Actually the drive and Crouton load failure stuff cleans up if you turn off the
CPU caches. Our code will be fixed for this in 4.05, but in the meantime
killing those caches is the (performance penalized) workaround.
Your bars and tone projects used a particular effect that breaks up and flys
out like the color bars dividing up. When the project was played sync was lost
on the next clip. This was due to the Center Frequency circuitry fault, which
was repaired. So, play those projects, (with caches off), no loss of sync
after the effect executes.
I'm not sure what percentage of the effects are currently functional. The
constallation of which effects work and which don't changes with every
significant change in Flyer code. The whole set will be remade for Flyer 4.1.
So, if you've been running with caches on since you got the machine back, the
CLF and drive lockup stuff will look just like it always did. I did not change
the default in your user-startup. One of your clips was corrupt as well, you
mentioned this in private mail as well.
Up in second paragraph "play those projects, (with caches off to prevent CLF
and drive lockups)"; please apply the change. Caches off or on would have no
bearing on whether the effect causes sync loss or not. Sorry my first phrasing
was confusing.
If the effect does cause loss of sync, then you may need to set center
frequency again. cfadjust.txt is in the library.
