Snap Crackle Pop!

[Goodrat]

I'm trying to adjust things so I don't get any pops on my audio recordings, but I just can't get it right.
I experimented with my HP oscillator to get a nice clean sine wave just to be able to hear and see glitches on play back. Every setting I tried, some were better than others, but eventually all had some kind of pop.
I just defragged and optimized stuff, but no complete success.

So I fired up my copy of Cubase VST 24, and no pops!
Any comments? I'd rather join the Cakewalk bandwagon.

AMD K62-400, FIC VA503+ MB, 128K Ram, Matrox G200, PCI128 sound card. Maybe I should buy a BR8 recorder, I'm not much for midi anyway exept for creating the drum track.

OK, here are settings that seem to be pop free:

1) Windows98: multimedia/devices/media control devices/wave audio device/properties/settings, slider to left (2 seconds)

2) Cakewalk:
options/audio/general: buffers in playback 4;
buffer size 124 (62 worked also);
Advanced/ IO buffer 128; (maybe I should get more ram)
uncheck wavepipe.

Now an update:

After recording a more complex waveform (guitar) I'm still getting random pops!

Dedicated 18GB drive for audio, virtual memory set for min and max 256. Interesting though, I thought I set that for my D drive (the 18GB I mentioned) because that is the faster drive. Hmmmm...

I hope I am getting close, because I'm playing with Cubase also (that has no pops) but those windows will make you go blind.
