Graphic EQ in FCP = General Error
I recently started getting a general error (39) when watching my sequences. I finally narrowed the problem down to the AUGraphicEQ filter in the Apple Audio folder in FCP 4.5.
I was curious if anyone else found this problem. I was pulling out the 20.0-63 Hz as well as 5000 to 20,000 Hz. The other FCP EQ doesn’t seem to be that specific. Any recommendations on a decent alternative?

COULD be this. Easy to do. Worth a try.
There is a function in FCP that is often overlooked… and it can help with many audio and video “skipping”, “sticking” and “missing” problems.
You should “Mixdown” the Audio for playback before you dub out of FCP, or during the edit, if you have audio/video stuttering, drop-outs or freezes.
NOTE: Mixdown has even been demonstrated to help with slipping, skipping problems (or “missing” audio clips) for files being EXPORTED as QT (or similar) files out of FCP.
First, SELECT ALL of your audio tracks (highlight them) on the timeline, then:
Sequence Menu > Render Only > Mixdown.
You should see a dialog box telling you its rendering.
It might seem to make little sense that “Mixing down” even simple audio tracks will “fix” complex video “freezes” or random audio dropouts to tape or export, but it CAN.
NOTE: It does not matter of you only have one audio track, if there are random freezes during output, you should try the Mixdown.
