On my parents system, I have a dual core machine running as their CQC server and also their SageTV server (running a HDHR and a Hauppauge 500 PCI tuner card). I have a m-Audio Delta 410 card installed along with a USB-UIRT. I use a Digi Edgeport 416 to connect their devices via serial ports. I have three instances of the CQC audio player (regular windows NOT quicktime) and a file tree music repository for their ripped media.
The problem is that their audio sound will play fine for a while. After the system is up and running for days (if not weeks), the music output from the Delta 410 card eventually deteriorates - it sounds like there is bursts of static and skipping. It also seems to get worse as time goes on. The static/skipping happens more and more frequently. Rebooting the computer will solve the issue for a while (again, days if not weeks) until it will eventually come back.
To make it tough, I am an hour from their house, so I cannot just swing over to troubleshoot the problem when it happens. It isn't the end of the world for them to reboot the system, but obviously I need to try and find the problem.
Has anyone else experienced similar situations? Any suggestions? I'm not sure if it is a hardware problem or some software issues. Basically, I have no idea what might be causing this issue. I run very similar hardware on my system and do not have any problems like this.
