Skogkatt: Clicks when starting playback
Skogkatt:
I have an external DAC connected through coaxial SPIDF. The DAC is capable to go up to 24 bits 192kHz and has an internal ASRC.
However, I also tried a HRT Music Streamer II with USB interface >>> same problem
To be clear: I never get clicks with the first play nor the second or third but just if I stop a track in the middle and start a new one.
Sure, I can double click to a new track and let MC cross fade but with classic music it isn't so pleasant.
To prove my theory of filling buffers with silence I also tried to select in options "Stop: Fadeout (slow)" but apparently it stops music immediately with no fadeout (same with all the settings).
JimH:
Are you using the same ASIO driver for both devices? Did you try getting the latest one from the manufacturer?
And you say the problem is the same with WASAPI?
Skogkatt:
I use ASIO4ALL 2.10 because the Realtek HD chipset (I get SPDIF from it) apparently doesn't come with a specific ASIO driver (Realtek driver is 2.66):
in combination with my DAC and these drivers, MC plays flawlessly music at any sample rate with exceptionally good sound quality (at least for my taste and needs) except for the little artifact mentioned.
With HRT Music Streamer I only had the chance for a brief test during a friend's visit so I used ASIO4ALL.
With my main DAC I have also tested WASAPI obtaining similar results but I'll check again: as said previously I think I have identified a recognizable pattern but this is far from an accurate scientific test.
The problem seems to appear also closing and reopening MC, so it should exclude MC' s own buffers but, perhaps, its effectiveness in flushing my combination
of ASIO/Realtek driver? I'll test again this as well to see if it is repeatable.
I might be wrong (I'll check again to be sure - I don't use it often) but remember I noticed the same problem with MC16 on my laptop which has a completely different HW/SW combination,
using the onboard sound card and headphones.

Please try WASAPI Event Style.
We don't recommend ASIO4All since it's just a wrapper for Kernel Streaming, and we have native Kernel Streaming when needed.

Hi
I have an issue that may be related to the above buffer issues.
I use the vst plugin Voxengo pristine space for room correction. I am using linear phase filters, hence they pre filter the music (ie they are non causal filters that cause a delay).
The music plays fine from a playlist, but if I skip a track, I get the sound playing that was remaining in the filter before the next track starts.
Is there a way that the filter could be flushed on a track skip?
