MP2 - V2.1 [MP2-563] WASAPI not working for sample rates > 48 kHz (1 Viewer)

[morpheus_xx]

Broken WASAPI exclusive mode for sampling rates > 48Khz

I tried to reproduce this issue but could not yet. In mean time I have bought a new AVR which supports higher rates, so in principle I should be able to reproduce.

Here is what I tested (was it a sample file from you?):

My current findings (remember: new hardware and not looked into this since long time):

• WASAPI exclusive mode was not sucessfully enabled for 88.2 kHz.
• Windows sound test does not output sample sound when using 88.2 kHz as well, so I guess this rate is not supported by my AVR
• 2nd try is then the shared mode using the mixer. Here the default rate and the channel configuration of Windows is used. As I also changed my HTPC mainboard, I didn't change those settings again (where default 48kHz/2ch).

Can you provide me clear steps how I can reproduce the downsampling issue? Best would also be to provide a matching testfile, from hardware side I should be able to test now.

The AVR lists following modes as supported (88.2 not working though):

I will take a look at this tomorrow afternoon.

Hi, have tried to test some files. Unfortunately playback of audiofiles completely fails (WASAPI & DS). i've noticed this error in logfile:

Did you select proper devices inside configuration before?
Can you post more details on used files (format, bitrate etc)

 

[Helios61]

Did you select proper devices inside configuration before?

Yes, have tried DS, WASAPI shared and WASAPI exclusive.

Can you post more details on used files (format, bitrate etc)

A simple CD rip, 16 bit / 44.1 kHz.

Hi,

I looked at it and didn't have problems to play my own files here. Could you provide a test sample so that we all deal with the very same test data when testing?

One question about your own setup: if the rip is 44.1 kHz, i.e. CD standard, Wasapi would not convert this into a higher sample rate for replay on your AVR - unless you have forced Windows to always use a higher rate. I've read somewhere that Wasapi was having some issues in such situations although this may be outdated.

 

[Helios61]

Did you select proper devices inside configuration before?

I do, but i think the question goes into the right direction. I've noticed this issue first after switching on my TV (HDMI Connection to AVR). At this moment sounddevice changed in Windows from AVR to TV (with the same sound specifications, sample rate, bit depht, channel layout).
For testing i will find time tomorrow.

One question about your own setup: if the rip is 44.1 kHz, i.e. CD standard, Wasapi would not convert this into a higher sample rate for replay on your AVR - unless you have forced Windows to always use a higher rate.

Yes, thats right. WASAPI exclusive should output the stream "bitperfect" without Windows Mixxer.

The test above was a simple CD rip. Another testsamples i've uploadet already to our ftp server and you will find a lot of great testfiles at http://www.2l.no/hires/index.html.

 

[HTPCSourcer]

Nice site. Something to add to the WIki.

Alright, I cannot confirm your issues either here. Wasapi exclusive (however in combination with simple 2 loudspeakers only):

CD 16bit / 44 kHz: OK
Stereo 24 bit / 96 kHz: OK

I did not go further since 96 kHz plays ok. So I would rather assume your problems to be linked to your system setup.

 

[HTPCSourcer]

Obviously my own test system is not doing complete bitstream as it only has to loudspeakers attached to it. This is how my player settings look like though:

 

[Helios61]

So I would rather assume your problems to be linked to your system setup.

No, i do not think so, because playback is working fine in Musicbee (the same BASS Engine as in MP2) and Foobar2000.
