    Nothing about my setup has changed, just a new SVN build 13747

    when playing mp3's the sound quality is poor under certain conditions:

    jumping to a next track makes next mp3 stutter for a few msec.
    while playing mp3 and browsing though networkshares, music stutters.

    Im using ASIO SB live with Kx drivers and with previous builds ( few weeks old I had no problems)

    was the BASS player updated or is something else different ?

    I've got the same problem with the latest SVN :sorry:

    Music files on hard drives or CDAudio : peeps and squees while playing. What a pity !

    I use Lynx L22 soundcard with Bass player and ASIO option.



    Regards.

    30/04/2007 [17:37h] hwahrmann added: Ignoring Buffer Size when BASS Mixing is enabled. When stopping a music title, it was still heard until the buffer was empty.

    is this a fix for the problem ?

    using build 14483, the noise is less, but still present only a lot less with this build

    1: ) it happens way less when just playing music and doing other stuff in MP like browsing, but is DOES still happen

    2: ) when pressing next and previous track it is as worse as ever, every time music is heard and next is pressed, BASS shudders.

    3: ) Howevr , it seem to be a CPU issue, I wanted to test the milkdrop viz and now the stuttering is even worse, like every second it stutters with 80-100% CPU utilization

    Using Dshow if have no problems no stuttering what so ever

    Hope this helps

    using ASIO and kx drivers

    Ok, my problem seems to go away if I disable internet lookups for coverart. It seems the lookups cause a very short CPU overload and hence Mediaportal ist stuttering. But shouldn't the CPU usage for such lookups be limited? So this seems to be a sort of bug.
