Hi there,

I have a little problem playing music or listening radio. It stutters very often for a second or two, so it's not very funny listening music.
After a little bit trying I realized that there is no stuttering if I play music in fullscreen (read visualization). But as soon as I leave fullscreen it comes back. So I have a kind of workaround but only for my music cause my radio doesn't seems to have a fullscreen. Also it's annoying if I'm editing the playlist and immediatly hear that stuttering.

I changed from BASS to internal, but it doesn't make any difference.
Any hints?

Well, I found the "bug" myself.
It seems to be a problem with the HDMI, if I change the audio device from HDMI to line out there's no stuttering.
So until ASUS fix the problem, I have a workaround. The only problem left is, that there seems to be no way to change the audio device for radio - only for TV and music.

i asume with Radio you mean Internet Radio streams. Right?
when you have chosen BASS as your music player, then that will be used for internet radio streams as well.
and thus all settings for BASS apply as well.

if you've chosen "Internal DShow player" as your music player, then we will use Windows Media Player for Internet stream playback. and then you don#t have control over the audio device.

No, no. I mean the normal radio via DVB-S.

BASS is already chosen as music player, but it's not used for Sat-Radio.

ok, this is a differrent story then.
Radio via DVB-S belongs to the TV module. i can't help you in this case.
