Audio Crackles and Pops

pilotedge · 2008-02-23, 15:44

Hi installed Pure Audio hoping it would fix my problem of cracking audio. I'm on vista 32bit, with a trust 5.1 digital soundcard. Audio plays fine from WMP, and the audio of video files from MP is fine. Even with the buffers up at full the quliaty is terrible. I've looked everywhere to see if others have had this fault with no joy. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :-)

OK so after further looking it seems that the crackling only occurs when the MP menus are showing. i.e., it's fine when MP is minimized or in fullscreen visualisation. Thoughts?!

What's your CPU usage when the MP menus are being displayed and the crackling is occuring?

Hi,

It's only at 10%. Turns out in fact that if I disable Desktop visuals in the MP shortcut compatibility, i.e. force Vista Basic mode on launch, it is smooth as. Maybe my video card is naff!!

Now all I need is to find out how to get a nice graphical album artist view like in Vista MCE.... :-)

Maybe an interrupt sharing issue with videocard... Moving the soundcard into different slot sometimes helps.
