Some notes are dropped out when playback on MC28

In MC's audio device settings, turn off integer mode and exclusive mode if they are on.
Under device options in the same area try increasing the buffering there.

Thanks a lot, Bob. Turned memory playback back to off.
Checked audio device setting, integer mode is off, but the exclusive mode is on.
Tried turning exclusive mode off, it does help a lot - much less drop-out during the song.
However, it appears that there's an apparent hiccup when song A is ended and song B is about to start.
There's still some drop-out that happened occasionally, but much better from what I feel.
Is there any other setting that I can check and tweak, or is there an option on MC that I can possibly turn on and attach a copy of the log in case you might be able to investigate?

Also in audio settings, try making track transitions gapless and change all of the stop/pause options to immediate.

I am not so sure that this behavior is caused by the new version of MC.
Can you run an older version of MC to test with? Maybe the last version of MC28 that worked well? Your Mac is very modern and has plenty of processor and RAM. I would expect it to work well with MC without any weird tweaking of settings.
What is your audio device and how are you connecting to it? (USB, digital audio cable, HDMI, etc)

Thanks, Brian. That is what I thought. My audio device and peripherals are very simple: Just Mac and plugged in with my earphone.
And the good news is that I've spotted the suspect -- BitDefender Anti-Virus....
It has been installed on my Mac for several months, but not sure why it will affect MC28. Maybe it has changed the way it checks the usage of audio devices.
I've uninstalled it and now everything goes back to normal. Thanks God.

BitDefender on a Mac? Wow, I would not have guessed that. In my opinion that kind of software is unnecessary on a Mac. But that's just my opinion.
Most importantly, I'm glad you seem to have fixed the problem. :)
Brian.
