Yep. V31 is gorgeus. However on my win 2012 r2 once I play v29,v30 or v31 the songs play but the system hangs. Screen freezes and I cannot move mouse. Keyboard do not work. Should I assign mqn affinity to single core?

what's your cpu usage like with your underclocking profile

Well, even under full speed (3,2Ghz) there is 56%!!! usage on cpu core on which mqn is running.

bet somethings amiss
minimizing cpu resource demand was always on the agenda

v30 is about as good as it's going to get

Hi Gordon,
V31 pretty detailled, not sure about some slightly distortion like it is oversharped? Need some more listening to certain files. A pity, I am missing my smaller files from my test suite because of the 50MB boarder. ;)

Regarding CPU usage: The change happened with the 8.1 versions. Till v28 taskmanager showed 0% usage, then v29 with 26-27% and both v30 & v31 with 25%. That was the explanation for the hickups I described in my feedback on v29; they were gone after I have assigned cores and priorities.

All based on my system, same behaviour, as to be expected, with OS booted in RAM or normally.

Take care
Thomas

For wav <50mb Download "free mp3 joiner" and merge same small wave files twice into one. The you we will be able to play :)

that means the wait function isn't working properly, mine is below 1% on mine.

what you can do is open task manager before starting mqn and then highlight mqn and press end task just as the cpu % is rising. memory goes to 95%, but cpu goes back down to < 1%, sounds ok. will need a reboot afterwards though because mqnplay task can't be terminated, but you'll have control of the pc for other tasks.

Are you using Win8.1 or Server2012R2?
It appears to be an incompatibility with the Server implementations, unless you run a Server as well.

Gordon I do not Think I understand it well enough. My folder has: mqnplay, mqncontrol, mqnloader, test.wav. I open task manager. No mqn related processes. To play I hit on mqncontrol. Mqncontrol appears for the seconds in task manager, then mqnplay, mqncontrol disappears and music starts to play. Now if I leave it like that ten music, computer freezes after a while, but music is being played, then even it fished playing I need to reboot the pc because is freezed. If I do what you wrote (kill mqnplay before it reaches its peak usage that freezes the pc) then music stops playing.
I am doing something wrong according to what you wrote?

I use win10

It's just as mqnplay starts and it's cpu % is climbing eg 5, 7, 9, 12 etc select it in task mgr and end it while you can still move the mouse. would advise not to use it.
