Windows media player clicks and pops




















Windows 7 64 bit with latest firmware and drivers. I've tried all the same steps, although changing USB ports eliminates the problem for a short while it soon returns. I've seen a suggestion to try a USB powered hub to eliminate the pops although I don't see why this interface would need it while every other interface I've used on this machine is fine.

Messages: 1, Another thing you can try, is to disable K-Audio-6 as an audio interface in windows, under "Manage Audio Devices".

Then simply reenable it. I often get bouts of corrupt audio for no apparent reason , and this trick fixes it. Granted, it shouldn't happen in the first place. Thanks for your replies, folks. I've still had no word from NI regarding the ticket I put in! Since posting, I've managed to improve it a lot - I downloaded the DPC Latency Monitor program and it was reporting a very occasional spike into the Amber section, hence causing my USB interface to be rather unhappy.

It wasn't on the ASUS website in a sensible place, hence me missing it before! Anyway, that has cheered matters up a lot. I no longer get DPC Latency spikes and the instances of popping and clicking have gone to a large extent However, it's still not fixed. Reaper seems fine he says, touching wood. But if I do simple things such as playing a Youtube video or playing a track from Soundcloud or a similar web sound it will tend to not like it and start with its clicking and popping nonsense.

Very annoying. As is the silence from Tech Support. Hi, I'm using the Audio Kontrol 1 hardware audio card and I also experienced a lot of crackle and pop in my audio, no matter what I was doing. I've found a workaround for this that works every time for me, at least: Doing a Windows restart without shutting down fixes these sound issues every single time.

I start my computer up, log in and choose Restart Windows in the shutdown menu. When the computer has rebooted, I have no problems whatsoever until next time I start my computer up cold. Hardcare , Jan 27, Thanks for that, Hardcore. I'm starting to think it's a 'windows driver with the Komplete' as opposed to anything else - When Reaper is controlling it it seems to be OK. It's just when 'normal' programs are using it as a regular soundcard, it's drivers seem really flakey!

Well that's the theory I'm working on. What else can I do apart from come up with theories and try my best until I get some official help? I'm over here? The guy that raised a support ticket 2 weeks ago? Never mind Is your PC self built or brand name? If self built, post specs? Do you have mo-bo's sound card disabled?

You have to! Have you used black vipers tweak and cut most of the useless services running in the background? If the KA-6 works, it's your PC probably? Hi Faster, I have little doubt that it will be 'something' with my PC - but I have to say that Komplete 6 seems a lot more 'picky' than anything else I've used over the last few years!

No issues with previous soundcards, a Firewire sound interface, Maschine, Kore, you name it. This thing? I haven't tried the tweaks in the link you posted - thanks for those and I'll give them a try. In the meantime, specs for this system which is a self build of just over a year old and otherwise working OK are:- Window 7 with SP1. Intel Core i7 at 3. You can work for anywhere between 10 minutes and a couple of hours before the pops and clicks arrive but when they show up they are there until you reboot.

I've now updated the USB driver twice once to the one hidden in an entirely inappropriate section of the ASUS website and once to the actual latest one. I'm also bang up to date with the Komplete 6 driver and firmware and the graphics card is running the latest.

My DPC latency is betwen and microseconds, so well under the threshold for giving issues. I have also ensured that the onboard sound is turned off in the bios. And in Windows 7 for good measure. All of the above has made incremental improvements but nothing has got rid of the issues completely. I today flashed my bios to the latest level. No pops and clicks so far, but it'll be a day or two before I trust it as if this has fixed it I'll be both impressed and amazed Really hope it has but I dare not hope!

In the meantime, any thoughts appreciated and, if you or anyone else needs further detail please let me know Gary. Still there Youtube drives this thing nutty and it then starts with the pops and clicks! Every time I think I've fixed it, it comes back again! I'll now start looking at the tweaks link from Faster to see if any of them get rid of it - very, very annoying to have to chuck this amount of effort at the only device that seems to not get along with my PC!

Step 1: Uninstalling the Windows Media Player: a. Click on "Turn Windows features On or Off". Restart the Computer. Hope this will be helpful. Incase if you still have further queries please reply with more details and we will be happy to help you. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. This thread is locked. Here's the link:. Proceed by clicking the checkmark button next to it, and a long list of links will appear. Look for the file with the name Microsoft.

It is about 35 MB to download. Note: There is a similar file with the number Don't download this version, as it cannot be used to update the Media Player. Run the file that you downloaded, and the operating system will display a pop-up that asks whether you would like to update Media Player. Click the update button to confirm the action, and wait for it to finish the process.

The new Media Player is ready to use, you can find more about its features in our previous article. You may have noticed that the program's title says Media Player Preview, because it is still being tested. But, now that the app works on the Windows 11 stable channel, it is only a matter of time before Microsoft makes the news official.

There doesn't seem to be any notable changes in the player since the first release. You can resize the app's window to collapse the sidebar labels, i. I would have preferred a button to toggle the sidebar. The mini-player cannot be resized beyond a certain point.

Those are the only flaws in the app, otherwise it's quite good for playing local media files. Even more oddly, searching for Groove Music lists the new Media Player in the results. I'm guessing that the search indexing still points to the older version because the Store app uses the same listing.

It remains unclear whether the app will also be available for Windows 10, but since the Groove app is being replaced, one can only assume that the Media Player will support the old operating system. So I am still with Potplayer. John G. Even if you install a codec pack, MPC-HC or BE needs to be configured before it can read those formats in the proper codec, you need to specify something like the priority and all that stuff.

It is easy to troubleshoot but of course not everyone wants to do it if other programs works. I used to use them and sometimes it was that way especially when using youtube-dl, now I use Mpv. Maybe mpv would have worked with that movie, without having to support PotPlayer which used to bundle crap in their installer but I think it was removed after complaints. The scary part is that some people still install codec packs..

The same people probably look for adobe flash player, ad-aware and java to install on their brand new windows 11 computers. The most hardcore ones have a bunch of installers saved for a rainy day.

No need for this abomination of media player when better players like vlc, pot, mpc-hc exist. I massacred my Windows 11 install, butchered it into a bleeding redmond corpse by removing every preinstalled app etc etc. Of course Windows Media Player and Groove Music as well, both supergarbage at what they are supposed to do.

So, just for some laughs I tried this thing.
