DP 5.13 Crackels intermittently in playback

Post by mistromakr »

In Lepord 10.5.8 was having trouble with program quitting but now I am just getting a crackel after the project has 6 sterio tracks recorded, crackels when playing over most recently edited sections. Snap crackel pop..... I have already tried everything to eliminate what was a chronic quitting problem. Which by the way - just went away for no reason.... In its place is now a crackeling.... Running a New OS dedicated to DP with internal speaker or external DAW 896 - ran all HW and Memory tests - everything checks out! Sounds like digital clipping or a dirty pot --- what??? Yes, believe it... thanks mistromakr
PS am I crazy or is DP 5.13 not totally compatible with Lepord? Both could be true... thanks Louis

Also, some have had luck with changing Work Priority settings.

I have another suggestion but the o/p will have to show his face again to get the answer that may solve his problem.
