Clicks and pops playing audio and audio exported in Sound Forge 17

Hello Im using SF17 importing mp3 (the audio is clean of clicks and gaps).

When I play imported audio, I hear clicks, skips, and interruptions aleatories in the sound. If I export the audio it contains cliks and skips.

I use a Fireface 800 128 samples, which does not produce any problem in the audio in other apps (cubase synths, and many others).

I read other user with similar problems so I followed the instructions given for that problem, except the audio buffer which is greyed in my case so I cant change that.

Its very frustrating to have that problem wich I dont have experienced for a long long time using audio in computers, Im using SF17 just recently, so I hope someone can help.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Magix Sound Forge users community @lovejazz.

Try "Always proxy compressed formats" in the 'Options> Preferences> General' menu.

Hello, thanks for the tip!, at first play it seems to sound correctly now.

Strange thing is that it seems to be a tweak for slow computers that cant decompress in real time the compressed audio audio, but my pc is a 285k with 64gb, so would not have figured my pc cant do a mp3 in real time.

Still learning SF17.

Thanks for the fast advice, great support.
