So, I use foobar at home on a win2k box with no problems right out of the box. I can't get it to work on my comp at work without skipping. This actually may be 'clipping' instead of 'skipping', but it sounds like when a record skips. I'm on a dell precision with a P3 and 128 megs of ram using the onboard sound. I've run it by itself, with all the dsp's disabled and tried the advanced limiter. I've played with different resampler settings and set it to slow mode. The 'skipping' only happens when I'm playing files, not streams. It happens with mp3's and ogg's.
Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Scratcha-scratcha...

So is it skipping or clipping after all?

skipping = pieces of music not played, looped or replaced with silence
clipping = ugly noise in loud passages but otherwise straightforward playback

Have you tried all the output methods (waveout/directx/kernel streaming)?

Could the files you are playing be messed up?

What's your sound card?

Put the resampler in fast mode and check if there's still a problem.

Okay, so it's not clipping. It just sounds like bits get edited out. So, skipping. And I started with the resample in fast mode, just tried it in slow mode to see if it would make a difference. It's absolutely the same with all the dsp add-in's taken out. It happens on all sorts of tracks, mp3 and ogg. and they play fine in winamp. As for output methods, I only get directSound and WaveOut. I've tried both of those with both my available devices (Primary and SoundMax). I've played with the buffer size. No diff.

Okay, I'm a shithead. The problem was with the files. I was sourcing the same song from two different directories. Sorry to waste everybody's time.........
