if i every time i pause then resume foobar i get white noise until i pause and then resume once again. this occurs for both 0.9.2 and 0.9.3b4, and i have since reformated once so i dont think it has anything to do with my os... any suggestions?

look for a driver update for your soundcard. I've had the same problem with the soundmax drivers for my onboard sound, i updated them to the microsoft HD audio drivers and all is well.

thanks, ill definately give that a shot since i also have an onboard which utilises soundmax drivers...

here's a link to the microsoft drivers i used http://rapidshare.de/files/27767106/kb888111.rar.html
there quite hard to find. the only problem with these is that it kills the digital out.

thanks for the link, but it doesnt seem to have worked... oh well thanks anyway. i guess ill just have to avoid using the pause button

Don't worry, it's digitally signed by Microsoft.

lame. it requires me to have sp2 installed and **** i hate sp2 *cries*

I installed these and I still have this problem. I have an Asus P5RD1-VM with SoundMax Integrated Digital HD Audio onboard... Every time I pause/play it still puts out that white noise.

I have the same problem. I use an Asus A8N-VM CSM with SoundMax. Already wrote Analog Devices an email without respond yet. The kb888111 update helps if you can't install the sounddriver but it doesn't help for our problem.

I have a same problem with A8N-VM CSM... Use kernel streaming plugin for Foobar2000 and everything will be OK. And don't forget to select "KS" in output settings in Foobar2000.

I've had the same problem - the Kernel Streaming output component fixed my problems too.

I think it must be a bug in the SoundMax drivers. It's seriously tempting me to got and actually buy a real soundcard though.

I've got an Asus M2NPV-VM. Kernel streaming fixes this error for me, too.

Another solution:

Control panel -> Multimedia -> Speakers settings -> Specify... -> (second tab, I have XP CZ, so I don't know whats name is in XP EN) -> Hardware acceleration: set it to 2nd => basic acceleration.

Now the white noise is gone, but I think some other problems will arise.

That didn't do the trick for me. Anyone found a solution yet?

Yeah, use Kernel Streaming output plugin

How do I solve the problem with other applications that don't have an option for kernel streaming?
It's not really a satisfying solution.
You can also uninstall the drivers and let windows install High definition ADI 1886 drivers but then you have to abandon some windows functions.
