Hi to you all,

first of all I've to thanks to the creators of this great software. It's the best, no competiton at all.

My question is:

while playing some MP3 and browsing the Internet with Explorer or doing something other, I can listen in the background some bothering noise of the system. Sometimes It happens even if I have had disabled all the system sounds.

Is there a way to conceed the "exclusive" access to the audio drivers to the Quintessential player ?

Thanks for reading.

If what you are hearing is a hissing or buzzing sound it could very well be coming from interference from power cords that are running near your speaker wire. It could also be the speakers themselves. Do you ONLY hear this sound when you are using QCD?

I can hear this sounds even with other software, but only when run multiple instance of other software (Explorer, file sharing, Outlook Express ... ). Sounds are quite equal to zero when I run the MP3 player standalone.
