How to Enable Third-Party Cookies for WebView2:

1. Modify Windows Security Settings:

WebView2 relies on system security settings. To ensure third-party cookies are not blocked:

1. Adjust App & Browser Control:
   • Press Windows key + I to open Settings.
   • Go to Update & Security, then select Windows Security from the menu on the left.
   • Click App & browser control.
   • Under Reputation-based protection settings, review options like SmartScreen or Exploit Protection. Disable these temporarily if needed, as they might interfere with third-party cookies.

2. Set Group Policies for WebView2 (For Windows Pro/Enterprise/Education Users):

If you are using a version of Windows that supports Group Policies, you can configure WebView2 policies directly.

1. Open the Group Policy Editor:
   • Press Windows key + R, type gpedit.msc, and press Enter.
2. Navigate to the Edge Policies:
   • Go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Microsoft Edge.
3. Disable Third-Party Cookie Blocking:
   • Locate the policy named Block third-party cookies and set it to Disabled.
   • If this policy does not exist, you can manually create it or adjust registry settings (see below).

3. Registry Edit for Third-Party Cookies in WebView2:

If Group Policy Editor is not available (e.g., in Windows Home), you can directly edit the Windows Registry to allow third-party cookies in WebView2.

1. Open the Registry Editor:
   • Press Windows key + R, type regedit, and press Enter.
2. Navigate to the Edge Key:
   • Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge
3. Create or Modify the BlockThirdPartyCookies Value:
   • If the key BlockThirdPartyCookies does not exist, right-click in the right pane, select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value, and name it BlockThirdPartyCookies.
   • Set the value to 0 (zero) to allow third-party cookies.
4. Close the Registry Editor and restart your computer to apply the changes.

1. Copy your referral link from the Welcome Screen or the ‘Refer a Friend’ menu in the MugentPlayer Plugin, or from the ‘Refer a Friend’ tab in your user account.
2. Share it with friends.
3. If they create a Mugent account using your link, you will be credited €10 that you can spend on orders.
4. You can view the amount you have earned on the Welcome Screen, and the details in your user account.
5. If you want to use the credit for a purchase, enter the coupon code indicated in your user account and click ‘Apply Coupon’ in the cart.
6. The amount will be subtracted from your total.

The installation folder for the ontent/samples of the mugentPlayer cannot be changed during installation.

It can be changed after the installation within the player e.g. to save storage space on the C drive. You can set the path to this folder under Settings in the player’s menu. Any previously downloaded samples, if available, will be automatically moved to the new folder.

Interfering noises (cracking, crackling, hissing) can have the following causes:

1. Buffer size too low:
Check the settings in your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) and increase the buffer size if possible.
A buffer size that is too small can lead to audio dropouts and noise if your computer’s CPU cannot keep up with the workload.

2. Use fixed buffer size in FL Studio:
FL Studio may experience noise if Use Fixed Size Buffer is not enabled.
Here is a short tutorial video showing how to enable this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RlElAJAkGs

3. Avoid overloading the master output:
Make sure you don’t have clipping on the master output in your DAW.
Work with enough headroom internally, and use a limiter at the end of your master chain to prevent clipping when exporting.

4. Problem with your sound card:
Check your sound card, cables, and connections. Defective or faulty cables can cause noise.
Make sure everything is connected correctly and in good condition. If necessary, you could also update the drivers for your sound card.

5. Balanced and unbalanced cables:
Balanced cables, such as XLR cables, are less susceptible to electromagnetic interference and can reduce noise.
If you use unbalanced cables such as jack or RCA, make sure they are properly routed and shielded to minimize electromagnetic interference.

Here’s more about the differences between balanced and unbalanced cables (German only):
