Hi DJ-ShUFFLE.

Do you mean you put the buffer to the maximum as in the lowest (1) or the highest (20)?


Also make sure you are doing everything on this list:

* Always plug directly into the computer’s USB port, not a hub.
* Check that you are using a ‘good’ USB port. Try all ports until you get the best results.
* Go to your laptop manufacturer's website to check if there any driver updates for your machine.
* Switch off any wired network connections.
* Switch off screen saver and set sleep mode and hard drive sleep to 'never'.
* Ensure you have ample room left on your hard drive (this is approx 10% of your hard - both internal and external).
* Close down any other software, including antivirus software or the like.

Raise the latency up until you have no dropouts, you may be placing too much stain on your processor.

Even though you are on Windows 7, some of this article still might apply (since W7 is a retweak of Vista):
www.pc-music.com

That may help get the latency down more as you remove non-needed processes.

You can also run the DPC latency checker to see if you're getting any conflicts.
This will produce a report for latency or IRQ conflicts on your system.
Go here: www.thesycon.de

Download then play audio in Scratch Live and run the DPC.exe.

You will be shown a bar graph , GREEN (SAFE) Yellow (Caution) Red (Dropouts).
You will also be given a report of any conflicting hardware or software.
