Intermittant clicks / pops
Posted: Sat Sep 06, 2008 8:57 pm
I've been using Audacity for a couple of years and have recently noticed a small problem - how long this problem has been present for I'm not sure!
When listening back to some recent audio that I've recorded in audacity there appear to be random clicks or pops that are not present on the original. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to these noises (i.e once every 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc) and they seem to appear on all recordings - music streamed from online, music from a USB turntable and music streamed via WMP from CD or DVD.
The only 2 "post-recording" functions I tend to use are the normalisation and noise removal options. The noises are present on recordings with no normalisation, and on recordings with no noise removal, so it must be happening during the actual streaming not in post-production.
Any ideas what may be causing this? I've tried shutting all non-essential applications such as Windows, Word etc., whilst recording, but it seems to make no difference.
Thanks for any help.
