playback looping error

[howie300]

Hi all, I'm running HD 7.3 cs6 on a PC... am enjoying the power of core 2 quad! but am experiencing some problems which are starting to get annoying:

have any of you experienced looping playback? i mean, the drums will suddenly go back a couple bars while the rest of the song continues playing, so the effect would be the song not aligning. sometimes when tracking vocals, the singer would say something, and it'll only playback after a couple seconds, and i wasn't even recording. now it's starting to cause the bouncing to fail, because the looped playback of indiv. tracks will be recorded into the bounce... very strange indeed. have anyone experienced this? thanks in advance, it'll really help me out!

similar but not exactly the same problems over here. i will sometimes getglitchy audio and if i press stop the session will continue to play for a few seconds. i have also had the out of alignment at times.
what mobo are you using?
i get these issues on certain sessions occasionaly.i'm running 7.4 cs 5

I've only had this happen when using VI's

using vi's here. been dealing with this problem every now and then since i built my intel q6600

i'm using the asus P5E WS professional MB. running PT 7.3 cs6. but i don't think the cs updates helped at all. it has the same problem with just 7.3. I guess now I know it doesn't help upgrading to 7.4 either.

i´m on 7.4 cs5

i get this problem mostly with duende-plugs.

i set the dae playback buffer level to 0 or 3, where level 0 is more stable here.

disc allocation set to fastest.

[howie300]

hmm, it seems whichever buffer setting I choose, the looping problem remains the same. i hope it's not an MB choice problem, but that might be the culprit..

[psmworld]

which interface do you use?

which plugins are in the project? rtas and tdm or one kind of them only? have you tried the session with inactived plugs?

buffer settings most stable are 1024 at 96khz and 512 at 44.1/48khz. this shouldn´t be changed.

send me your main-setup including pc-hardware, i´ll look into my test-chart for a problem.

[howie300]

oh ok, I'll send the specs as soon as I get to the studio. strange thing is, it happens even if I don't use any plugins. minimal tracks, i tried recording with 1 mono track plus a master track opened, and it still happens.

also look for the card order on the motherboard. this is very important for me to look at.
