Can someone tell me if it is common to hear audio glitches when moving the mouse and when using drop down menus etc.. I am using a dual core amd processor and the cpu meters run between 18 and 25%. Every thing else seems to be running great but this is a little irritating.

Merry Christmas

Thanks for any help!!

this is not normal. what sort of video card do you have? perhaps is not powerful enough, or perhaps try turning off some of the graphic FX in XP.

Thanks for the quick response!
I am using a new Nvidia GeForce 7600 GS
I have changed the settings in control panel for best performance which should shut off most frills, but I am still having this problem.

Are you using the NVidia drivers, or the Windows drivers? Sometimes disabling your video cards settings from within the video card interface (NView) will degrade overall performance. This is because your video card will defer its workload to your cpu ... which is not what you want. Make sure that your NVidia is in a balanced operating mode. And make sure you are using the latest drivers. Try switching to the basic Windows theme too.

Describe your computer, especially CPU speed and RAM.

Also, turn down the video acceleration setting in Windows-Display Properties.

This sounds like am IRQ sharing problem.

I have this problem too. It has not been a show-stopper but it is annoying as hell. I've got an Athlon 4800+ X2 Dual Core, 3 Gig Ram, and a Radeon x850, Sata Drives-- no reason this should be happening. I've tried to research IRQ conflicts, but I can't seem to find any on my system.

Turn down the Video Acceleration on Windows-Display Properties. Also make sure you are using ASIO driver mode. There's a section in the Help Menu called "Dropouts and other Audio Problems" that has some tips on how to tune your computer for audio.

go to computer system properties\advanced\performance

Turn on only Smooth Fonts and Visual Styles.

All the shrinking and fading spikes the system

Thanks, but I'm not turning Video Acceration down. I've never had this problem with other versions of Sonar-- just 6. I've never had performance problems with my other software. I can run the fastest games, 100 track sessions, etc. The computer is plenty fast enough. If anyone knows of a better resource that lets you see all of your IRQs at the same time, that would probably help most.
