It¡¯s Not Making Any Sound
You¡¯ve added sounds, but you can¡¯t play anything... There are a few things you can check here.

• Are the speakers on and plugged in?  (Sorry, management made us ask.)
• Can you play a Wave file through Windows sndrec32.exe or another sound application?   If you can't there may be a problem with your sound card's configuration or drivers.  Refer to your soundcard documentation to try to figure out what is wrong.
• Load the volume control that came with your soundcard and make sure that the Wave device is turned up.
• Another program may be using the Wave device.  Mixcraft will put up a dialog stating that another application has the Wave device in this case.

Playback Is Stopping Too Soon!
If you are trying to play sounds in Mixcraft and it seems to cut off too soon or it may have some other strange behavior, you should make sure that you have the latest drivers for your sound card. Download the latest drivers from your soundcard manufacturer¡¯s website!

Sound Is Breaking Up / Popping Or Clicking / Lagging
When playing the session, it sounds like someone is starting and stopping the sound real quick, repeatedly. This could be because the computer has slowed down due to other programs running at the same time.

Mixcraft has to work harder as the layers of sound increase. Try increasing the buffer size or the number of buffers in the Advanced Section of the Preferences Playback tab.

If you are doing a lot of recording and you find that the actual recordings are being broken up, you may change the Recording Settings on the Recording tab of the Preference Dialog.

Additionally, you may choose to reduce the # of effects that you are using during recording. Go ahead and mute the effects. You can always turn them back on later. (Effects use significant CPU power.)

Another trick is to reduce the number of tracks. Each track has its own separate mix down which costs in terms of your computer’s memory and CPU power. If you don’t need sounds to be separate tracks, try and put them on as few tracks as possible.

Sound Is Breaking Up / Popping Or Clicking / Lagging
If you have some sounds selected, you will not hear your volume, pan, or clipboard changes during playback. Once you restart playback after making a change, you will hear the changes.
