It seems that I found the main reason of glitches that appear in Foobar on my Dell. After listening to the music for about 2 hours started to hear that clicking sound periodically...again.. DPC Latecny checker was showing latency of ~6000ms each 15 s. To my surprise it was enough to disable network adapter Intel Wifi link 5300 AGN in device manager...and glitches were gone. Latency immediatelly dropped to ~600ms. Thanks everybody for help. Case closed

Maximum latency 1717 ms... (~1100 ms constant peaks during 10s interval). It seems that Foobar started to work well (can not hear any ticks) after that moment when I installed JRiver MC 16 few days ago ...will continue to listen to be sure that problem is gone.

Thanks for answers! I will do latency test...hope will find the reason. Also will experiment with track quantity in playlist...

Hello computeraudiophile comunity! I am pretty new in this sphere... So I think that this forum could provide help for me to solve some problems that I'm facing now. I own DELL studio XPS 1640 laptop with Windows 7 professional x64. I'm using Foobar 2000 for playing WAV, FLAC, APE and other lossless audio files... My laptop is connected to Arcam rDAC through USB. I'm using direct sound drivers. The problem is that after some time of playing music strange glitch (short click or tick sound) appears from time to time while playing. When I restart my PC and start listening to the music again everything seems to be ok for some time (hour or two) and then again that short distortion sound appears. I noticed that the less audio file bit rate is (for ex mp3 320 kbps), the longer music plays without any glitches. I tried to change buffer size in foobar, virtual memory size in W7... nothing changes. ASIO, WASAPI the same. I also tried another player (WMP)...same. What's interesting...is that on another laptop (Lenovo T410i, W7 pro) I do not have such problems... So I think that this is somehow related with Windows configuration or with my Dell's drivers... If anybody has any ideas how to fix it...you are welcome Thank you in advance!
