Intermittent Clicks and Pops When You Play a CD in Windows Media Player (Q264202)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
Microsoft Windows Media Player for Windows XP Home Edition
Microsoft Windows Media Player for Windows XP Professional
Microsoft Windows Media Player 7.1
Microsoft Windows Media Player 7
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
When you play a CD in Microsoft Windows Media Player, you may hear sound distortions in the form of intermittent clicks and pops.
CAUSE
This behavior can be the result of the inability of the CD-ROM drive to accurately perform sustained digital reads.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, configure Windows Media Player to use Error Correction.
To configure Windows Media Player 7 or 7.1 to use Error Correction during CD-ROM playback, follow these steps:
Start Windows Media Player 7 or 7.1.
In Full mode, on the Tools menu, click Options .
Click the CD Audio tab.
In Playback Settings section, click Use error correction .
To configure Windows Media Player for Windows XP to use Error Correction during CD-ROM playback, follow these steps:
Start Windows Media Player.
In Full mode, on the Tools menu, click Options .
Click the Devices tab and then click Properties for the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive being used for playback.
In Playback Settings section, click Use error correction .
If the sound distortion behavior continues after you configure Windows Media Player to use Error Correction, configure Windows Media Player to use analog playback.
In Windows Media Player 7 or 7.1, do the following:
Start Windows Media Player.
In Full mode, on the Tools menu, click Options .
Click the CD Audio tab.
Click to clear the Digital Playback check box.
In Windows Media Player for Windows XP do the following:
Start Windows Media Player.
In Full mode, on the Tools menu, click Options .
Click the Devices tab and then click Properties for the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive being used for playback.
In Playback Settings section, click Analog .
MORE INFORMATION
Media Player 7 and 7.1 conduct a quick test of the CD-ROM drive every time you insert a CD. This test verifies that the drive can perform a minimum 1X digital read. However, this test does not check for sustained digital reads over a period of time. It is possible that a drive can pass the initial test, but not be able to support digital reads for a sustained period of use.
If you disable digital playback for compact disks you also disable the Visualization, SRS stereo, and Equalizer features. However, these features are accessible when using other functions other than CD playback.
