Hi
Having a problem with the sound on my desktop. Its started cutting out during playback for some reason and I can't work out what's causing it.
I've noticed the problem both on iTunes and VLC though not on any games as of yet. What happens on iTunes is the sound just cuts out mid way through a song and the track time stops though it says its still playing. I tried pausing and replaying but that doesn't do anything. However, if I stop the play, flick to another playlist and back and play the same track again it plays again. It doesn't start if I click another song on the same playlist, I have to change playlists/libraries to get it to start again. This leads me to think its a software issue rather than hardware. On VLC the sound cuts out in the same manner but video playback continues. If I stop the video and then play it again the sound comes back and I can skip back to where I was.
Needless to say this is has getting annoying. It maybe does it once every couple of hours and I'm not usually doing anything on the computer at the time so can't find how to duplicate the issue by choice, it seems very random.
Any ideas what to do?
Spec:
Win 7 64 Ult, Asus P8Z68-V, Intel Core i7-2600K 3.40GHz, 16GB Ram, Vertex 240GB SSD, Evga GeForce GTX 570, Creative SB X-Fi Platinum Fatal1ty 7.1 Champion Series, Coolermaster Real Power 850w
