Hi,
Ive got a IMON VFD in my antec fusion case.

I now use the latest dll which is found here (https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...portal-1-1-3-1-2-1.95616/page-43#post-1061828)

When I use WASAPI in music section + IMON VFD I see an audio problem when using the VU meter in advanced tab. VU meter works, but somehow the audio is then 2x the speed or something. Disabling the VU meter results in normal audio, enabling the VU meter results in 2x audiospeed.

Can anyone confirm?

I do find it logical in some way I see this issue. WASAPI is intended to have the audio go to the receiver untouched by windows drivers.. volume settings etc.. just pure in = out. THe VU meter must somehow read the audiostream and could cause what I am hearing by doing so.. Just a theory.

@edterbak It seems you are using the older iMON MiniDisplay drivers. The newer version do not have VU meter options ATM.

 

[edterbak]

ok. Thanks for the confirmation. I didn't find that thread/report yet. thanks for the pointers Good to know I'm not crazy..
will look for the newer version (newer than 7 feb 2014) of the minidisplaydriver then

Hmm understand.. you will reactivate VU Meter then the fix for Wasapi are simple.

Add in Basswasapi Init call the flag BASS_WASAPI_BUFFER
Double speed should then be gone

then ceck if UseWasapi get Sample Data over

BASS_WASAPI_GetData(nil, BASS_DATA_AVAILABLE)

else

BASS_ChannelGetData(Stream, nil, BASS_DATA_AVAILABLE);

@BassFan Good to know! That could be helpful whenever I get there.
You may want to post that there too: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/index.php?threads/119331/
Though the issue appears to be fixed in 1.6 if we are to trust the latest post so maybe that flag you mentioned is being used properly in 1.6 already.

yes after remove VU-METER.. from Plugin to
Also Plugin can reactivate VU_METER with wasapi on this way
If the developer wants it.

@shorty1483 @HTPC_Sourcer
I created a JIRA issue to track that slow update problem: https://issues.team-mediaportal.com/browse/MP1-4403
It happens notably when the connection with the TV Server is lost.

Try that new experimental DLL and see if the REC icon is now working without crashes.
