Skogkatt: Clicks when starting playback

<< < (4/7) > >>

JimH:
How about VST?  Anything else unusual?

Does it happen with more than a single format of files?

Skogkatt:
No VST, just plain vanilla MC.

I have all my library files coded in .ape 16 bits 44.1 kHz.

Tried some flacs in the past under MC16 and, as far as I can remember, the click was there. I can try again with wav, flac, and mp3.

Sgucci99:
I absolutely agree with skogkatt, a product close to a perfection from the audiophile point of view, cannot
have clicks when playback starts.
I too, hear these clicks when the playback is stopped in the middle of the sound, and a new track is selected.
Moreover, higher is the volume of the stopped music, higher is the click.
 I m not a technician, but  It looks like there is an internal register which mantains some sound from the stopped track.
I m not using a receiver but a separate DAC.
With a receiver the problem doesn t show up.

JimH:
So you have a problem with the DAC, but not with a receiver, and you think MC is the cause?

You could try the article on DAC settings on our wiki.

Try WASAPI (both kinds) and ASIO.

What is the complete version of MC that you're using?

What type of files are you playing?

Sgucci99:
yes, because the receiver applies few seconds of silence before starting the playback. indeed in some cases, I loose the first seconds of music. It is not that with the dac I always ear the click, but only when the playback is stopped in the middle of the music and I start playing another track. If the track ends and I select a new one there are no click at all. For this reason the cause is not the dac.
the sama happens with Wasapi event style, but I use Asio because it sounds better.
Thr problem happens with both Ape and Flac files.
