mx daydreamer Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 I didn't have any problems with older versions of sonic stage, but when i installed 3.4 and now 4.0 I've noticed that i have a huge problem. All files i converted to atrac with older sonic stage versions are just perfect, but if i take a new mp3 file and try to convert it to atrack it inserts a loud noise or a click at the begining of each song sometimes a few seconds at the begining of some songs are missing, it happens basically with every mp3 file i try to convert to atrack the same thing happens if i try to play imported mp3 files to sonic stage - the playback is deffective. Te mp3's theselves are perfect if i try to play them in sny other player. so it's an internal sonic stage problem on my computer.The only solution i could find is to burn mp3 to a cd-rw using nero and than rip them in atrack using sonic stage - but it takes so much time and if i do so- the playback is perfect and seamless but some tracks have about 1 second of a previous track infront of them - so thats not an option.Is there anything i can do to solve these problems? I really like sonic stage and i don't want to switch to winamp because of this bug.My hardware and software:Windows XP Sonicstage 4.0 CPAMD Sempron 1.4 ghz512MB RAM 333 MHZ80 GB SATA HDDREALTEK AC 97 AUDIO (INTERNAL)MAINBOARD - GIGABYTE (a pretty expansive one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A440 Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 (edited) This is a very unusual problem. It apparently has something to do with the mp3 encoder SonicStage is using, since you don't have the problem with .wav files. Here are two shots in the dark. That's all they are, but you could get lucky. The one time I had a weird sound glitch with SonicStage, the problem was with my soundcard driver. I had installed TotalRecorder, it had placed its own soundcard driver as default, and SonicStage was not happy about it in the slightest. Try Settings/Control Panel/Sounds and Audio Devices/Audio and see if your Sound playback and Sound recording default devices look familiar. If there's more than one, switch it and see if that helps. Another possibility: Do you have any codec packs installed? The K-Lite codec pack, ffdshow, anything like that? Their mp3 encoders may be incompatible with SonicStage. Set a restore point in XP (under System Tools) and uninstall them with Add/Remove Programs, then try SonicStage again. If the problem persists, then back up My Library (with the Backup Tool under Programs/SonicStage), uninstall SonicStage and reinstall it, either with the 3.4 installer in Downloads (upper left) or Sony's online 4.0 installer. Maybe you'll get a good mp3 encoder working. I'll cross my fingers for you.And if those steps don't work, you might post a question at http://www.atraclife.com , where other people have had some experience with SonicStage.

mx daydreamer Posted September 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 (edited) Thank you!I don't have any codecs like k-lite and i tried reinstalling SS several times. Ithink you are right about the sound driver - i think that this is where the problem is i remember that i updated it the time when these problems began. I'll try re to find a different version of the driver, I'll let you know if it worked Edited September 26, 2006 by mx daydreamer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
