Thanks for the info but none of your suggestions helped at all. To
top it off, my interfaces began to misbehave. Reloading drivers did
nothing to change matters. I re-installed XP and most but not all
problems went away. After a morning's worth of changing buffer
size/#'s, cache size, and telling Audition not to use the soundcard's
pointer information, everything started to work properly.
"Re-install Windows" used to be the #2 recommended remedy for audio
problems (after "Get the latest drivers"). I avoided doing that for
probably 15 years because I simply didn't know how a "restoration"
installation worked and nobody told me. I always thought that
"Re-install Windows" would wipe out all my accumulated software, or at
least change settings like fonts, colors, and directories. Then finally,
I bit the bullet, and everything went back to working just like it did
before flakiness started.
I still try to find other solutions first, but at least now I'm not
afraid of losing everything when I do a re-install. But, hey, when it
comes to computers, I always have something to be afraid of. Maybe the
installation CD won't play any more.
It's always something.
