Yes, that's the one I was talking about.

I have a recording from last night and was going to check this over easter.
I want to check to see that when it occurs if it is repeatable at the
same position
or if it is semi-random when it occurs.
What are your audio settings i.e. are you upmixing to 5.1 from this
stereo channel.
What is the upmixer set to, best, etc, (not at my machine so I cant
remember them off hand).
It may be that we can adjust these to work around the problem.
Like I said, I'll play around over easter and let you know.
