New laptop buffering issues

(1/2) > >>

Hi,

I've just opted for a better spec laptop,  SSD, I 5 processor, 8 GB RAM. I had to reload MC 16 and set up the configuration again. I use powerline gigabit connection. Laptopl language is gigabit also. I had no problems on last laptop with buffering.  Same set up but using MC 16 with windows 7. But new laptop is windows 10.  I can't remember the buffering settings on my old laptop/mc 16 set up. But I've followed guidance on computer audiophile site.  But I Get buffering every few tracks which can last minutes!  I've tried rebooting to clear caches etc. But no joy. Any advice on settings?

Pre buffering 20 seconds _ it was less but hasn't resolved by increasing.
Buffering 2 seconds.

Thanks Jamie

You might try MC22. 

Are the files local?  Or on a network drive?

What kind of files?  FLAC? 

samwisesam:
All flac files converted with dbpoweramp on compression 5 setting. I am using a NAS via LAN/powerline connection. Never an issue on old laptop using 100 mb LAN connection. I thought moving to SSD and gigabit L A N would have been better!

Cheers

JimH:
Could you try copying a few files to the local drive and playing them there?

samwisesam:
Will do, I'll get back to you
