[QUOTE="rlevis, post: 1021975, member: 81718"] Probably not many people use a Winamp DSP plugin, but I've got a good one I can't really do without called OctiMax 5.1 which isn't available any longer. I removed it today and it's working today, but it could take 2 or 3 days to be sure if that's the issue. Actually, there has always been an issue in the Winamp DSP implementation in MusicPlayer, or perhaps the BASS.DLL implementation. I've used OctiMax in Winamp and other players that support Winamp DSP plugins for the last 8 or 9 years and had no issues with it, but the same plugin would crash MP with an access violation at least every few hours. I did send in reports about that but the developer said there must be a bug in the DSP plugin. That's very unlikely. In the end I wrote my own intermediate DSP plugin which loads the Octimax plugin and passes the audio through, trapping all errors and ignoring them. I've used this method for years and it stops MP from crashing. There is the rare audio glitch because the audio isn't processed for a split second, and sometimes a sharp click sound of digital noise. Anyway, if it all behaves without the DSP, what I should do is modify my plugin to buffer the audio from MP in RAM and send the buffer through Octimax. This will prove if the issue is in the MusicPlayer or the DSP plugin. [/QUOTE]
