Hi, with Fmod 4 latest, I get more and more music streams that produce “clicking sounds” when used. For example: [http://streamosw.ir-media-tec.com/neu/mp3-192/pocketradioplaye](http://streamosw.ir-media-tec.com/neu/mp3-192/pocketradioplaye) [https://stream.radiobrocken.de/live/mp3-128](https://stream.radiobrocken.de/live/mp3-128) At first I thought, these were buffer underruns. But thats not the case. Is it possible to fix this issue? Grisu P.S: If someone can do this, I’ll will donate some money to… ---

What machine, what build settings? I don’t hear clicks on your files (the originals, I presume?) ---

FMOD 4 sounds old, is upgrading a possibility? ---

I’m sorry being a long-time supporter / user, “old” is Fmod 3.x for me, when I started my app. 😛 I use Fmod 4.44.64 and build for win32 machines. From around 2.500+ radio stations (\<\> streams), I only get this issue with around 3% lately. Sorry, I don’t know how to switch to the PR Fmod Studio change code-wise. I know these streams work fine from other apps, even Firefox. That’s what’s bugs me the most. Can one pay to get legacy support for just the mp3 streaming part? ---

Work has been done on internet streaming with FMOD Core API , you should just switch to this API instead. It is very similar to FMOD Ex’s low level API, there is a transition guide at [https://fmod.com/resources/documentation-api?version=2.1&page=white-papers-transitioning-from-fmodex.html#fmod-studio-core-api-versus-fmod-ex-core-api](https://fmod.com/resources/documentation-api?version=2.1&page=white-papers-transitioning-from-fmodex.html#fmod-studio-core-api-versus-fmod-ex-core-api) To pay you would be looking at a premium support level which starts at $15k USD per year. ---

Thanks for the reply. Sadly, I can’t afford 15K for a freeware project. Would it be possible to hire someone of the fmod staff for a few hours to only update the mp3-streaming bits of Fmod 4 (without renaming functions)? I should be easy for someone knowing the system. I’m not qualified for this. ---

have you tried using FMOD Studio’s Core API ? As I said it has been worked on a lot more than FMOD 3 or FMOD Ex and probably supports more stream types. ---

I have checked out your new Core API. Sadly, it breaks a lot of function parameters. Doing spectrum related functions are a complete “mess up”. I’m an old dino… started with FMod 3. I was hoping, that I could hire a fmod dev for some hours to “uplift” the streaming parts of Fmod4 a bit. Is it possible to “rent a dev” for some hours? ---

The spectrum functionality is the same, it is just accessed through an FFT DSP now instead of having a dedicated function. This lets you analyze any part of the mix graph. ---

Thanks for trying to help. I have been using Fmod since 2008. I’m just a hobby coder. Never made any “money”, My freeware app is used all around the world. I’m deeply sorry for not having the resources / skills to adopt the code. Users say, Wwise is the “best” out there today. I still think Fmod rocks!
