audio problem in vegas 6…help

[Zip-edit]

Donna-
I can maybe help you track this down to where the issue might be.
Lets determine if its an audio problem or a data acquisition problem.
Did you do the “extract optimization” trick ??
Was the external drive firewire or USB ??
Are there any yellow check marks in the device manager ??

Did you say that any audio that wasnt ripped plays fine ??

Can you play back 10 audio files simultaneously.
Like a multi-track mixdown ?without dropouts.

Do you have the ability to record multiple tracks..like 8 simultaneously.

Can you record at all??

I did try the extract optimization trick. It seems that audio that wasn’t ripped does play ok. The external drive is usb 2.0; I use it with my sony vaio laptop and vegas 4, and it works like a charm.
I don’t have any multi track audio on the computer to try this with.
I wanted to try a microphone and record a voice over, but I have everything packed in boxes from a move, so I can’t find a mic to try it with. I am working on a couple of other problems right now. will let you know what i find.

I think with the help of another computer expert, we have found that it is the audio output on the sound card is malfunctioning.
