HI Sergio,

Yes, I am using Premiere Pro CS3, I get to the Preferences from the Premier Pro drop down menu. I’m wondering why you don’t have the scroll down menu under Audio Hardware, I wonder if it’s anything to do with Audio Mapping – I’ve got 2 scroll down boxes: Default Device and Buffersize – what do you have?

HI Sergio,
I’d been having the same problem, the cursor jumping ahead of where I’d stopped it, sometimes about a second after. Then I also started having a problem with the timeline lag on pressing play or the spacebar, this got progressively worse until I could count a 5 second delay! I’ve checked out many forums and eventually found an answer last night. Check your audio hardware in Premier Preferences and under Default Device make sure that System Device Input/Output is not selected, I have it as Built in Line Output and Premier is back to normal both on playing and stopping. I hope this helps.
Best,
El

Hi Louis,

I’d been having this exact problem over the last week, using Pro CS3 on a Leopard Mac pro; the response time was getting slower and slower, yesterday I counted 5 seconds from pressing the spacebar to the timeline starting playing. I tried all sorts of (optimization) work arounds, and googling turned up the same problem on other forums which is when I caught your query. Well I might have found something that may help, because it certainly worked for me, it was mentioned on the adobe forums page: https://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.3c05ae80 (scroll to the last 2 comments about Audio preferences).

and premier is back to normal. I hope this helps.
