I get loud audio pops after I hit stop in Cubase 11 [Trial]

Hi, I get loud pops every time I hit stop in cubase 11.

do you see them as peaks or only hear them?

Yes I see them as peaks and hear themā€¦

What kind of microphone do you use?

Iā€™m not recording Iā€™m editing/arrangingā€¦

okā€¦ more info please

in specific projects ?

What happens if you set up a totally new and blank project ?

Hi, I just opened a blank project used a new wave file played, stopped. Pop happens after I press the spacebar. I

what buffer size ?

do you have any older versions installed and do they do the same pop ?

The buffer size Iā€™m using now is 512. But I tried higher buffer size 1024. And I still got pops.
No Cubase 10.5 didnā€™t do that for me.

What happens if you not using the space bar to stop playback?

Transport controls does the same.

Just some guesses nowā€¦have you tried deleting your preferences or starting in safe mode ?

If you do delete preferences then C11 will try to recreate them from your 10.5 install so you might want to do some renaming before you start C11

How do I delete preferences?

your preferences are stored at:
ā€œ\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Steinberg\ā€
ā€œprogram nameā€ will be something like cubase11_x64 or similar - just rename it

I did like you told me the pops are gone thank you!

Very sorry but they are back nowā€¦

so close !

anything change between ā€˜pop freeā€™ and ā€˜popā€™ ?

No I just reopened a blank project and rendered a new midi file from a synth and played it backā€¦ it pops after I hit stopā€¦

Do you still have version 10.5 installed - can you try the same test ?
