Yeah... quite a few, and various versions of the same ones. When my Libbys start clicking seriously (as opposed to a few here and there), they click in all audio playback software. If I shut the systems down, and start them up immediately, they still click. But if I shut the system down for 5-10 minutes and restart... no clicks. Even just leaving the system on, but not doing any work for 10-20 minutes will also stop the clicking. There seems to be a whole host if issues that cause clicks in audio playback and recording. I remember years back a Philips tech running me through a bunch of tweaks to stop my 1st CD-R drive from recording clicks. Some were: -turning off DMA for drives, -lowing audio hardware acceleration and sample rate, tweaking a few settings in Easy CD Creator, and a few other things I can't remember right now. But I've had the problem on my 50 & 70 over the years with Win95/98/98SE, Realplayer, RealJukebox, MusicMatch 4.0 (newer MMs never got off the ground), WMP Vers.xxx, Winamp Vers 2.78/2.81/2.91/5.03/5,.04, Foobar2000 Vers 0.7.6/0.8.1/0.8.3 I'm wondering if I've overheated my CPUs over the years, from the heat I live in to throttling the darned things so hard. On a cross country trip last summer, the 70CT shut itself down a number of times through the deserts with no A/C in the car while playing MP3s and running GPS mapping software. Then, I guess this really isn't the place to be asking about this. There's never been very much conversation about audio issues on the list. I keep telling myself I ought to Google around the net a bit and see what other support groups I might be able to find. Matt __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
