When I hit record, the DAW records for a few seconds and then it just stops recording. Likewise, when I play any audio(in DAW or elsewhere) it will play for a few seconds while sounding very choppy then the choppiness takes over, leaving silence.
I have 3 recording programs. This happens on all of them.
When I use the sound card that is built into my computer (“Sigma Tel audio”) recording and playing works fine but when I use my “M-audio ProFire 610” sound card the problem is present.
Does anyone know how I can solve this problem? Or does anyone know how I can narrow the number of possibilities of what may be going wrong?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

I recently did most of the things on this website to optimize my computer for recording but it did not help: http://www.audioforums.com/windows-xp-optimization.php
The above optimization guide recommends 2.0 Gigahertz of processor clock speed but I only have 1800 megahertz. Would this be the cause of the problem?
