BleepingComputer.com: Dropouts(other Than High School)

OK, while recording from any source through my mixer I get varying lengths of dropouts (no sound-making it sound like a skip on a record)there is no consistency in time or any other function. I've tried varying the input amplitude, the line in amplitude, the source, the recording program, grounding/ungrounding the equipment, switching to mic input (which gives me different problems) My computer has plenty of ram, a speedy processor, a sata hard drive and so on. Never had this problem before even on much older computers. I can edit these out but it is fast becoming a royal pain. Any ideas?

What interface is the computer connected to your mixer through? (like USB 1.1, USB 2.0, Mic-in, Firewire)

Through the line in, didn't wor'k through the mic input, something didn't match there, possibly the impedence.

Have you tried rotating the 3.5mm male side (I'm assuming it's 3.5mm right?) around in the female plug? When I had an old MP3 player the sound would be bad if it was rotated to a certain position. Sorry, I can't help you any further than this.

not only did I rotate it, I joysticked it and eventually replaced it
