Problem: Audio dropping out

[chrisdoig24k]

Hi
I don't really post here, but I have a problem with recording. I'm only running a basic home setup, but things are driving me nuts. I use Reaper as my DAW, but a lot of the time, after about two or three seconds of playback, the sound just cuts out completely.
I built a good computer, so I don't really understand why this is happening.

This is my setup:
X38-DQ6 motherboard
Q6600 Quad Core processor running 2.4ghz
1022mb 1066mhz dual ram (4600mb page file)
Along with three hard drives, with about 700gb storage space.
Tascam US-122L USB audio interface

Anyone got any ideas why this is happening or how I can fix it?
Cheers

If your using a wireless connection, disable it.

I just got a USB wireless adapter and it solved my problems. love it!

So wireless internet connection... not a good thing? I could turn it off when recording and use my laptop for internet things probably. Would that solve the problem?
Thanks

Yeah, try that.
The USB Wireless adapter I bought was only $40usd, and it made my interface usable when I am connected. I love it!
