Hiss between tracks

[jawnoble]

Hi. I'm playing flac files from a NAS. most of which I ripped from CDs with EAC to WAV then converted to Flac using mediamonkey. Since switched to musicbee as nicer interface.

Between a lot of tracks a get a second or so of hiss. Not always and i can't work out why.

Anyway to suppress?
Thanks!

Just some quesswork:
Try Preferences > Player
Check options like "Play some silence at startup", add/remove silence, etc.
Maybe one of them helps.

Thanks Vincent, That was already on, so I tried with it off - No difference.
Also tried a few other things on that page: remove silence, add silence, increase buffer size. Still inter-track hiss.

I notice the time display on the bottom of the screen plays right to end without any hiss,
then there's a blast of hiss
then the counter goes to zero and the next track plays.

A strange problem. Looks like you will need to apply some art of deduction:
Do the problematic tracks also hiss in-between after you moved them to your local pc and play them from there?
Is it only the tracks that you have ripped yourself that hiss?
Does the hissing ever occur if you only play a single track?
If you set a single track to play repeatedly, do you get the hiss?
Are there any plugins active?

thats my suggestion as well -do you have any DSP plugins enabled?

Hiss still there if looping one track.

Moved track to local c drive and played from Groove music - no hiss.
Play c drive track through musicbee DirectSound to pc speakers - no hiss.
Play nas track through musicbee DirectSound to pc speakers - no hiss.
