Well, I like most of the new features in Acid3 but I'm
getting lots of popping and crackling during playback. If
I have playback going and I place the mouse pointer over a
button, I'll get a audio pop/dropout when the Tool Tip pops
up. I also get lots of pops when moving the horizontal or
vertical scroll bars during playback, to move around the
arrange viewing area.

Anyone else having similar Audio problems? I couldn't find
any setting that would help fix the poping(like buffer
sizes or something)

I dont think its the audio drivers because I get the same
popping no matter which audio device I use. Tested playback
on SoundBlaster 128 and Midiman Delta 1010 and popping was
very evident on both. I never experienced popping/dropouts
like this when using Acid 1.

My system specs:
Pentium3 500Mhz
192Meg Ram

At this point Audio performance is MUCH more solid in Acid1
than it is in Acid3.

Oops, I did just find the buffer slider. Had to move
Playback buffering up to .80-1.0 seconds to eliminate the
popping.... Seems to be working ok now.
