i tried searching without pulling anything up, and i checked the last 5 pages or so, and haven't seen anything like this.

using VBR MP3 or FLAC, on Windows XP using FB v0.9 downloaded yesterday from the official site (i'd been using .8.whatever for a while with no problem), playback speeds up a whole lot when i click the 'back' or 'up one level' buttons, or if i click on a folder and go into it. the console doesn't output anything, and hitting 'stop' and then 'play fies it. it sucks, even though chipmunk versions of Kyuss are pretty cool. problem persists when one track ends and another begins

Hmm, try to update your soundcard drivers?

man, that's weird too. i'm running a laptop with a PCMCIA (i think that's the acronym) sound card, and i just tried taking it out and using the regular soundcard as a check. i get no playback at all, the counter doesn't move and the little graphic thing goes into a wide round curve. FLAC breaks too, but the graphic thing just freezes on a normal looking image. sound playback on Realplayer works fine

edit: hey, even weirder. with realplayer open, the original problem is fixed. close realplayer and it comes back

final edit: my external soundcard has virtual outputs, and switching from 7-8 to 1-2 seems to correct it completely. i don't really know why, but it's enough that it works

thanks

Did you actually change your output device in the output preferences of fb2k after changing your soundcards?

initially it was set to indigo i/o channels 7-8, same as Foobar 8.x, and that was having trouble after i upgraded. when i changed sound cards, yeah, i didn't change the output setting, and that's why playback was broken. i don't know why channels 7-8 were having trouble, or why the problem corrected itself when realplayer was open. setting it to channels 3-4 worked ok, except one time i got the same error, and setting it to 1-2 eliminated the problem entirely
