System lag when changing track

AndyParka · Post by **AndyParka** » Sat Dec 19, 2009 5:13 am

I'm a brand new user of MM coming from Winamp and have fixed all the small issues I've had so far. Every time i press the next track or previous track buttons (both in the main window and on my keyboard) my system lags for about half a second. normally this wouldn't be a problem but I mostly listen to music while playing games, and the lag when i skip songs is obvious and very annoying. If a song finishes and changes to the next song it does not lag, it only happens when i press the next or previous track buttons and it happens every time.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem or does anyone know of a fix that i have not yet found on my searches through google?
I apologize if this has been discussed in another post already, i did do a quick search before making this post with no related findings.
Windows 7 RC2 x64, Intel core 2 duo, 4gb ram, Logitech G15 keyboard Using the Winamp Visual System mylcd plugin (Still lags without the plugin installed). I'm using MM version 3.2.0.1924.

Do you use the last.fm scrobbler? Have you tried changing output plugin? (Tools > Options> output plugins).

Unless last.fm scrobbler is a feature that runs automatically and I've missed it, I don't run it. i have the MMDS.dll and wave.dll outputs and the lag exists with either one selected.

by the way, I'm using a Creative X-fi Xtremegamer sound card if that makes any difference. If it did have something to do with the output plugin would finding and using an ASIO plugin fix this?

UPDATE: I've just installed an ASIO output plugin, which works find, but the lag is still there suggesting that it is not my audio output plugin or configuration.

I've had the same problem ever since 3.2 was released.

All you that use Win 7/Vista can you try this http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... 12#p234612

I tired the Maiko WASAPI plugin but this did not solve the problem. Thank you Peke for the suggestion though.
