It sounds like I may have a memory overwriting bug somewhere.. I have yet to be able to reproduce it myself, though. Still trying, I will keep my test machines running for as long as it takes.

Well, may be… A new restart was needed this morning. The PC was restarted on Oct. 24th @ 22:00 and needed a fresh restart this morning – Oct 28th @ 07:00.

I managed a dirty, poor-man’s workaround for this issue: I made a simple C# application which restarts the PC daily @ 04:00 AM, when our audience is almost null. This tiny app loads with Windows (using a Startup menu shortcut) and forces a full system restart daily at 04:00 AM. Still to be tested with Windows 2000 but works neatly with Windows Vista. 🙂

My sincere apologies that you had to go to this length to make it work! I will continue to do my best to resolve the issue properly.

No problems at all Leif.. Since our PC is lousy, I don’t care that much. Another thing that we (me and the folks at the station) noticed is that audio gets louder and cleaner after a restart. Pretty weird isn’t it ?
If anyone in here needs this app.. just PM me and I’ll send a copy. It uses .NET 3.5 SP1 and is very tiny – just 10 kb ! My app restarts the PC @ 04:00 AM.

10 KB + hundreds of megabytes to download .NET 😉
10 KB in an ASM app would be easy, and doesn’t rely on any external libraries. But not many people know ASM.

That’s my case JesseG… x86 ASM ? I pass, thanks… If only a 8051 or even an AVR could do the job, I’d go for it on ASM… of course, that’s NOT the case !
I just made it on C# ’cause I have the full .NET framework on my flash drive, so installing it on the BBP PC was smooth.. Anyway, I have already asked a friend to code such a small app using VC++/MFC…

Sounds like crossing the stream in search of water. If nightly reboots are desired, how about a Scheduled Task pointing to
code :c:windowssystem32shutdown.exe /r///Leif

That’s exactly what the app does… A 1-sec timer polls the RTC and check if the present time is equal the restart time..

Leif,
A friend of mine which is also using BBP ASIO is facing the same stuttering issues I am. His PC is a much more powerful than mine – a Core 2 Duo with a Julia soundcard. He’s using the latest (.87) version.
There’s a point I want to mention: audio degrades when stuttering is about to begin and just after the PC restart audio quality is restored – believe me. I have noticed this and this friend of mine noticed as well. I hope this info may be helpful to you.
This friend of mine is very happy with BBP. He has an Optimod 8400, which was the main audio processor. Now BBP is the main processor and the 8400 is the backup one.
