Loud hiss on all audio playback when Sound Forge 17

David-Leeper wrote on 11/25/2023, 10:00 AM

SoundForge 17.0 installed and registered okay on my Windows 11 Lenovo laptop. From the waveform display, it does appear to record audio, but when I play it back, I get a weak rendering of my audio underneath a huge hiss over the top of it. I'm using a Yeti microphone that works fine on all other computers and on the laptop with other audio products. Moreover when SoundForge is running that loud hiss is there for all audio - even YouTube videos for example. If I reboot my whole laptop, the problem disappears but comes right back once SoundForge is running again.

Can anyone help??

Hi

Check that the Samplerate of the recording matches that of your audio card - ie they should both set to the same value, 44.1 kHz(CD quality) or 48 kHz are the 2 most common.

I concur with @SP. Based on the description, it has all the earmarks of the 'Magix Low Latency 2016 driver' issue.

btw, welcome to the Magix Sound Forge users community @David-Leeper.

Thanks, guys - removing that 2016 driver from the registry seems to have fixed my problem!
