[WT-support] WT freezes randomly with contest recorder on

[Christian Janssen]

Hi Laurent,

last year, we had the same issue here at the station when we had audio recording running. We then switched off the audio recording and the freezing was not anymore.

The audio recording was done in that way that a new file is created every 40 Mb (around 1 hour). The freezing happened randomly about 3 to 7 hours after starting the audio recording.

My feeling is that something in Windows 10 wants to get access to the audio resources, doesn't get it and creates trouble. Windows 10 is known to be a trouble maker with audio...
