Morgoth Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 (edited) Hey.When I play music on my MZ 510 or on the pc through Sonic Stage I just get a large part of tracks that falter.I was using SS1.5 that came with the minidisc for a while and had no problems until a message appeared saying there was an error and the program needs to close. it happened when i started transfering a large group of files into my minidisc and not one by one.then I installed SS3.3.The error message didn't seem to appear, though when I finished transfering the music on to the minidisc(with the SS3.3) I couldn't hear normaly music.The music was too off quality even for an SP4 transfering rate. (I compared it to an old minidisc with several same songs i have recorded in the past with Sp4).Moreover the most annoying probelm is that the music was faltering. it was impossible to listen.though this hadn't happen to all of the tracks yet to a big collection of them.Hoping for someone to come with an idea, because I already had thoughts running in my head about selling the minidisc and buying an MP3 player in the future.thanks.

A440 Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 (edited) Are you running a lot of other program simultaneously, or do you have an older computer with a slower processor and limited memory? SonicStage needs a lot of resources, and it falters and delivers bad sound if it doesn't get them. Shut down things like web browsers, email programs, windows skinning and anything else that might be using your computer's processing power if you don't need them at that moment. Open Task Manager (right click an empty space on the taskbar (bottom) and click Task Manager) and look at Applications and Processes to see what's running. Use Google to check out some of the less comprehensible filenames. Windows always warns you about shutting stuff down, but unless you shut down something like Windows Explorer or some of the Microsoft services you should be OK. You can also do Start/Run : msconfig and look at Startup items to see what's loading automatically as you boot up. Again, use Google on the non-obvious file names to see which ones you really need, and uncheck ones you obviously don't, like qttask (Quicktime Taskbar) or iTunes service. I have an HP printer that tries to load half a dozen things on startup--unchecked them all and can still print with no problems.

A440 Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 This is a wild guess, but try reinstalling or updating the driver for your computer's soundcard. Maybe there's some incompatibility or conflict with SonicStage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Having experienced a similar problem and solving it by eliminating Total Recorder, I suggest you look at these solutions:http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?s=&sh...indpost&p=85028 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
