No sound under Windows 10 (and ASIO?)

[freq-mod]

One of BT Discord server users reported problems with not being able to hear anything when using this tool.

their audio device list in audio configuration menu: reportedly none of these three options above work

I have Windows 10 and do get sound using both of my options: "Default device" and "Realtek ASIO".

Dumb question, but do they have an instrument set up? The default new instrument settings produce no sound. At bare minimum: Carrier 1: Attack > 0 and Level > 0. (Sustain > 0 so the note will end)

supposedly yes, they tried to load a bank. I also don't have problem with realtek ASIO :man_shrugging:

I'm having the same issue on Windows 8.1 after updating from version 1.3 of the editor.

Specifically, the only options available for me are:

• Default device (no audio, I'm guessing the "default" is just ASIO4ALL?)
• ASIO4ALL, which complains about not being able to open the regular system audio device
• Realtek ASIO, which immediately crashes the editor somehow

Is there simply no option to use a non-ASIO audio device anymore?

The last thing I had to update is the RT-Audio library and seems like it's the problem of this library I guess... The library itself is here: https://github.com/thestk/rtaudio

I had to downgrade the RtAudio library, Please try again. :fox_face: :+1:

[Wohlstand]

I guess, the RtAudio library got messed up, so, I downgraded it into the state from 2018.

[freq-mod]

Allegedly, it still doesn't work...

Is it possible to add support for DirectSound/WASAPI?

[Wohlstand]

The RtAudio library has already DirectSound and WASAPI on aboard, I may guess, the library gets first who got initialized first? 🤔

[Wohlstand]

@jpcima, do you think is a good idea to add an option to add the switching between audio APIs when available? I mean:

• on Windows
  • ASIO (where it works)
  • WASAPI
  • DirectSound
  • WinMM
• on Linux and xBSD
  • PulseAudio
  • ALSA
• on macOS
  • CoreAudio (I guess, on macOS is not necessary as CoreAudio is a one way here)

[freq-mod]

i'm not @jpcima but that's an only sane way to fix these windows problems. For example, BambooTracker and ZorroTracker have these options, and I don't recall having any unsolvable problems with sound :man_shrugging:

[jpcima]

It's addressed in the PR #182

Changing the audio device solved the problem, thanks!
