Music plays very slowly...

clio09:
I just got around to playing with my trial version of MC 18 for Mac. I had previously been using Audirvana and like it quite a bit, but really want to get away from the integrated iTunes mode (I dislike Audirvana's stand alone UI). So I was really looking forward to working with MC. I think I have configured everything correctly and my library is loaded, but when I play a track the music sounds like it is playing at half speed or even slower. Can someone advise me what may be wrong? I have gone over the configuration many times and can't seem to get the tracks to play at the correct speed. Thanks in advance.

JimH:
Please report any changes you've made from default settings.   Also the file type you are playing.   Try some other types.

Starting with playback options the output is Core Audio, no difference selecting Null. The output settings shows the Audiophilleo device, then the buffer size has the default Hardware setting, no difference using the other settings. Open device with exclusive access is checked.

DSP and output format, just checked the output box, then selected 2 channel stereo, and no up mixing and down mixing. Other settings are play silence at startup = 2 seconds, checked box to playback from memory, makes no difference playing back from disc, and checked box to disable display from turning off.

Track changes settings are standard gapped = .5s. Checked boxes for do not play silence and use gapless. For other settings disabled volume and checked the box for volume protection.

For encoding selected AIFF. I only play AIFF files so no other file formats to try. I do not believe I configured anything else. Hope this helps.

JohnT:
So the Audiophilleo device is connected via USB, correct?  Slow playback often indicates a sample rate mismatch somewhere, does the Audiophilleo device show the current sample rate during playback?  In Media Center, you can view the Audio Path to see what sample rate we are actually outputting.

clio09:
Yes the Audiophilleo does show the sample rate during playback. In MC I have made no changes to the sample rates under DSP options. Whatever the native file sample rate is that is what I play it back as. I will test out a couple tracks and report back. Thanks
