On 08 it was pretty clear how to change Foobar's priority. On 09, it doesn't seem like it has the option to permanently set Foobar to "Realtime".

I have to go to the task manager to do this EVERYTIME I boot up.

Is there a way to permanently change this setting?

The priority control you are referring to only affected playback threads, and has moved to the Advanced section, under Playback.

Thanks K.

I am travelling, so I can't check for sure, but are you refering to the setting that lets you change from 1-7?

Yes. This range is also greater than the original, which only allowed a thread priority as low as normal, while this would allow you to set it as low as idle, if you're feeling masochistic.

I am not sure this is it. See, ocassionally I get a pop or click when using my wireless airpanel...no matter whether I set this to 1 or 7. But, when I go to the task manager and change the priority to Realtime, the pops disappear.

What should it be set to 1 or 7?

And how do I get windows to keep the settings for Realtime?

7, the default and the highest.


You could modify your foobar2000 shortcut so it points to something like:

Thanks for the info!!

But I tried it and it didn't work. But, i used the original adress in the shortcut and just put the "cmd.." part before it and the adress was a bit different. It said "program files" instead of "progra~1".

Windows gave me an invalid file type error.

This was the shortcut on the desk top.

What did I get wrong?

Make sure to put the path in quotes, since you have a space:

That won't work. The path cannot have a space, as far as I know, so you must use progra~1 (which points to program files, unless you have a similarly named folder lying in your C:\ directory.

It worked with progra~1!!

Thanks for the kind help!
