Here’s a strange bug I was pulling my hair out trying to diagnose. My Zune
media player, as well as Windows Media Player, were taking forever to start playing
tracks. I would see “media changing” in the lower left corner for almost
30 seconds or so, then the song would start. That really stinks when you want to
jump around different tracks and listen to them.
You’ll never guess what’s causing this delay. It’s the audio enhancements I blogged about before. Poopie. If the
“Disable all enhancements” checkbox is not checked, my media players
will be slow in starting any song. Check that box, and bam, back to normal.
No idea if this affects iTunes’ playback… I’ll have to give it
a try I suppose.
Gah. What the heck could the two have in common? Anyway, I’m blogging about
it in the hopes that someone else running into the same problem can find out how
to fix it.
