Expected behavior: Mediamonkey is capable of playing back media smoothly
Actual behavior: Mediamonkey skips / hisses / stutters / garbles audio with regular audio playback
MM: latest version as of writing
PC specs: Windows 10, i7-6700, 16GB memory, bunch of hdd's, FiiO USB DAC E-10 for headphone output
What have I tried:
- fresh install of MM
- make sure no media scanning by MM is taking place (not that that should make a difference...)
- rewind a few secs after the stutter / skip => no repeat of skip (i.e. verified it is not the audio file)
- different output plugins MM DirectSound output or waveOut output v2.0.2a or WASAPI do not make a difference, also tried with different buffering values
- No other software on this pc (spotify, VLC, youtube in browser etc.) skips / hisses / stutters during playback of same audio files
- no problem when streaming from this PC to other devices
More detailed description:
- During the skip / stutter there is not silence, it is more like sound is garbled for fraction of a second ( sometimes last few samples seem to be repeated?)
- happens every few second. Not regular, I'm guessing interval is random between 2-20 seconds? Enough to drive me up the wall while trying to listen through MM (which I'd really like to start using again, after calculating what I'd spend on Spotify if using that for the rest of my life).
Thank you
