Audio CD skips at beginning of track
I have noticed that if I play an audio CD with Winamp, within the first second of any track on the CD, the audio stops for about a second, then continues playing as normal. At first, I thought the problem was caused by the fact I was playing the CD in a DVD-RW drive, but then I tried to play the CD in a secondary, CD-only drive, the same problem occurs. I also tried the CD in WMP(yuck), but no skips. Any way to cause the CD to play the track without skipping at the beginning?
I did see some possibly relevant threads in a search, even a thread linked to in TSGH, but all were old, and I found little (helpful)information. System specs: HP Pavilion a1050y Pentium 4 3.0 GHz 512 MB RAM Windows XP Home SP2 Winamp 5.094 Full; clean install |

Hey beanboy!
Try unchecking this option: Prefs (Ctrl+P) > Input > double-click Nullsoft CD/LineIn plug-in > 'Use Sonic engine when possible' And then make Winamp use wnaspi32.dll for Digital Audio Extraction instead. You can also try the DirectSound output tweaks (although those suggestions are not specifically related to CD playback). |

Thanks siebe!
Unchecking the Prefs (Ctrl+P) > Input > double-click Nullsoft CD/LineIn plug-in > 'Use Sonic engine when possible' seemed to work great. |

Re: Audio CD skips at beginning of track
HELP!I've read this and I have no idea how to do reset any of the options like wnaspi32.dll and unchecking other things. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't have the knowledge to make these changes without step by step instructions. Like where do I start?

First, note that this Known Bug is fixed for the next release
(it was a buffer config mismatch issue with Sonic Engine vs DirectSound Output). Until then, the step-by-step instructions are: 1. Tell us what your Windows OS is! These are the instructions for Win2k/XP/2003 If using Win9x/ME then the instructions are different. 2. In Winamp, go to: Prefs (Ctrl+P) > Plugins > Input > in_cdda.dll > config: Keep "Use Digital Audio Extraction" checkmarked Uncheck "Use Sonic Engine" Close Prefs Close Winamp 3. Place wnaspi32.dll in the Winamp root folder 4. Reopen Winamp... |
