I need some real help with Traktor. There seems to be a "bottleneck" somewhere affecting my audio stream. What happens is that once every half hour or so my audio will rapidly stutter for about 1 second, sort of like a “machine gun” beat repeat. It seems to be completely random. Sometimes it will occur during the first track played after launching the program and sometimes it’s later in the set. It has done this for as long as I can recall despite everything I’ve done to troubleshoot it. And I mean I’ve tried everything. At home I don’t mind so much but eventually it will happen during a live mix (actually it already has) and sounds really bad at 10,000 watts. I am most frustrated that I can’t find the problem.
I am using an Alienware laptop AMD 64 3800+ (2.4 GHz), 1 GB RAM, twin 80 GB SATA drives in Raid 0, and my cache sizing in Traktor 3.2 is 32MB but I have played with all the sizes and none have solves the problem. Background analysis is turned off as well as any other settings that might use extra system resources.
I can only think of two other things to try. Go back to 128 kpbs files (I am now using 320 kpbs imports). I don’t want to do that. Or change the location of my music folder to an external hard drive. I don’t think that would make a difference either. iTunes and Windows Media Player do not have this problem so I’m pretty positive it’s something that’s going on inside traktor. If anyone knows of anything that might help please reply. Thanks in advance.

be sure u use asio
if u do use asio increase the buffer
disable antivirus/antispyware and all of this resource hungry apps
enable DMA in ur hard disks
set processor sceduling to backround services
disable screensaver(usually the root of many evils)
and finally scan ur pc for virus/spyware they can use resources!

what sound card do you use ? Does it happen only when using Traktor or happens when you play music on other applications like Winamp etc. as well.
I had a similar problem, but it was a machine problem, reformatted my machine & it disappeared.

I'm using an E-MU 1616 notebook card. It doesn't happen with any other applications although there seems to be some glitching in Cubase as well but I thought that was fairly normal.
I am now trying to determine why my CPU is set at 200 MHz bus speed. I'm pretty sure the factory spec on an AMD mobile Athlon 64 3800 is higher than that. I think it is creating a bottleneck. I have turned off "cool n quiet" features to stop throttling and it still shows 200 MHz. It could be right, but it doesn't seem right to me.

200 mhz bus is right.
anything more and you're overclocking it.
(don't confuse the bus with the hypertransport)
move your mp3s to a fast disk that's got no swap file on it and
i'd advice you to not use the raid as it can really 'choke' your pci bandwidth, something that the emu card needs badly to operate reliably. Also quit all unnecessary! background tasks that are running when u mix and disable your wifi or lan adapter if you've got it on.
