samclane / LIFX-Control-Panel

As LIFX no longer supports their Windows 10 app, I created an open-source alternative for controlling LIFX-brand smart lights.

Stop Requesting ASIO Driver access #144

Open SnowSquire opened 1 year ago

SnowSquire commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug If you have any ASIO drivers installed on your system, LIFX control panel will open it up. This is incredibly annoying. I assume this is due to some audio library within the program

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Assuming you don't have an ASIO device you can install a pseudo driver from here https://www.asio4all.org/
  2. After rebooting you should launch LIFX control panel. It will then open up the ASIO Driver panel Expected behavior LIFX should not open an asio control panel

I did some digging and it looks like you guys are using pyaudio, which wraps portaudio. and ASIO support is a option at buildtime

I'm using the precompiled whl file that includes ASIO support: https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyaudio

I'm not sure if including support for ASIO is causing the control panel to appear, and I should be using the non-ASIO pip install. I haven't tested with the "dummy" ASIO driver yet.
