WMA sound issues on Gigabeat
Llorean:
Why don't you tell us what settings are different from default, or post a paste of your config file's contents?
Mad Cow:
I'll reset my settings and put on the latest SVN build and try again.
EDIT: Found the problem, turning dithering on makes it crackle and pop.

You're right! I didnt realize I had dithering turned on, and that explains the differences. Thanks a lot, and sorry for not being more diligent, and double checking the settings to begin with. Now I am completely happy with my new Gigabeat. :)
saratoga:
Dithering will not introduce pops like that.
It sounds like you have clipping, which will often happen with lossy encoded files if they are very loud. Have you tried replaygain scanning your files or lowering the preamp in audio settings?
shoe:
I always get popping when dithering is turned on (all other settings default). Only on certain albums though (purchased in wma format, I don't know the encoding settings). I tried enabling replaygain, (all tracks, prevent clipping, pre-amp at -12). Still loud popping, and it goes away with dithering turned off. It's not a problem for me though, I could never hear any difference from dithering anyway (on tracks that don't pop that is).
