I've got a problem that has been making me pull my hair out today. I run an Aardvark Q10 , Cubase SX2, on a 40gb HD 768 RAM Dell. Within the past few weeks when I playback audio it will do this skipping. The audio will completely cut out but when it comes back in a half a second later it will continue where it would have been playing had the skip not occurred...rather than exactly where it cut out.
Here has been my troubleshooting so far: first I uninstaled the aardvark drivers and reinstalled. Didn't help. Then I defragmented the HD and deleted multiple gigs of unneeded saved audio. No change. Then I uninstalled the drivers and aardvark software, shut down, pulled out the aardvark pci card , restarted without the card, shut down again and reinserted the PCI card in a new slot, reinstalled software and drivers. Alas, it worked for a little over an hour while I laid dummy guitars down for a new song. Then as I sat down to experiment with drum parts it started skipping just a little bit again, then gradually got worse and now it has returned to it's original annoying frequency.
Has anyone encountered a similar issue? I would like to continue to try anything that might help. My plan next is to try what I did again and also reinstall cubase, though I doubt that will help.
I record at 24bit 48 khz and have been successfully for over a year without any similar problems so I have a terrible fear that something expensive has gone bad on me. It very well could be an Ardvark issue as usual and I wish I could rid myself of it for good and get a firepod or something but as of now that isnt really in my budget. I really want to get this fixed for free or hopefully cheap. Alright enough babbling. Any help is appreciated.
