Please allow me to add to this topic. I purchased a license for SoundTap in 2014, and while there were no popping sounds in the source, playing back the recorded music had quite a few popping sounds when the volume is higher. I gave up at that time.... I have tried this now on 3 different computers and the problem persists. It seems there is no adjustment to lower the input volume into Soundtap... I have just downloaded the latest version, and tried a number of different settings for the soundcards - on 2 different computers (Lenovo desktop and HP laptop) to no avail. I tried a number of music sources, including a CD in my CD drive, and it also popped on loud sections. The only visible indications are the red blinks to the right of the volume indicator while recording.. using Soundtap to play the recordings actually shows more red blips on the volume indicator (up to 12) and they appear to coincide with the popping sounds. It appears the soundcards put out more volume than Soundtap can handle, causing the popping sounds. Another topic suggested to turn down volume, and I have tried to find a setting in the computer to do so, but the Soundtap volume indicator does not seem to be affected by any volume settings - you can turn off (mute) the PC speakers and it does not affect the volume indicator in SoundTap . This suggests to me the "hook" into the sound device is prior to any volume controls. This also suggests a driver update anywhere on the system affecting the sound hardware/software could alter the volume... I will be happy to pay for a working version of this software that works without popping sounds... is it possible to add a volume adjustment to the INPUT into Soundtap? If that is possible, I think it should solve these problems.... Thank you for your support - the idea behind Soundtap is a great improvement allowing me to create music collections I enjoy for my personal use.
