Not sure if this is an issue with MC, but recently I'm experiencing loud crackles and pops when pressing play or stop and when changing the volume in MC, and also when shutting down the PC. The 'cure' appears to be to play a second of a song through WMP - then MC starts behaving, until the next time I restart the PC. Can anyone suggest what the problem is?
