converting CD to Wav; crackling sound

[dyet]

Hi

I am using the converter to make some wav files from my CD.

After the conversion when I play the wav file I am getting crackling sounds on the file.

However, if i use other progs to do the program like Jet Audio or WinAmp. No crackling sounds.

Any suggestions on what settings I would have to change?

Thanks

Dave

Are you using dMC Audio CD Input? or dMC alone from Windows Explorer?

see here: http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthre...light=DMA+mode

Also, try setting the communication to "Windows Built-In (Limited)" which is found by clicking Options, the "Advanced" button next to the CD Drive selection.

Hi

Tried the DMA thread, it said on my controller "DMA if Available" so i am assumming that's fine. So I left it alone.

I installed the Nero Speed and changed it to maximum.

I rebooted

then re ripped a different CD and still the same crackling noises...I tried Jet Audio and I am getting no crackling.

Are you using WIndows 98 ? If so there is something extra that needs to be installed. http://www.dbpoweramp.com/Windows95-Update.htm

The cd may be copy protected. Disable table of contents detection, it may help.

Windows XP Pro/Intel Pentium M 1700MHz/1GB ram/ ATI Mobility Fire GL T2/

The cd isn't copy protected..

Does it do it on any CD or just on one particular CD or on a particular group of CDs? What is one such CD that does this?

Re: converting CD to Wav; crackling sound

When I run (rip) dbPoweramp Conv. the crackling noise is on any cd.... (for example; I have ripped Steve Hackett - To Watch the storms, Steve hackett - Darktown.) I get the crackling.

When I run (rip) JetAudio or WinAmp on any CD..(for example; I have ripped Steve Hackett - To Watch the storms, Steve hackett - Darktown.) I don't get any crackling.

It just seems to be coming from dbPoweramp.

Thanks

Make sure no DSP effects are running, some effects such as increase volume would cause crackling if setup wrong.
