Crackle/Pop when moving windows

I'm currently using SHS 7 with a Line 6 KB37 and a PC with more than enough processing power and RAM to handle my small track counts.

The issue I'm having is, every time I move a window within SHS 7 during playback, I get an audible crackling/popping noise. It only happens as I'm dragging the window.

I've had no other issues with the KB37 interface, so I'm down to thinking it may be a software and/or driver problem.

Anyone else have similar issues?

Thanks!

Try turning down your video acceleration settings in Windows Display Properties. 

It looks like that fixed it.

Thanks for the help!

if it's happening at times when you're not moving anything then that's not a video driver or accelerator problem.  what soundard are you using and what driver mode and latency are you running?

is that what you ment by driver mode??

 
No, but saying you opened the ASIO panel means you're using ASIO driver mode.
Pops and other noises can sometimes be caused by other programs running, like anti-virus programs.

Try setting latency as long as possible and see if that fixes it.  If yes then you can start to speed it up again until it comes back. 

I've used laptops for recording, but I think if you have several tracks and effects running then the laptop may start to sputter again.

how do you turn down your acceleration properties?

57Gregy - That's effectively the same thing as freezing and unfreezing.... but more work.  ;-)

chico11 - Hmmm, that used to work for me with an older machine.  Sounds like you're on the right track but I'm hoping someone else will chime in on reducing processor load so you don't have to keep freezing tracks.

Hi when i look in OPTIONS>AUDIO widow called audio options - ASIO then on the bottom left hand side in general tab there is a button that is called ASIO Panle...., when i click on that there is another window that pops up that is called line 6 audio- MIDI Devices - 3,42  that is were i slide the slider for my buffer size.
the audio options- ASIO has playback timing master --1:ASIO TONEPORT UX8 1-2
record timing master--1:ASIO TONEPORT UX8 1-2 AND SO ON...........
The part that is grayed out is my mixing latency in the 1st window.

I have the webcam disabled, the wifi disabled, and my internal soundcard to.
-my prossesor is Intel core 2 duo cpu t7250@2.00GHz 4gb of ram.
-i run widows vista 32 bit  service pack 2
-internal hard drive is 5400RPM 250gb western digital.
-external hard drive is 7200RPM 1tb seagate 1.5Gbps
-in the resource overview i got a meter that sais 35% used physical memory.
my external hard drive is new so i am useing it to store my project and run them from there. but i used to run them from my internal hard drive and i was having the same problem. i also have another screen connected to my laptop.For other programs that
are running? i don't know how to find them if ther running or not. i hope this helps.....

Yes it is running from the external hard drive, at the bottom right hand  i see 44.1KHZ
,24BIT Disk space (F): 880.9GB (94%). i did change it in global options.

i have downloaded dpc with everything that i said earlier, disabled it's at absolute maximum 1019us. with wifi enabled it's at 31002us.

It's said that this machine should be able to handle real-time streaming of audio
without drop-outs.

I got my UX8 USB direct to laptop, M-Audio keystation 88 USB to laptop, Roland
TD-6v through a MIDI USB iterface to USB in laptop. if i disconnect the keystation88
and the TD-6 the DPC is at about the same.1019 to 1048us.Still getting pops.....

I got a line 6 tuneport ux8 , in audio options i got 44100 Sample rate mixing latency
is fast 11.6 msec then when i go to ASIO panel
the sample rate coverter is one notch to the right audio is 512 default buffer size
and 24 bit default bit depth. is that what you ment by driver mode??
