I am trying to stream files from my pc upstairs to my downstairs Revo. I have recently installed an SSD on the upstairs PC (along with a fresh OS) I have also added a separate gigabit switch to the network instead of just going through the ADSL modem.

For some reason, now when I play files every now and again there is a half second loss of sound (the picture is fine). I am using VLC on the Revo and Homegroup to share.

The setup used to work well before but now I have effectively changed 3 things at once I am going to have trouble isolating the cause.

Has anyone dealt with a problem like this before? The problem appears random and is very hard to recreate.
 
I have a wired network all going into a panel. The panel then connects to the switch and the switch to the router. Previously the panel connected straight to the router.

The old drive was formatted so no luck with that. I am going to try mpc-hc tonight to see if that resolves things. I was told that vlc was not so great.

Previously data and the Os were on one physical drive. Now the Os is on the SSD and the data remained on the mechanical HDD. I wonder if this has anything to do with it.

It is most infuriating.
 
I'll do some diggin on this.

I remember I also recently changed the memory usage to 512mb for the ion in the bios.

Gah I should have learned not to fiddle with things that were not broken!
 
The development from last night is that
A) most of the stutters came later in the 1hour file
B) I can reproduce them- if I rewind they happen again. The source file is fine as it does not stutter on the pc that the file is stored on.
