Recently got an HP Windows computer running Windows 8.1. I have installed the latest Windows updates + HP website and updated audio driver.
As a voice artist & radio commercial producer, I do audio editing. Problem: when I start to play (any) file in Sony Sound Forge, audio, "ramps up, i.e, it doesn't begin at full volume; starts off quiet and ramps up over course of about 2-3 seconds (to finally get to full volume). If I isolate to play just a click or pop, etc = can't hear it (no time to ramp up).
Ramping is fine for most music apps, etc. (offers nice fade in) however, not good for editing audio :-)
NOTE: discovered "Mickey-Mouse" workaround. I play a (six-hour) YouTube video (and mute it on YT) then go back into Sound Forge... in this case: now NO RAMP UP; works perfectly! (Audio then plays back just it should.)
If click stop on the YouTube video, hwoever = problem returns (D'oh)!
Anyone have any suggestions?
Addl notes:
Using Line out (for speakers) - not my video monitor for audio.
Using internal sound card (which I like for both recording and listening - fine quality).
