Hi Owen, The qDebugs/printfs that fire when you load a track might be causing your dropouts, if you're running from the terminal. (Printfs cause huge performance hits.)
I've found that piping Mixxx's output to /dev/null helps: mixxx >& /dev/null If that doesn't improve performance, try launching it from Nautilus or compiling with qdebug=0 (should turn off output). Thanks, Albert P.S. If this improves performance for you, we should put it in our FAQ because it's handy knowledge.
