Post:
when SETI runs on my machine, I get pops and even distortion on my music (winamp, cooledit, whatever).
I have a soundblaster live card and just reinstalled my machine (winXP) but the problem cant be solved.
when running predictor- or climateprediction-units i don't get that problem, its only seti, and that since the first BOINC-seti!!!
I read in a forum of someone having the same problems (not here).
does anyone have an idea how to fix it?
it's really anoying and i don't want to quit seti...

thanx

Yep, I would like to have a list of checkboxes for different kind of events. (Maybe someone wants to know when a computation has restarted...)
You should be able to uncheck everything down to real error messages.
Would be really great (and not so hard to implement, I guess)

I had the same problem. I solved it the dirty way:

You just might search for the bad paths in your \boinc\*.xml files and delete the sections (after shuting down your boinc client!).

you must delete the part of your local saved preferences in 'account_setiathome.berkeley.edu.xml' and the download paths which I think were stored in 'client_state.xml' (not sure!)
After restarting BOINC the job was done.

If this doesn't work you can still reinstall BOINC as well ;-)
