ok so ive had many beers!! but just wanted to report my experience tonight with my s4 and my windows laptop.
since i got my s4 at the beginning of June if been really panicking about audio drop outs, pops and crackles!!! i read lots and lots of horror stories about sound major sound issues and how windows 7 machines just cant cut it!!
Well i firstly got some really sound advice from Jonathan Blake and then followed some of Smitttens tips for optimizing windows 7. and as of now ive been at a party using my setup for 9 hours and not had one single glitch or sound issue!!! 9 HOURS!!!
There’s probably not a day that goes by when I don’t marvel at the joys of my TP2/S4/X1 set-up on W7. Finally got my KRK5’s yesterday, and wallowed in glorious glitch-free sounds for a couple of hours. Glad for you Koop. Thanks for posting.
