[OSX] Microphone input sometimes not detected

[rhaamo]

ERROR: Device "Built-in Microph" does not work [TAudioInput_Portaudio.EnumDevices]

I've got this problem sometimes and I found a workaround. There is probably a better way to do that.

In file src/media/UAudioCore_Portaudio.pas line 318, if I put 1 to 20 to 1 to 30 I don't have the detection problem anymore.

I'm not sure what the problem is exactly but a longer detection/wait seems to do the job.

implemented the suggested bugfix with up to 400ms scanning time on os x

Hi, I am new here and NOT a programmer. Could anybody please help me how I access that file to change the detection? We use Ultrastar every Year for my wife's B'day, but I have been struggling this year to get it started. Only 7 days left to fix it. I have the same problems on several mac's, Mac OS X's and config.ini's. My neighbor has same problem, PLEASE HELP :-)

@Firestarter2809 this issue was already closed and is fixed in current code. For instructions on how to compile and run the game on OS X, see https://github.com/UltraStar-Deluxe/USDX#compiling-on-os-x

[basisbit]

there currently is no ready to use package of the game available, because none of the active developers know how to adapt the make script for these packages.

Thank you for the very quick feedback. So that means there is no current version with these changes to download? Might have to install it on a PC :-)

I could upload an app or dmg file, if you want.

Hi Markus,

a DMG would be awesome. Dropbox?

[bohning]

Try this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4021638/UltraStarDeluxe.dmg

@bohning what git commit is that dmg based off? I might want to copy it and put the file on the ultrastardx website for download, if others report that is works for them.

Checked out a few minutes ago (am on my mobile now and can't look it up).

Hi Markus,

you are great - THANKS A LOT!!! I have it working with following great improvements vs. the old version:

(Singstar) Microphones working now and visible under „record“ Programm can be (re)-started without any workarounds switch between programs and desktop with „standard“ CMD+TAB

For further development in the future one more critical thing I noticed while singing:

displayed notes seem to be buggy and no result shown

Following minor bugs: black menu text can not be clicked => which shortcut works for them to be used? E. g. to find a song? at selection video preview is not always displayed
