Since switching to W7, using Peter's best settings (except am using SFS @ .6 otherwise tics) and, in my system, truly having the Best Sound Ever, the following issues have arisen and they "feel" like they all have something to do with processor speed:
1. Occasional tics when changing volume, two or three then the volume changes;
2. When using cover art/mirror back, inconsistent volume display after alt/u or d. Sometimes the volume display changes and sometimes not, though actual spl does in fact change;
3. When booting and then starting Alaine's awesome IMDisc
bat file, XXoften opens but shows that it started directly from the C drive instead of the A drive. Closing XX, opening Explorer and then restarting from the A drive gets me there. In W8 XX always opened from the A drive when starting Alaines bat file;
4. Once playing tracks, stopping, starting, doing the things we do which at times causes others in the house to question our sanity etc, the XXHighend letters show in either blue or gray though there is no question that the OS is in fact minimized;
5. Sometimes after starting from the IMDisc it appears to open with Engine 3 selected rather than Engine 4. Once without realizing, I played some tracks and when making some setting change realized that Engine 3 was selected. But I'm almost certain it was Engine 4 playing and it was just the GUI display that was in error.
If these issues are not related I guess they should be put in separate threads.
Okay, back to XX and enjoying this snow day off from work!
