[QUOTE="Symphy, post: 617828, member: 55478"] Yep Foobar can do that. Problems like this are most likely driver related (interrupt-sharing, inefficient programming). Note that ASIO4ALL also uses the factory drivers for your sounddevice, and does not control the device directly. Efficient operation of the drivers is important when using ASIO, because only very little buffering is used. When using MediaPortal, the crackles and pops can be worse then when using other software, because MP uses quite a bit of resources. In general, if you have a seperate soundcard, it sometimes helps to move it into a different slot. If you have a manual for your motherboard, look for an interrupt-sharing table. Make sure to put the soundcard in a slot that is NOT shared with your video card or TV card! If you have an onboard device, only thing you can do is make sure your TV card does not share interrupt with it. And as with all things: quality comes at a price. Getting good results with cheap onboard audio devices is more a matter of luck then wisdom :) [/QUOTE]
