Advice Needed! – Sound Dropping Out on Old AND New System
-
Ryan,
Yep. Sounds like we’re in the same boat. Today, just to experiment, I created a brand new project on this ridiculously overpowered new system, pulled in a clip and a .wav file, played them just fine separately and then watched the audio die away about 5 seconds in both the timeline and source monitor.
It’s so frustrating. I’ve got a feature to cut and I may have just put down $2200 on a new system for nothing. Maybe there’s a hero out there somewhere…
Good luck, and let me know if you hear anything.

What drive are you playing these files off of? Are they on the same drive? What compression is the Scarlet footage?
-
Everything’s on two externals. Reading the Scarlet footage natively at 4K HD 3840 x 2160.
-
Over what protocall (USB, FW800, etc) is there a raid involved, and what soeed are the drives?
Also, where are your media cache files setup to be stored!?
-
How’s the level on that clip? There’s a “mute clipped audio” setting that’s given me fits before.
-
That’s interesting. I’ve never heard of that. Where is it located?
-
I had the ATI 4850 in my CS4 System and it worked very well. As soon as I updated to CS5.5 my system had all kinds of stability issues and wonky behavior.
One solution fixed them all. I replaced the ATI went with a Nvidia 560ti with 384 Cuda cores and OMG it is now a fast stable system. Rips through stuff in realtime bigtime. You’ll need to add the card to the text file in adobe/Premiere Pro CS5.5/Supported Cuda Cards.

I have been playing around with this audio issue, and I have found that when I decrease the volume a bit of channels in the audio mixer that my audio drops out less, possibly related to this “mute clipped audio” feature that I don’t know where to turn off. This might be a placebo, though.
Do you have one track with really loud audio?

With the ATI, my audio was messed up and constant crashes. I spent hours trying to fix the issues and gave up. Spend $200 and get a video card that works. My guess is the ATI’s audio drivers were the problem.
Seriously you will be amazed at what the Mercury engine does and will not regret pitching the 4850 int your e-waste bin or selling it on eBay for $20.

I am running a Quadro 4000 and getting this issue. I don’t think it’s the video card.
