  Audio in viewer cuts out

  Posted by Andrea Stewart on August 26, 2011 at 4:09 pm

  I’m losing audio playback in the viewer window randomly – it also cuts out in the timeline occassionally but then is fine if I stop the playhead and play it again.

  I’m tired of quitting, trashing prefs and starting again. Any suggestions as to why this is happening?

  FCP7, 8 core intel, AJA IO, 10bit seqence uncompressed and 48k audio. Everything is properly optimized.

  Thanks,
  Andrea

  Uninstall the AJA drivers using their uninstall utility (look in your Applications folder), then download and install the latest AJA drivers.

  I’ll bet ya a nickel that cures the problem.

  You’re a high roller there David.

  I think I had version 3.0 drivers. Uninstalled and reinstalled version 3.1. (I had recently updated to snow leopard which could be the cause of a conflict.) Hopefully that will do the trick.

  BTW, I was also getting General Error (49) occassionally when I would try to advance or go back by one frame using the arrow keys.

  Maybe that will disappear too.

  Thanks!
