Hi, try running the app from a PowerShell. You can do it by opening the PowerShell and drag&drop the executable into it and then pressing enter. You will see the app running, but the PowerShell fill with a text. Do whatever you do to make it crash and then grab that text (from the PowerShell) and paste it here or in a gist. This will be useful to know what is going on under the hood.

It seems that with your current audio setup, the app cannot capture your internal audio (Unsupported audio format) and that's kind weird because the default configuration is basic enough that every computer should work out of the box (sample rate of 44100Hz and bit depth of 16bit).

Check if you can change the configuration of the internal audio device (look for it in the speaker icon in the task bar, at the left) to match these settings. It should be called "CD Quality" probably. But is a guess, it is a long time since I last used Windows...

Meanwhile, I will try to change the error message for one more clearer.

I'm getting same error tried to change the input frequency and other stuff still same sharing what option i have screenshot 4

melchor629 commented 5 years ago

I'm impressed with that, wow. I'm loosing all my ideas I have in this issue. I'm sorry to not be able to help you further more :(

I uploaded a new version that now shows an error instead of closing the app. Maybe it helps a bit. Try it and tell me what error you are getting or if it is still crashing.

One thing to note is that I use the same library as Audacity. So, if it goes well there, should go in my app. (If you don't know what app I'm talking about, is an open source multi-platform app for editing audio).

Thanks for the reply, this time it is not giving an error for closing but unfortunately it's working. I tried to run using powershell not sure what it says. I know about Audacity app i used that in the past but Downloaded again today as you said but not sure what to do with that as Chromecaster app is unable to cast any sort of music to my google home. looks like i have to forget about casting and need to think for some other stuff he he. appreciate your time and efforts screenshot 5

About the Audacity, the issue has to do with the capturing audio from your computer (you can see the error in the latests lines of the PowerShell). This code is almost the same as Audacity, so if in Audacity works but not in my app, it will tell us that the issue is indeed in my code.

Well, you can always try to cast in other formats different from MP3 128 (like FLAC HD or WAV HD) or try any other app to cast (VLC can now cast to Chromecasts for example).

Anyway, it seems to be an issue with my code, but as I cannot reproduce that, I'm not be able to fix it. I'm so sorry :(

Thanks for posting the issue and helping to solve it :)
