    htpc audio pops whenever a sound stops playing

    so... i've made some progress. i've set windows media player to start when the system boots, running in the background at a zero volume with a short looped clip. the problem is gone. the receiver is constantly receiving a data stream, so no popping, no audio delay, no audio problems at all...

    htpc audio pops whenever a sound stops playing

    i believe this is exactly the problem. where did you find this setting? i do not find anything in the razer software allowing this, nor is there anything in windows (where i would expect it to be). any help with this? or, alternately, what program did you use to always keep the sound card...
