Hey,
Have been getting random stuttering after about 15 minutes of watching a movie or tv show.
Originally i thought it was my wireless network, but it even happens on gigabit lan connection. happens trying to stream from 2 different pcs pver smb, so the problem is definitely on the htpc, im starting to think it may be an add on causing the cpu spikes and causing the stutters although ive only installed aeon nox, iplayer, tvcatchup and youtube, and this is a clean install of windows and xbmc12, with latest bios and drivers.
The stutter in this log happened at: 21:18:02

will post more logs as i get them incase they have any useful info.
i7-3770T DH61AG 4GB RAM
Pulling my hair out over this so any help will be really appreciated!!!

seems to be the same as:

everything has previously been working perfectly, with the exact same set up and settings, only thing i can think of is resetting my amp to factory settings and reconfiguring it from scratch, after seeing this:
i. AVR issue (HDMI only)
Modern AVR with HDMI will usually support CEC (different manufactures have their own names for this) and the option to pass audio onto the HDMI out of the AVR, both of these can cause issues if enabled. If the of Sound - Playback devices in Windows reports the AVR then this should generally be ok, if however it reports the name of the TV then this is indication that something is not right.
Make sure all configuration is done with the AVR on and connected to the PC in order for Windows to properly detect the AVR, if you're not sure on the order things were powered up then reboot Windows while leaving Windows.
For Onkyo:
In Hardware Setup -> HDMI
Audio TV Out - Off
HDMI Control (RIHD) - Off
Power Control - Off
TV Control - Off
although the pc displays the amp name, so cant see why this would be the cause.
EDIT: So the amp settings seemed to be the fix, turning off HDMI Control (RIHD)
