Suddenly not working on Output after years and no changes #15

Open jduust opened 5 years ago

jduust commented 5 years ago

Hi,

So i think it was 3 days ago it stopped working suddenly for no apparent reason. No rainmeter update, no skin update, no windows update just stopped working on output, i can still get it to display when using input (microphone), but it doesn't respond to output at all. I've checked and performed the troubleshooting to no avail. Any tips/anyone experiencing similar issuses? Thanks in advance.

There's no changes to my audio device, i've tried the example audio skin, and this is my audio device: Windows Default Output Device:

Device Name: Speakers (Bose USB Audio) Device ID: {bb4d3add-57b2-4272-855f-ba0f52bf0550} Device Format: 48000Hz PCM 32b 6ch Device Status: 1

Device List:

Windows 10 64-bit, usb audio device Rainmeter 4.2.0 r3111 64-bit (jul 8 2018) No error logs Version 3.8.2 (2 nov 2018) - Just updated to see if it fixed my issue, which it didn't had a 2-year old version before i think. Settings: (I tried tweaking these trying to fix the issues, so if there's something wrong in the settings it might not be the real issue, but please let me know) image

As mentioned it works when i switch to Input (meaning microphone), but i don't want to see my breath, i want to see my music.

Update: Downgrading my Realtek HD Audio Drivers seems to make it work with the realtek output, but still doesn't work with the USB speakers despite working fine without issues earlier on. Seems to be an issue with drivers, perhaps recent windows update?

Turns out, reverting to 3.7.19 April 2018 fixed the issue. Weird.

If there was no skin/Rainmeter/driver update, then I cannot further dissect the issue

However the audio plugin code will inevitably need cleaning up, and when complete should better help with future debugging
