 and sometimes I find it slow when I
    start a new transaction code. At that time, there are many work
    processes idle but I find CPU load is up to 100%. I use
    es/implementation = flat and es/use_mprotect = flase. Does this matter?
    What is the root cause becuase I find just 4-5 background jobs running
    will cause servers CPU load up to 100%. I use Dell PowerEdge 1955 with
    2 dual cores CPU, 2.0GHz. I total have 9 AP Servers

    That's not very unusual for background jobs.  We have daily extracts here that write out GBs of data, each of my jobs take 100% of a CPU core as well.  The way we get around it is to split the jobs up into different SAP application servers.
    When the job is running, look into the process and see what it's doing.  It should just be sitting there with the CPU usage count going up.  This means that it's in a loop on a probably large internal table somewhere.  You can try doing a SE30 trace on it, see which loop it is.
    Additionally, it would also be wise to see if you can divide the data the job is processing into smaller pieces and run them sequentially.
    Lastly, if all things above check out fine and you have no room for improvement, maybe it's time for a hardware purchase ..

  • CPU usage reaches 100 %

    I took a screenshot from my jvisualvm. My CPU goes up to 100% in Linux 64 bit and sometimes it goes down back to 10% (mostly just stay at 100%). Can someone check for me where the problem might be ?

    When it reaches 100% please see the threads which is grabbing more resources..even can do a top on linux to see if your process is the exact one or in concurrency with others causing issues..

  • Is It Safe To Keep Charging An iPhone 6 and/or An iPhone 6 Plus Even After It Reaches 100%?

    Hi there! I wanted to know whether it is safe to keep both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus charged even if it has already reached 100%. I am aware that it is safe to keep a MacBook Pro charged even if the battery has already been charged to 100%. I wanted to know if both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are also safe to keep plugged in after it has been fully charged.
    Thanks.

  • Evenlog viewing causes CPU usage 100% on Windows server 2008 SP2

    We have Windows server 2008 SP2 with strange behaviour. When I scroll down events in eventlog viewer CPU usage hits 100% and eventlog viewer freeze. CPU usage is split between 2 processes SVCHOST.EXE (lmhosts, eventlog and Dhcp services) and MMC.EXE.
    1)I tried to replace eventlog files with new ones. That didn’t helped
    2)After server clean boot problem still exist.
    3)When CPU hits 100% usage process explorer shows that from SVCHOST.EXE process CPU is used by service EventLog.
    Any ideas how to fix this?

    Hi Santosh
    I re-installed VMware
    tools and also configured VMXNET 3 - nothing changed :(
    Sorry to hear that.
    Windows event log service has couple of dependencies i.e. task scheduler and windows event collector service. Can try restrating those services ?
    In addition to above, try following steps
    Change NTFS permission of  %WINDIR%\System32\WinEvt\Logs directory, add Local Service and
    Network Service, give them FULL permissions.
    Stop and Start event viewer service by running following command
    net stop eventlog && net start eventlog

  • Audio/vibrate alert when battery charge reaches 100%???

    I just got my iPhone 3GS about two weeks ago (before the 3.1 update.) And once the battery would reach 100% when charging, the phone would either play an audio tone or it would vibrate (if the silence switch was on.) Now since 3.1 it's not doing it anymore.
    Anyone else notice this? I wonder why they would remove such a brilliant feature?

    I have the 3G since it was introduced and never noticed this feature. The only time it would vibrate twice is when I put it into the dock or connect it to my mac to charge and the silent switch is activated.
    I just charged from 90% to 100% and didn't get any notification at all.
