MP3 player glitch


DEALUX

Recommended Posts

I have encountered a problem with the MP3 player on the Steam version of III. There are times when the player freezes not only my game but my computer as well. I don't know if it happens on a specific song or not, but I get some strange high-pitched sounds before it happens. Usually the player stops working and then in a few moments I get the specific sounds and my computer freezes.

 

This happens while playing the game or even in the audio settings menu (when I switch to the player). Has anyone ever had this happen? I think the issue might be with some of the files (which by the way, are all MP3s), I have almost 8 GB of songs and some of them are encoded differently than the others, at different bitrates and with different software.

I used to have a similar problem with the MP3 player (minus the game crashing). What works for me is having all the songs be at the same bit rate. I think the MP3 player can't handle switching from one to the next, especially when the bit rate is not provided.

 

Whenever I put songs in, they have to be at 128kbps.

Mine would play one song, and then when it was switching to another, it would make this horrendous glitchy sound that would force me to switch stations, and when I switched back, it wouldn't play anything.

Yeah, same things happens on my game but my computer freezes too. I am going to remove the songs that I didn't convert myself so they will all be at the same bitrate.

 

Edit: All the songs are at the same bitrate now (320 Kbps) and I still get this glitch.
