Hi, From reading Ivica's and Lee's posts it appears lucky that I don't have these problems. I don't know what else to say at this point but I'll continue to watch the thread and write back if anything comes to mind. I doubt it will help but have you changed any of the meter settings in hdspmixer? Maybe some of this would change with a different choice there.
