OK I have a new problem since upping to 1.09.

During my broadcast today, The Audio module and Recorder module froze twice during a 1 hour broadcast. The audio VU indicators froze and recorder video froze and hung. Audio output stopped until I right clicked module and reset audio input. Recorder frozen until I stopped recording, saved and restarted recording. Program and Monitor video continued however. Also when recorder froze the ustream feed went off line but streamer continued so I think FMLE burped too. I was streaming to ustream at the time and audio and video froze and then after reset audio module was back but video was out of sync on ustream. I then stopped streaming and closed browser to reset FMLE and then re initiated stream and video and audio sync ok on ustream. Same PC and settings, same cameras. You can view my last ustream recordings here (http://1goodshepherd.org/2009/11/22/christ-the-king-end-of-times/) The videos are split into 2 parts since I had to stop and restart stream. Part 1 at 19 minutes you can see the sync problem. Part 2 video was after I reset stream and sync is better but not perfect like normal. These videos are on Ustream. My recorder wmv files are better in sync but choppy and audio cut in and out just before video on recorder froze.

My output on ext monitor to DVD was ok and only hick-upped when the Audio froze and I reset it. video smooth and in sync with audio.

This has happened 2 broadcast times after going to 1.09. I will go back to 1.07 for next Sunday and report after that to confirm if problem re occurs.

Nothing changed in that regard and I have already done extensive testing with this version. So don't forget to look for external causes, other programs, buggy sound driver, high CPU, (almost) full HDD etc.
FYI: if for some reason the sound card driver hangs, everything that uses audio will hang (Audio, Recorder, Streamer, FMLE). Are you using one of those (very common and very annoying) RealTek HD cards that remove the audio device if you unplug an audio cable? Maybe one of those cables came loose?

No RealTek HD but using Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Sound Card - PCIe. If that is the cause. I give up. I cant win. Onboard sound on mobo was bad so I replaced the card. My sound quality is outstanding now. I will try 1.07 and do further testing to confirm all connections. Man I hate Vista because so hard to trouble shoot.

Seems to have been an isolated incident. Last 2 broadcasts everything worked great! I think I'm done with this one Mike.
