[PD] audio drop outs (windows)

[Karl Nilsson]

Annoyingly I am getting regular audio drop outs (400ms every 20 seconds 
or so) when using pd on my windows box (amd 3200 blah blah). Presumably 
some kind of service is interfering with pd or something... I have 
started a trouble shooting operation (shutting down programs and 
services - even installing a separate) but before desperate measures are 
taken I thought I should put the question out there to see if anyone has 
any experience or suggestion of what could be possible culprits on my os...

I should mention that none of my other audio programs (jeskola buzz, 
soundforge, tracktion) are suffering from the same problem... only pd..

Many thanks
Karl
