hey thanks mortal I wasn't sure if that was proper or not
so I enabled de-bug mode and got a log .... but after some more searching it appears another user had a similar log and someone said it is most likely a sound issue and suggested an earlier build of gpxpatch.
I am trying 4.02
here is the log anyway if anyone can spot something obvious
