Audio Dropouts when printing to tape...

[DVX100Shooter]

Can anybody tell me why I would be getting Audio dropouts when printing to tape? The length of footage is about an hour. Just trying to figure out what could be causing the drop outs. Its not there when playing back on the timeline while editing but notice it when outputting to tape.

Is it a brand new tape?

Not the most insightful response...but this is already on page two so I figure I'll at least bump the thread.

Are you going to tape via FW or analog? Also is everything rendered? I believe that some audio can be "real time" rendered, but I don't think it would play out to tape unless it's rendered.
If everything is rendered and your going analog check your signal path, especially cables for lose or bad connections.
