Once in a while the sound is interrupted for a couple of minutes and then returns, sometimes the interruption takes only
a few seconds. I think that it happens only with WAV files. There is not any message from XXHE about a problem.

No, but the Release Notes tell about it.

Btw, since yesterday I found that it happens at (as far as I can tell) at exactly 5 minutes. Sound for 100% sure continues after exactly 5 minutes.

So, something we need to learn about W8 (and I did not do that yet Happy).

Maybe today is the first time that I did not encounter it myself. I don't know why ...

Good to mention it anyway Juan; Now I am not the only one, and that probably it is not PC related.
I already tried to mangle USB power settings, but that's not it ...

Regards,
Peter


PS: As far as I'm concerned it happens with FLAC just the same. But I say this only because far most what I have is in FLAC.

PPS: Move the mouse and sound continues right after that. And as per the Release Notes : Watch out for this a little with Phase Alignment active.

Ok, this is the paragraph in the Release Notes that mention this problem:

"Issue for Windows 8:
It can be so (though it can be PC specific) that after a reboot at least one time Playback stops right in the middle somewhere. Usually this is within a few minutes. When this happens, a movement of the mouse may recommence playback. This should be an OS issue.
Now, be careful a bit, because when Phase Alignment is engaged, this will imply the famous tick/plop and it will happen again when playback commences. Not too bad for most, but can be nasty for many.
Here it was never seen that this "stalling" happened more than once per boot session."

It happens some way different in my case:

- Within one album (Wav files, maybe that was a coincidence) and yes after a reboot the stall happened several times not only one time.

- If it was within exactly 5 minutes of the start that I´m not sure

- That the sound continues after exactly 5 minutes was not the case here, as I said the sound continues after maybe 2 minutes (yesterday I timed it) and the other stalls lasted only for about 10 seconds or so.

- What I´m certain is that yesterday and today it only happened within one album and only in one album (if I do not reboot).

I´m not using Phase Alignment, at this moment I´m using exactly your settings in W8 with 09-z9.

Listening to W8 yesterday for a few hours I had the sound stop one time. It returned around 20 seconds later in the track being played. Next time I'll  move the mouse.

It can be coincidence, but I never saw it anymore. This, after I changed power settings on the USB settings which seemed to make it worse. Then I set back the original settings, and now the problem has gone ?

Do notice that changing these settings imply other registrations in the Registry which won't be undone when setting all back. So it could be some sort of "bug" or implied other treatment otherwise.

When I run into it again even one time I will announce myself ...

I had the same problem to start with after first installing W8 but now after a few reboots the problem (fingers crossed) has gone away. Mmm

Just for the record I'm running into this problem as well in win 8. The sound stops periodically with some cracking. Just moving the mouse seems to be enough to continue the music.

Should I mess with powersettings?

I have only a couple of hours musicplaying on Win8 with 9z9b...

I had the same problem when I installed 09-z9 for the first time but I ran Ccleaner and restarted a few times and never saw the problem again. I don´t remember well if it was after or before I installed the last 9b version, I think before, but anyway I haven´t had that problem again.

Hi,

Thanks for the tip. I really didn't do much with win8 expept for installing the win7 shell and xx98 something before. Didn't like the sound back then and never returned until this week with 9v9. Maybe I just don't have had enough boots up till now!

The associated sounds I hear are very "analog" like a cracking on a record with needle full of dust Happy.

Coen - A crack is still there at the beginning of each track but a very low one. I guess you have the z9b version, don´t you?.

After further listening I have also noticed the "cracking" noise sometimes. But last night there was no cracking.

No cracking and stopping this morning....
Just an ordinary reboot.

I could swaer it sounded different from yesterdayevening. Same volume settings.

Win 8 seems a little inconsistent...

Hi,

I have a dual boot configuration win win7 and win8.

I have fond that when I reboot from win7 I get the "win7" boot selecting screen, that is the simple black selectionscreen. If I boot from there into win8, the cracking and stopping occurs.

Booting from win8 into win8 for the second time, brings up the fancy blue win8 boot selection screen. If i go from there into win8, there is no cracking anymore.

I consider this issue for me as solved!

Furthermore, my computer stalls at boot when I perform a restart from win8. A total shutdown and restart does not exhibit the behaviour. Win8 needs an update!

Regards, Coen

Hi,

I have 3 O.S. for now (probably insane):

   - W 7 Home for normal use
   - W 7 Ultimate for XXHE use
   - W8  Pro for XXHE use too.

From time to time the initial boot menu doesn't appear and W8 starts spontaneously but in a strange way (among other things the sound card is not recognized). Sometimes I can fix it closing sesión and choose user again but sometimes a reboot is needed.

Regards,

Maxi

So ... It may take a few ages before at least I understand how all this stuff works, but let's say that a dual boot DOES matter;

With all the experiences I ran into by now - those actually starting with when a Restore point will vanish, there *is* some common boot(strap) procedure and by now I am fairly sure that one piece of OS can be used to start the other. I must say, it needs W8 so even see this happening, but I forgot how you can see it (you can just see happening two boots).
I think it will also matter which of the dual boot is first in the list. Yea, I think I recall now : At some stage I moved my W8 to the first place in line, and since then I never saw this "boot-in-a-boot" anymore.

But when I state that the sound interruptions never happened to me anymore, I'd also have to admit that I don't use a dual boot anymore (by coincidence). So, I too have so-many boots around by now, but they're all just on separate disks (huray for the removable disk bays !).

Anyway, I am right in the middle of how this boot sh*t exactly goes, so I guess I will know more about it soon.
Or less. swoon
