That seems pretty regular at 8 to 10 minute intervals. Do you live near a subway line? Or other electric mass transit option? Is the computer on a UPS or power conditioner type supply line?

Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine. - James On 5/20/11, Peter Hoffmann <ph@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hello, > > I'm recording audio 24/7 with a delta 1010 sound card and have a > strange problem: > > Every night at 2:30 I get spikes and some inaccurancy within some > seconds in a one hour length recording.
