Bob, thanks for the response. The CPU could be the culprit and I am looking into an upgrade. It’s an Intel Core 2 6300 @1.86 GHz. 3.2 GB usable RAM Win 7-32 bit os.

I’m sorry I was not more clear in my post. I never really run 3 or 4 files simultaneously in my daily routine however to find the problem that was my test. To be clear I never have problem until Window Media Player is introduced.

I might be running one small .wav file in vegas (or Sound Forge) and accidentally open the smallest of wavs through WMP and the problem occurs.

It appears that as soon as WMP is opened it wants to change the system bit or sample rates and that really screws with my system. It actually knocks Sony’s audio setting offline until I close WMP and reset the Sony Audio preference tab.

For now I can avoid problems and keep the peace by staying well clear WMP while running any program. However it would be nice to solve the issue.

Sorry. I had just posted a vegas question and posted this question here incorrectly. I’ll repost. If only Vegas had FLV plug-in to render with…..

Thanks for the info. The current video adaptor is a dual vga, I agree with you, I will never be without 2 monitors.

Let me add one thing. With Vegas 7 and XP my time line preview was fine and in sync with audio.

Currently same hardware, now with Vegas 9 on Windows 7 my preview looks fine but video lags behind the audio as the cursor moves across the timeline.

The processor is unchanged but I assumed the graphic demand of Win 7 had gone up and was screwing with my time line. Still go with the processor upgrade only?

Thanks John, I follow you. Thats what I was trying to get to. The line level audio from the PC will go directly to the outboard mixing console not the virtual echo console.

I could run the pc sound to the mixer on a seperate channel. Would this allow me to open Vegas and (let’s say) Windows media without conflict?
