I am having some issues. I usually use a desktop for my recordings, but I have started to use some virtual instruments on a laptop to perform. I am getting a clipping/stutter sound out of two different pc laptops when I use external sound cards. This happens with regular mp3 audio.
One is a Dell vostro with Core2 duo 2.10 ghz 4gb ram, the other a Fujitsu i3 2.27ghz 4 gb ram. Both are running Windows 7 professional. I am Trying to run a presonus firestudio project and Line6 toneport. I would use the headphone out on the laptops, but you get all the electrical\harddrive noise. All of these devices work fine on a desktop and I have used the line6 toneport on a toshiba laptop about 10 years ago with no problems.
I have tried to adjust buffer size and reloading drivers. I tried using asio4all and a few times the asio4all icon on the tool bar went to a red exclamation when the clipping occurred and then back to green when it stopped. Within Ableton the cpu meter never tops out when it happens, it just happens at random.
Am I missing something? Because it should be able to play at least mp3's without stuttering right?
Thanks in advance for any insight.
