Questions / Re: Pops during music playback

« on: January 04, 2022, 12:22:02 PM »

Every other device I have (Mouse, keyboard, microphone) seemed to work fine in the 2.0 slot. (currently only the mic is in there)

So you're thinking it's a dac issue? It makes me wonder because I don't seem to have an audio issues in videogames or movies.

How is it connected?
optical/coaxial/usb?
If usb, have you tried other cables? And/or different usb ports?
(certain usb 3 ports sometimes have had issues with certain dacs in the past, try a usb 2 port?)
And if you are using a usb hub for your dac; don't.
What's your Windows version?

It's connected to my PC with a USB in 3.2 gen 2 port, the DAC wouldn't get recognized in the USB 2.0 ports I had.
USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports made the sound horribly crackled from every source constantly.. now it's just MusicBee and occasionally.
Straight to the motherboard ofc, no hubs.

Windows 10 latest build

Ah shit, my bad. Didn't mean to post this in the wrong sub.. can a mod perhaps move it to the correct one?

Have you tried doing a forum search on this already? (best use Google for that)
It should lead you to several similar issues and how they were resolved for other users.
 

I did and none of the supposed fixes worked for me, most of them solved their issues by changing the output or the buffer and neither did anything.

Questions / Pops during music playback

« on: January 03, 2022, 01:41:03 PM »

Hi,

I've been dealing with a lot of pops and clicks while listening to music, I often skip back to see if there's a fault in the music file but once I go back the file itself seems fine.

I'm using a Schiit Modi 2 as my DAC and Wasapi Shared as the output, exclusive or Asio doesn't change anything in that regard. Neither does changing the buffer around, I've seen topics where people put the buffer high to resolve the issue and people turning off the buffer to fix it but neither works for me.

My music files are all on an SSD.

I'm on version 3.4.7805 P

Anyone got any ideas on what to try?
