(No bug, nothing to complain about, just an astonishing happening)Sometimes I use my Laptop for DJing at a ballroom lesson. For this, I only need it as a kind of jukebox. So I created a hardware profile with only very few services (the essential ones) running under Windows XP Professional. And it’s only MC which needs to be open. To be absolutely sure that nothing can disturb MC, I set the process priority to “high” via Taskmanager.
In very rare cases the playback skips. Last weekend I had one small skip again and so I decided to set the task priority to “realtime”, because nothing else is running so MC can have the (little) power my Laptop can provide. After doing this, every time I switch a view in MC or type a search, playback skips. Looks as if my settings make MC steal the audio playback service (or whatever is needed for a proper playback) all the resources.
In the end I set the priority back to normal (perhaps I’ll choose “above normal” for the future lessons… not sure). No skipping
I thought it would be the best choice to give the application I really need the top priority, but I was wrong.
Because it was surprising me, I guess it’d be worth to post.
