I have always used ffdshow and reclock to playback .avi files, including reclock's built-in sound compressor which I find very useful.
On my old system which was a P4 3.0, I never had a single problem.
Now I have a Q6600, the sound will occasionally drop out for a second or two, seemingly at random. This might occur after ten minutes or half an hour. It is very off-putting and I usually rewind the video when it occurs. When you replay the same section it is fine.
CPU usage during this time is in single percentage figures so it isn't that the CPU is being overworked.
I thought it could be a multi core issue so I tried setting the media player to use one core only in Task Manager, but it made no difference.
Turning off the sound compressor fixes the problem, but I never had a problem with that before and I would really like to keep using it.
Has anyone else experienced this or got any idea what the problem could be? Perhaps there is another version of reclock I could try which is suited to Core 2 CPUs or something?
