Hi all.
I often run into this serious audio playback problem within my MC setup, and although I do remember a time when I didnt experience this issue on my machine, its been persistent going back several MC versions, possible all of the 2018.x point releases.
You can hear it clearly on the recording below, a wildtrack of the line 'Right, I'm off to bed'.
It sounds as if my audio playback gets caught in a feedback loop of some kind - the length of which correlates to the playback buffer, as demonstrated.
Now, generally it doesn't happen on a simple source side clip as per the demo - I tend to run into this issue when I'm playing back sequences with several layers of audio, video and effects... the more processor-heavy the sequence, the more stubborn that glitch becomes. I believe the feedback in this demo is only triggered as Im running screen capture software which is taking up CPU, thus leaving less for MC to use, but at least its useful to show you all what I'm often dealing with... obviously this can be a really frustrating when Im working in large sequences and trying to audition my audio edits!
I believe Im running a qualified setup - HP ZBook Studio G3, currently running 2018.12.1.
I also have a TB3 audio interface in the chain as my output, but it makes no difference whether Im using periphals or just the internal soundcard.
Any ideas what the problem could be?
Thanks in advance.
