First instance was crackling when the screen powered off on the PC. I've set it in Power Options to turn off the display after 1 minute as I find white noise/dropouts seem to occur when the display turns off or shortly after. This is the first time I've got crackling though.
I then left it playing music for about ten minutes but muted. Came back and unmuted it. It's dropping every half second to one second in a weird phasey kind of way. It continued constantly. Only restarted AIR solved it. Unfortunately I forgot to look at the Task Manager to see if memory/cpu usage had increased.
What player are you using on Windows? Do you have bit-perfect enabled in AIR? WiFi or Ethernet streaming?
PC & Devialet are connected by ethernet.
With AIR 2.1.3 & fw 7.1.1 I found:
* iTunes & AIR in non-BitPerfect - white noise
* JRMC 19 & AIR in BitPerfect - dropouts
* JRMC 19 & AIR not in BitPerfect - dropouts.
So I seem to get dropouts when BitPerfect, white noise when not.
Now with 2.1.4-beta4 & fw 7.1.1 it's crackles/weird pulsating. No white noise or dropouts any more.
I don't think I've ever been able to reproduce the issues with my MacBook Air (wi-fi) & iTunes or Audivarna or whatever players I've tried. I haven't tried for a while (since probably last summer) though.
I'm not a keen fan of AIR anyhow so only try to reproduce these issues. I use USB streaming from a Cubox normally as it sounds a lot better to me.
