10 second delay when I hit play

Version 4.20

All updates

When I hit the play button I have to wait about 10 seconds before there is a response from Hoster.
I have already set the audio controls all to a zero setting.
I have tried with and without the remove silence option.

When I click on play and then click on it again again a few times a (not responding) appears. The hour-glass appears and I can't do anything to Hoster during this. The Stop is greyed out during this until the music starts.

it happens with my CDCDG, HDMP3G, HDZIP files as well as Audio files.

When in auto mode, there is no problem, during a skip or at the end of a song.

Is there a registry fix for this or something?

Please

Stef
