Cubase SX - ticking noise

OMFG it's a bomb!!!111

Cubase SX 1.02, Win2K, M-audio Audiophile w/ latest drivers,
PIV2.4gHz

When I have lots of short clips - the same wav clip
repeating over and over - I get an occasional rhythmic
ticking sound that lasts for the length of the clip.

I don't think it has anything to do with latency or DMA
buffersize or IRQ problems, because it doesn't happen when I
have one long clip instead of many repeating ones.

Ideas? Comments?

Turn the tick off on the controller bar?

I tried that. I also tried smashing every clock in the
house. Then I stayed up late watching old episodes of The
Tick. Then I was late for work the next day because I had
destroyed all the clocks.

Fucking Cubase.

and its not that you cut the sample at the wrong point,
which normally creates a tick?

it probably is.
if so:
fleetmouse, turn on the auto-fade function, maybe that'll
help.

Thanks, I'll give that a try... I thought there was silence
at the end of the loop but maybe there's enough data to fsck
things up.

I have tried everything and still clickity click. It's much
worse with multiple wav audio tracks. Well whatever the
motherfucking thing is doing, maybe it's related to the fact
that it's pirated. Yarrr.

I'm a just gonna use Cakewalk Sonar for now, cause the
latency is as good with it and no clicks. Yarrrr.

One thing I noticed is, when it's playing, Cakewalk reserves
100% of the CPU time for itself and then uses what it has to
of that. But 50% of the reserved CPU is "nice", meaning
other programs can run. I'm guessing it will reserve more
not-nice CPU if it has to... a pretty smart arrangement!

Unfortunately Cubase doesn't have that feature, so anything
else the computer does will contend with it for CPU time.
