I use a laptop for music and video playback. I have MC18, an Audioengine DAC and speakers and have used the ASIO4ALL driver with only minor issues (occasional very loud static at beginning of playback).
I was traveling with the laptop and returned home yesterday. I started up MC18 and played an album as usual.
There is now a weak random but constant static sound anytime I play Audio through MC18. It's not blaring solid static, but is about half the volume of the music.
I played the same files with WMP and found it trouble free.
I then changed the audio driver in MC18 from ASIO4ALL to direct and found it to work static free.
I upgraded the ASIO driver to the latest (2.11 beta 2) but received static again.
I have rebooted and toyed with ASIO buffers and MC18 ASIO options with no change....I am now in Direct Mode for the time being.
This is a new issue with no intentional changes to the system I can think of.
Anyone else experience this? Any thoughts?
Thanks,
