Background Noise on Sound Forge 4.5 XP Recording -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:Background Noise on Sound Forge 4.5 XP Recording Posted by: JimmyG367 Date:10/17/2001 4:13:44 PM I'm a new Sound Forge user. I just recorded about 60 minutes of spoken voice using the software. However, when I play the recording back I get very light "pops" in the recording every 5 to 20 seconds or so. However, when I listen to the sections over again the "pops" do not occur in the same places. The "pop" sound is similar to very light and occasional surface noise when playing a vinyl album (if you can remember what that was like)! I'm running Windows 98 with 64 megs of RAM and a Crystal Sound Fusion sound card. I'm also using an external hard drive to record and play the file from connected through an IDE port in a Toshiba 433Mhz laptop. As I want to produce copies of this recording onto cassette ASAP any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Update sound card and video card drivers. Make sure you have the latest version of Forge XP 4.5 (which would be 4.5h) and consider lowering hardware graphics acceleration. To do this, right-click on your desktop and choose Properties from the menu. Click the Settings tab -> Advanced button -> Troubleshooting tab and lower hardware graphics acceleration to none.
