Hi Guys,
Been using MC since MC 9 or 10 and love it.
Now with MC 13.166, I am frequently getting pauses in music playback (flac files are the only ones I have) and "buffering" appears for a split second or 1-2 seconds. Sometimes it even skips (repeats a tiny section of the music a couple times). Practically every song.
I have spent hours and days reading the forums under MC 13 and Buffering and nothing is working that I can understand. I have set buffering to 0.5 seconds (even tried 5 seconds which seems to lessen the frequency of buffering I think), prebuffering to 6 seconds. Still buffering. I turned off my AntiVir a/v software and still does it. All DSP settings are unchecked. Still buffering.
I did not have this problem with any MC, including MC 12.
I have installed MC 13 on a newly reinstalled Windows XP Pro SP 2 (without any updates per Dell) on a newly formatted 750GB hardrive. Dell 8400 with 4GB Ram. 3.2 Ghz. This is my dedicated music computer with only 35GB of flac files. Antivir a/v, Internet Explorer 8 to download MC updates and album covers, MS Excel for one file, Genie Soft back up software, Streamzap remote control (works well BTW for only $30 - taught my Home Theater Master MX-500 so I can control my HiFi and MC/computer from one remote!!!!)
Please help stop the buffering and skipping via my nice HiFi set up....Music is very important for me.
Thanks
