Problems with playback from score

[jkarman]

Peter, Mike, I have problems with playback from scores. There's a lot of noise, it's skipping notes from time to time.
It seems to be in the scores on the same places, but in fact, it's everywhere.
Playing from *.wav and *.mp3 files don't give any problems - i.e. the Export to Audio File is fine.

I already removed and reinstalled the entire program.
Do you have any idea what this can be?
Thanks,
jk

What are your computer specs? Are you playing from Garritan instruments? How much RAM do you have?

Hi Miker,

I'm running Finale 2011.
Yes, I'm running VST Instruments with Garritam ARIA player
My RAM amounts to 1.5Gb

Thx,
Jan

Mike, it might be "leakage" from my USB-port.
When using the desktop speaker (power from the wall socket) it seems ok,
while using head phones it produces those problems.
I already changed the power unit, because I had even frequently crashes.
Also might be a combination of problems ...

I'll try other head phones first and let you know.

You might also consider adding more RAM. Your 1.5 GB is really a minimum level.
