MM stops playing when starting new song

Post by sweeney7bb »

Hello!

This is a weird, intermittent issue. there's random tracks that mediamonkey will stop playback on when they load, sometimes as much as 10-15 seconds into the tracks.

I've tried turning off all crossfading, plugins, etc and the issue persists. Seems to happen on various formats / bitrates, etc.

My PC specs are:

Windows 10 pro
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.2GHz
Memory: 16384MB RAM
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti
Sound Card: ASUS Xonar DSX

I ran MM in debug and captured output from both a normal song and a song that stops.

first the working song:

Hi,
Have you tried to change Output plugin to/from WASAPI and see if playback acts same?

Have you tried to reinstall Drivers https://www.asus.com/us/Sound-Cards/Xonar_DSX/HelpDesk/ ?

What is your system output setting I've found out that going above 24/96 require very high end to see full benefit of Hi-Res?

Also it would be valuable to open support ticket and supply us with full debug log from MMW start to close.

the forum did a weird thing with my user name, i made the original post

I'll try the first two

i'm not sure what that 3rd one is - the system setting and 24/96

if those don't work i'll do the 4th

thank you!

i changed it to WASAPI and it got worse, the entire program froze within seconds of playback.

i switched back to default, but went into audio properties and changed the format from 16 bit, 48 khz to 16 bit 44.1 khz (still not sure what your 24/96 meant) and that seems to have corrected. going to be testing today.

This more and more looks like you have driver issue, rather than MMW. as WASAPI uses direct access to sound card thru driver, so if it makes things worse there must be another element making issues.
