Popping Studaring during rcord and playback.

It would appear if I move window, turn nobs or just about anything at all other than just look at the screen I get pops and interruptions in playback and record. I dunno. I got a Windows Performance index of 3.2 due to graphix everything else is either 7 or 5 disk data transfer rate is a 5.9 I assume is fine. It's not going to get better regardless. Would a shiddy graphix card cause an issue? I never put an awesome card in this machine because it wasn't going to play games or do any real heavy lifting per say. I just don't know why minimizing windows or messing with knobs would cause subtle drop outs of audio but it's happening. However, I did load up FL Studio and I could hear pops and fizzles as well. So, It's probably not a Sonar issue. But, of course Reason 6 isn't giving my any problems at all as far as turning knobs or playback and recording. That thing is a tank. Yeah, I installed the latest drivers for the MOTU 896mk3 and the firewire card was the latest driver. Nothing has changed. Oh, this didn't just start happening. It's been going on for some time now. I've just tried to ignore it. But it's way out of control now. Any thoughts? Thank You!

    id download the dp latency checker and see what its giving you for readings,just google it.
    could be a windows update changed something(settings with your soundcard)i mean it could be a bad graphivs card,im betting it is not though.ive seen things like this happens when people push there systems and install a program,now that program is in the start up menu,its just those little resources that will push your daw over the edge,also do you have a land line conection?if you dont and its wireless,shut your wireless card off in device manager(just temporary disable it)check your gui for your soundcard as well could be a buffer setting that changed somewhere.sorry i could not give you a solid answer but it is a place to start.

    Make sure your using ASIO driver mode for your MOTU and then adjust the cASIO buffers until it stops.

    Another thing it could be, is an IRQ conflict. Having clicks and pops while moving your mouse is indicative of an IRQ conflict..

    I'll certainly take a look at all of your suggs. Although, I don't know much about IRQ setting or where they are to adjust.lol Will adjust the buffer setting and see what happens. And downloaded the latency checker. I'll see what I can come up with. Hey! Cjaysmusic doesn't have a Facebook page? I checked out your website. Pretty cool stuff dood! I'm going to be down there in a month or so to dive in Ft. Lauderdale and Key Largo. Thanks for the suggs.

    Why do my posts not have any spaces or paragraphs? It's all jammed together! See like this. I've hit enter 5 times now and should be some space between them but no! It's all stuck together.

    Jack, I'm guessing you're using Firefox?
     
    The newer versoins don't play nice with the forum software, so you'll either have to roll back a few versions of FF (if I remember correctly, I think it's FF5, but hopefully someone will chip in and give you the exact version) or use IE or Chrome to post here with line breaks.

    Now, I'm entering automation and editing the nodes and the such. I Just hit control z two times to remove a couple of nodes and carash! X1 chit the bed again. Crazy. it's been crashing left and right lately. I'm so over it. Looked into some potential IRQ conflicts. Should I disable the on board audio drivers in the device manager? I'll just use chrome in the future to make posts or just deal with it.

    yes always disable your onboard audio,you dont want a conflict between them,cj's got a point with the irq conflict.
    is your videocard an onboard or a card?

    Come hit me up, i scuba dive also. Its good diving here in south florida.
    I do have a facebook page, but its mostly for family and friends

    Oh that's cool Cjay. I was wondering if the audio mastering and mixing site might have a FB page. But I can book mark it or whatever. I do enjoy when the pages I like make posts and the such. But, you might not have anything to do with the page.....It's a great site! I'll be visiting it regardless....Will be in staying in Lauderdale by the Sea so I can shore dive next to the pier...Will probably make a trip to Key Largo for a Duane dive or something. Done all the reefs, haven't dived a wreck down there yet. Get there May 19th I believe.....I'll check and see if there are any IRQ conflics tomorrow and see what I come up with. Thanks Much!

    It's a Motu 896mk3. I'll add it to my signature. Thanks Chucke!

    I've looked for IRQ conflicts and have found none.  Could a video card be causing audio artifacts? I couldn't say for sure it does nothing without moving the mouse or windows around. But, I know for sure that it doesn't seem to like it much either if I do. Earlier today I was recording a few tracks of Sylenth1 and during recording the audio would pop and there would be lines on the tracks where there was an interruption of sorts. 

    When I went back to listen to see if it was a burned in fault or just an audio hick up and I heard it again in the same spot where the line was.  I wasn't' moving the mouse or any crazy video draining activities at that time. I'm at a loss.
