Q: Quicktime Preview/Playback Stopped Working -  AQMEIO.cpp:183: StartIO_Sync: timeout

I have 2 systems in my studio that have all stopped playing back quicktimes (any format or codec) - they freeze, studder, then do nothing.  I cannot preview, or open the file and playback anything.

 

Both systems are new mac pros (Late 2013) 3.0 GHz, 8-Core systems with 32/64GB of RAM with D700s - both running 10.10.5

 

Here are some steps I've taken so far:

-check/apply all updates for Yosemite

-Verify/Repair disk permissions

 

 

Here is a copy of the actual error from the console during the action:
