Analyze Audio causes a playback problem
« on: August 26, 2012, 09:26:13 am »

Playing music while working on files I am finding that Analyze Audio causes the playback to 'break-up' with drop-outs, stuttering, etc.

Oddly enough this does not occur during any other operations i.e.: importing, tagging, cover art look-up, and processor intensive operations including file conversion.

I can convert 4 files at once with no playback issues, use of other programs during playback also has no negative effects on playback. I can run the program Audio Tester on music files using all four cores with no playback degradation.

This playback issue only occurs during analysis using MC's Analyze Audio function.
This happens regardless of whether I set Analyze Audio to use 2 cores or all 4 cores.

Any suggestions?

I have this when using Direct out or Wave out, so if I need to analyze audio while making a play list or other work with MC I switch the output to WASAPI and it is fine then. Hope this helps.

Thanks Tangodude, that did the trick!

I normally use WASAPI but somehow it had gotten changed to Direct Sound . . . maybe from a library restore or something.
