Hi Peter,

For a soundcard I use whatever resides / came stock within my machine. I use USB out to either a USB DAC (City Pulse or mhdt Constantine) or to a HagUSB and then S/PDIF from there into a regular DAC (various but at this moment Cal Labs Sigma II). I change DAC's quite a bit and the DAC doesn't seem to have an effect either way. I spoke too soon on my earlier post as well. XX did not play through the rest of the album but skipped anther song (maybe the 7th). Sometimes I do get an error message WP Change (I think) has stopped working. What happens then is the song starts to play through silently, then the WP Change message comes up and when I close that, another error message comes up, XX.exec has stopped working. Then when I close that error message its full stop and I have to press play again. The player then starts on the song it was on when the first error message occurred. This doesn't happen nearly as often as the silent playing through of some songs though.

Hello Peter,

After the initial fix not working I downloaded the second fix and it works fine. However it did not fix the problem (for me). My first album tried played the third song silently then continued on through the album. Album is Van Morrison's Keep It Simple (if only it were so...), .wav files made with EAC. Track length of the song before is 4:30.76, the silent song is 3:16.53, the song after which played fine is 5:43.10.

Hi Peter,

I have been using XX from the beginning and following things even before in the BD Design days...

There have been so many versions that I don't remember exactly when it started but it has been quite some time now. I figured that it was me or my machine (and it still may be). I don't spend the time on these things as some people here do. So if I had to guess, maybe a couple of months or more now. And I update pretty regularly.

Still working on my signature....

Hi Peter,

I know my first post was a bit confusing... I am sorry. The tracks skipped aren't unusually short or long... It appears very random to me.

I will work on my signature. I don't often post so I haven't spent the time,  my apologies for that as well.

I usually just check in from time to time to update to the latest version and see if anything new or old has been solved.

Best,

Mike

Hi Peter,

I use a Toshiba Satellite notebook PC running Vista Home Premium. It has an Intel dual core processor, 1.6 Ghz. with 2 gigs of RAM. My XX settings are Scheme 3, Nothing and High.  DAC is set at 16 Bits.

What is happening to me sounds (to me) identical to what Gerard stated in his first post.

Best,

Mike

This happens to me a lot and has for a while. Sometimes a song will play all the way through with no sound. So, as the songs play, one or two will play normally and then one may play through with no sound (slider moves through the song) and  then the next song will play through normally. I have watched this for a while now and can't seem to find a pattern. It is pretty random. So when this happens, I press "Play" as the slider moves silently along. Then the song will restart and play normally.
