When listening to music in Display View, I have a random but almost continuous "crackle" which doesn't occur in the normal view. This started happening recently.

Any ideas folks? Hardware dying? HW/SW/OS incompatibility due to an updated driver/MC/other software/WinXP ?

Are you running some kind of visualisation? At fullscreen, this could be causing some stress to your system. Try right-click and selecting a different Viz or something basic like cover art to see if that makes any difference.

Indeed I am. I'm running several visualisations I created myself in Vis Studio. See this thread: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=44294.msg306724#msg306724 for two of them.

Until recently I had no problems on the same system and don't know why the CPU load should suddenly be higher unless an update (not necessarily MC) has changed the way things work

I'll check with just Covert Art later and get back to you

Thanks for your help !

If I just run Cover Art, no crackle.

If I just run Cover Art, no crackle.

In that case, try winding down the display quality of the viz slightly.


EDIT: Also worth trying to increase the playback buffer size..

Araj,
I saw this thread and thought of you.
