So, I've been having this problem for quite some time (since ver. 1.1.11), and I haven't been able to figure out a way to fix it. So, due to frustration, I've finally come for support. During music playback (be it .mp3, .FLAC, or any other file type), I get occasional pop/glitch noises during the track (i've searched, and seen most people are having pops/clicks in between tracks), and sometimes the program will hang for a moment and I'll have no sound at all. I've removed all third party components, done the 'reset page' thing, and updated drivers for all devices via Microsoft or the hardware manufacturer. I've tried to set the foobar2000 process to high priority (it wouldn't let me change it to real-time), and that had no effect. Here are some specifications for my system, and foobar install:

While idling with foobar running, my cpu runs at about 14%. RAM usage rarely tops 50%, no matter what is going on. Now, I realize my computer is old, but it still scores a 5.8 in the Windows Experience index thingy, so there's no reason why foobar shouldn't be working properly. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
