It's not clear to me if the SD card is always the music source when you experience the noise issue (Amazon desktop app: streaming or downloaded files?).  If so, SD card or reader might be the problem.  Three thoughts re the source:

1) Latest card reader driver?  Latest drivers all around?

2) What is your setting for MC Options > Audio > Settings > Memory Playback?  Try changing it.

3) What happens if your music files are stored on a local Hard Drive or SSD, instead of the SD card (change the path in MC Options > File Location > Audio)?  You could create a small test library or else copy over all your music files.

Hi, and thank you

The Static issue mostly happens when I'm streaming BBC Radio (BBC Sounds, BBC 6 Music) which I've set up in WMD.  Strangely, it's not been too bad recently.
But, no, the SD card is not my primary source of music.  That's mostly BBC 6 as WMD or my Amazon App

My Settings/Memory Playback option was set to "no memory playback".
> I've changed it now to "load full file (not decoded) into memory"

The card reader driver, and all drivers, are up to date (as far as I can tell) according to Control Panel.  Just the standard windows drivers for the card reader.

I'll try some local files too.  I don't have enough disk space to copy everything

I'll see how that playback change affects things.  Thanks again

JeremyFife:
Update - upgraded to MC31 and I haven't seen the issue again - all good.
