Hi,
I just installed the new release of XBMC and had a play on my laptop (Acer TravelMate 2410). There seem to be a few little slow-downs in the program, but on the whole it's OK. Videos play fine, menus work OK.
However, if I try to play mp3s via the music player, they start off crackly, hissy, static-y and stuttering. In other words, completely un-listen-to-able. The only option I've tried fiddling with is converting multi-channel to stereo - it is a basic sound chip after all.
Anyone else had this problem? The files are stored locally on my hard drive and play perfectly OK with WinAmp, WMP, etc.
Update: Sorry - running Windows XP Home SP3
Update2: Switched the visualisations off (tried milkdrop and waveform) and it seems to have sorted out. I guess it's a CPU utilisation problem. Grr. No such problems with visualisations in any other media players
