Using v26.0.87  (Windows x64) and restored a saved Library.

1) DSP Studio/Equalizer...When loading saved settings, the Equalizer/slide settings do not change, but the saved settings appear to be executing as there is a clear change to the sound.  The slide controls visually remain in the position they were in before loading a different setting and the numeric db settings also remain visually unchanged.

2) Tracks with a sample rate of 352.8 crash Media Center.  I tested this with the Output Format set at 352,800 = unchanged, and set to 352,800 = 192,000. MC crashes with either setting.  Tested multiple tracks from multiple albums at this sample rate, all with the same result.  Tracks play fine on VLC and Audirvana.  Converting to 192,000, tracks play fine.  Almost all of the tracks I have at 352.8 are FLAC.  I have 2 albums at DSD64.  One plays, the other doesn't.  I have one album at DSD128, plays fine.

Regards,

Larry

The DSP Studio Load Button bug has been known for quite a while.  JRiver has not fixed it yet.  It has been mentioned in every new release thread, and is currently mentioned in the .90 thread.  You could add your voice there, if you'd like it fixed.

Thanks for the report.

I found two issues I'm working on fixing:
Fixed: Loading DSP presets would have the current equalizer settings overwrite the new preset settings.
Fixed: The on / off state of plugins would not refresh right away when loading a DSP preset.

If there's anything else acting up, please let us know.

Thank again.

Matt:  Thanks so much.

Has anyone recreated the sample rate issue I am having?  For me it is 100% consistent.  MC does not like tracks at 352.8, and refuses to stay running in Win 10 if I try to play one.  Possible I have a errant setting, but I can't find it.

Thanks

Nope.  I can play 352.8 in stereo or in multichannel.

Any ideas what’s going wrong in my environment?  Here’s what I’ve checked/verified.  Have many tracks at this bit rate.  They all react the same.  They crash MC, yet play in VLC. 

Output format change in MC to lower the bit rate does not help.  Amp/DAC clearly documents it’s support.  Their support People suggest trying another player, which I did with success. 

I think it’s clear MC supports this bit rate, but a setting somewhere that does not seem to affect other players does crash MC.  In my troubleshooting efforts, I have found buried in Win 10 properties, a bit rate setting for the DAC driver that defaults to 44.1, but allows up to this bit rate.  I changed it, which did clean up noise on 192K files, but not these.

I know there is a work around of converting these files down to 192K, or 44.1 (which one could argue should be done on principle), but it would be nice to know what’s causing this, and If its the player (I know that is a “if”), hardening it to avoid a crash.

Hope someone knows, but I’ll go the workaround route if not.

Thanks

Larry
