Routing Pending, never actually routes the audio #3

Open Colt15 opened 8 years ago

Colt15 commented 8 years ago

Hi there all, my issue is that all programs say Routing Pending whenever I try to move them. It never actually does anything, but the app never hangs or crashes. I'm running it as an admin on Windows 10, but I may downgrade to 8.1 in the near future. If anyone else has run into this issue or got a possible fix, please let me know!

I had this same problem! Its just been sitting on routing for about an hour.

EDIT: after trying this with a bunch of different programs, I found that some do work while others just stick on "pending"

emckenna commented 8 years ago

yeah.. seeing this as well.. chrome for example, it pends until im playing sound, also might need to restart audio engine on Voicemeeter. But for the nightbot beta app, it just crashes the app after choosing the route.

Oh and thank you for saving us all from CheVolume.

I tried this out yesterday, and I had similar issues. Windows 10.

I tried playing music in Google Music in chrome, and moving it; chrome knew something was up, stopped playing music, and the time bar stopped moving, but the audio router stayed on "routing pending" and nothing happened. I had to reload the tab to get music back again - but only through the default audio device.

Have you tried closing and opening the tab instead? Chrome might not initialize the new audio stream when refreshing the page, but instead uses the old one which still outputs to the default audio device.

Yeah, I'm having the same problem. As natehelmick mentioned, it seems to only affect certain programs. For me, some just stop producing sound, some just do not change at all and I even had some programs crash.

Programs where I notice this regularly: Discord - Seems to route fine, but no sound at all is actually being sent Dark Souls - Route pending followed by no sound or just an outright crash Chrome - Route pending until a new tab with sound is opened Heroes Of The Storm - Sometimes it breaks, sometimes it works great. Also had some occasions where I routed it and then Discord (above) wouldn't produce any sound. Winamp - Works great most of the time, but had it crash as well once or twice

I haven't found any consistencies which programs work and which do not.

This is still a great tool, so much better than bloody CheVolume. And with some workarounds even these glitches are manageable. So, thank you!

If you go to properties and click run as administrator and change the compatibility to be for windows 7 its works. had the same issue as you all and that fixed the issue for me. (Windows 10 - x64)

Was working well with Kodi until a day or so ago, now stuck in the "Route pending" loop. Tried the compatibility fix from majorchuckles, no love there. Running as admin, worked fine before, is there a way to purge or refresh the app?

Edit/Update: After a few days of not working, uninstalled some other misc junk, restarted a few times and Audio Router was able to regain control of application audio. During troubleshooting, lost all audio for certain apps (spotify, Kodi) after Router tried to re-route. A "hard reset" of some type seems to be needed, but I suspect it may lie outside of Audio Router's control, some conflict with Sound Manager or something. Maybe someone has a more in depth instruction set for pre- or resetting audio managers to keep Audio Router flowing smoothly?

I found this page just today, so you guys may have already found a fix, idk. But for chrome at least, simply refresh the page and it will start playing from the new source.

sebgonz commented 8 years ago

Just found this thread. I found that if I click "Soft Routing" when I choose a different route, I don't have to refresh anything. I just tested it in Chrome, with Google Play on Win 10 (64 bit). Hopefully that works for some of you.

Thanks dev, for making an awesome program.

Balconyrider commented 8 years ago

I ran into "Routing Pending" with my script that plays wav files on hotkeys. Script process is crashing if I'm trying to use it while routing pending. It was working before I did my user Temp folder cleanup (Windows 10, with updates killed). I found your program amazing as well and definitely going to donate.

falconisimator commented 7 years ago

I have tried routing Spotify and Steam in Windows 10 but my full system audio cuts out while the routing pends without resolution. I have not yet tried setting up the routing with all other applications closed.

@audiorouterdev This above ^^ sentence definately needs to be included in the README.md front page documentation. Or make a seperate 'FAQ' troubleshooting page. Whatever. Its essential to know this. Nobody is gonna think to naturally try that out. Lots of people on win10 now.

Thanks @majorchuckles!

Derakwolf commented 6 years ago

so that didnt work for me what should i do

MarcT commented 6 years ago

I can get discord to work by entering a chat channel. If you are in one already, you need to leave and come back.

MaxCorpIndustries commented 6 years ago

you know just in case everyone is out of ideas, I found a workaround for chevolume's license. As audiorouter has given me no results so far I thought I might as well share my solution. For windows 10 btw, might work for older as well.

  1. Open chevolume, jot down the date the license ran out, like write it down somewhere or remember it.

  2. Close Chevolume (task manager it just in case)

  3. Go to the windows settings and go to TIME AND LANGUAGE

  4. Disable 'SET TIME AUTOMATICALLY'

  5. Disconnect from the internet (this forces Chevolume to check the system time instead of an online server)

  6. Change the time and date to a couple days before the expiration date (which you found in step 1)

  7. Open chevolume (remember that the you must not be connected to the internet) It should work at this point but tell me otherwise if it doesn't.

  8. Once it opens, re connect to the internet

  9. enable 'SET TIME AUTOMATICALLY' to quickly restore your time to normal.

It worked for me and until audiorouter get's fixed it's what I'm going to do.

That or wait for the new windows April update which actually allows this functionality right out of the box. It's going to be sweet.

I am having this same issue on Windows 7 x64, neither solution worked...

EvilCat108 commented 2 years ago

Windows have a native solution for this. you can find it by URI: ms-settings:apps-volume
