Mixxx

mixxx has fuzzy playback+ crashes

Asked by edkimatta

hi im running mixxx 1.70 with two serato scratch cv02 timecoded vinyl and a maya 44 usb soundcard, with an external mixer. Im using the latest asio drivers for the maya 44 and have the input level down to min on its settings and output level up to max. In mixxx i've got the input level up so that the the left bar is almost full and two right bars hit on the visual are at about 60%.

With this set up i mostly get quite good playback at around 6ms latency but sometimes playback, especially bass will go very fuzzy, putting the latency up seems to make it worse and going down does not get rid of this.

Ive tried pretty much all of the versions of mixxx and i have the same problem, and when its seems like the fuzzy playback has stopped my other problem will happen. When i load a track sometimes, it seems to happen more in the right player mixxx freezes, i normally drag songs from my music folder and soemtimes it will run all day then i load a song and it freezes.

ive got a advent 5511 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7350 processor, 2GB RAM and 250GB hard disk.

It would be great if you could help sort these problems out because its great software, thanks in advance for any help

thanks pegasus, i have managed to sort out the problem with fuzzy playback with your advice, by turning the input volume down in mixxx.
However I still sometimes get unstable playback, especially on high notes where it sounds like there is a small pitch fluctuation, and although mixxx crashes less frequently, it does still crash sometimes when i load a song

If you haven't already, please try Mixxx 1.7.2 as it contains some bug fixes.
