So for gdb, you don't always need Linux for that, msys2 has native gdb which you can use.

Also I'll see about checking that out. But it should pick system default audio...

RyabDev commented 6 years ago

Yeah well with my computer I dont have any speakers set up so my only audio output is headphones and say if they are not plugged in that is when it crashes

ghost commented 6 years ago

thats kinda weird that a speaker or headphones has to be plug so the sound hardware would work... in most cases, it should still work since audio hardware device is still there regardless if headphones or speakers are plugged in...

Squall-Leonhart commented 1 month ago

This would occur because the audio core sync is based on device buffers, not internal ones. But it shouldn't be crashing or freezing in current master, so closing.
