Hi ,

I am a newbie and i did a video in full HD and that worked pretty good and that one was in mono sound.
Now i am editing one with stereo sound but this stalls the program heavily (real time preview on).
And while editing you can play the clips with stereo but when you skip a piece by going fastforward the sound doesn't come back.
Though it works like a charm with the real time preview off is there a way to get it working with stereo on?

My regards Jan

My system specs are : intel Q9550
MSI460 Hawk (nvidia)
8 GB DDR3 RAM
Asrock P45-ts motherboard
W7 64bit ultimate

Jan,

The first thing to check for is your sound card drivers are the latest from the sound card or chip manufacturer.

Sound problems are usually a fault of the Sound Drivers.

For that matter you should check for the latest drivers for Video and Motherboard from the manufacturers.

Video editing is the most stress you can put on your computer, all parts must be working at their best.

Jan I am having the same issue.

I do have the latest sound drivers for my 3-4 yr old SB X-Fi card. Maybe the card is too old?

But the program is memory intensive and at times may tie up memory and not give it back immediately (always been an issue with windows) (and DOS needing memory managers if I can recall). I believe that may be part of the issue. It's par for the course with PD9 and I think most of us have the issue you are referring to and just deal with it as a quirk of a memory intensive program.

Thanks Carl,
I did a clean install of my system this weekend and i also updated my drivers and everything was downloaded with antivirus off.
But i will check this first you never now.
Dave thanks for your input i am pretty familiar with tweaking and so on, and i can tell you that this is a very fast system it is also overclocked to 3.2 Ghz.
I normally use it for flight simulator X and that gives no problems.

My regards Jan

Flight Sim X is an old program. Can your computer handle the new Storms of War Battle of Britain coming out ?

LOL J/K

If you do get it figured out, please report back Jan.

Your system my run stable with overclocking, but video editing stresses the timing of most subsystems, video and audio as well as the cpu. If the over-clocking tweaks the PCI bus wrong, it could be messing up the stereo sound. Try same editing with OC turned off and see if it works.

Hi Rocket-Scientist,

You could be right i am gonna try it, i was thinking of that one too.
But first i am gonna concentrate on the sound card drivers and associated things when that is okay i am going to revert the overclock to standard settings.
And for Dave, you are right about the age of FSX but for the most computers it is still a hog to run it is a cpu killer even for modern computers.
I will try to keep you posted, but for this week i am low on computer time because of some work related things.

My regards Jan
