Hey all:
I've been experience a problem with my ASUS Xonar Essence ST in foobar2000, output through WASAPI. If any other application tries to make a sound when I'm playing music with foobar2000 through WASAPI, there would be a popping sound.
For example when I browse my files in Windows Explorer, opening a folder and going back a level would make a popping sound, since Windows is trying to play the navigation sound. Same thing happens with chat notification sounds - the sound won't be played but a crack/pop would be heard. I've tried playing many files (all EAC FLAC), same problem.
Otherwise there is no problem with my output at all. If nothing tries to play any sound while foobar's playing, I get great audio. Does anybody else have the same problem?
I'm on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, running the latest non-beta Xonar Essence ST driver (7.12.8.1777). This happens with both headphone and speaker/RCA output. I have HiFi mode on in the Xonar control panel, which is supposed to turn off all sound processing (turning HiFi mode off doesn't solve the problem). Sample rate is set to 192 kHz in Xonar control panel; I tried changing it to other values, problem persists. foobar is at v1.0.3, buffer length of 1000ms, output format is 24-bit. I tried lowering the buffer length and changing the output format down to 16-bit, problem again persists.
Thanks in advance for any help.
