I have to agree with Bill Moore on one point, that this is not a hardware problem. However, even if it is a software problem it may or may not be a Hoster problem.

The statement has been made that the changes to the Hoster player are causing the problem, but as far as I can tell MTU didn't make any changes to the "player" portion of the program (correct me if I am wrong Admin). Much was changed, enhanced and added but the core player hasn't changed.

So what could be causing this problem of leftover data in the audio buffer? Could it possibly be the settings for the sound card? Could it be a non-standard sound card? Microsoft updates (or lack of), firmware provided by the sound card mfg and even bios firmware from the motherboard mfg all can affect these settings. These are the reasons you see here in this forum so many suggestions to keep your Windows updated and your hardware (CD Drive, Video, Sound, and Motherboard) firmware updated.

GD123 - You have proven that re-importing doesn't help and thanks for trying.
Bill and GD123 - I know you say it can't be the hardware and I don't disagree, but would you please list your motherboard/processor and sound card in a post here. There may be some of us out here that have the same or similar equipment which can help with the troubleshooting. Bill if you can please try to find out from all three you have been working with.
It would be good to know if they and GD123 have checked for updates from above mentioned too. This can narrow down the search.

I have no doubt that the MTU staff will also be looking at the code to see if there is some way to fix it from their end too.
