Pop / click sound whenever playback begins
ksvane:
I still fail to comprehend why MC occasionally clicks when starting/stopping audio playback... I have never experienced this with another media player (I have tried lots) bit perfect or not. How do I stop MC from doing this? I have tried just abot any output mode there is and have experienced with various buffer sizes as well. :/
JimH:
The way to find the problem is to substitute another sound card, playback device, or another receiver.
I had a similar problem that turned out to be a problem with a Sony receiver. It worked for everything up to 96Khz, but at 192Khz it would sometimes click.
There are many other such examples in the thread called "Weird Problems" in my signature.
BTW, the fact that a problem only occurs with one player does not mean that the problem is caused by the player. A driver bug, for example, may only be triggered by a single unique set of circumstances.
Please describe your equipment and exactly what you're playing.

Hi ksvane, to start with could you let us know a bit more on your system:
MC Audio Settings in tools --> options --> Audio--> Output Mode:
Connection type: SPDIF, HDMI, the green plug from your sound card etc
Connected to what: direct to speakers, Make and Model X Receiver, TV etc
Any when does it currently pop and click?
ksvane:
I am somewhat of a noob but I shall do my best to answer...
Output mode is currently Direct Sound... when I don't listen using my pc's humble speakers I connect it to either my headphoes, stereo or cassette deck through mister green plug. In the case of my cassette deck that connection is converted to what I believe is SPDIF.
Sound card is Realtek HD (I think).
jmone:
If you are using any of the Speaker / Headphone jacks on your audio card then you are not using SPDIF (which is fine by the way). You can try to do a couple of things:
1) if you are on Vista/Win7 try changing the MC Audio Settings in tools --> options --> Audio--> Output Mode to WASAPI or WASAPI Event Style. This will give MC exclusive access to the sound card and bypass all of the windows mixer so no other app or windows sound will be heard.
2) Make sure you have the latest Sound Card Drivers installed - these make a big difference to bugs like this.
