Title: WASAPI
Post by: Tiger100 on May 31, 2011, 11:08:53 pm

I am having a strange issue with WASAPI.  After starting my computer and then starting jriver, the first time I play a song I get a hissing sound.  No music - only hissing!  After closing JRiver and starting it again, that same song plays fine.  I am not sure what is causing this.  The only sound device on my computer is the Realtek HDMI Output.  This device is configured for 5.1 sound.  I am using Windows 7 Ultimate - 64bit.

Any suggestions?

Are you using the Realtek HDMI Output with an ATI graphics card?  I've always had problems making the Realtek driver work with my ATI card.  I just use the ATI drivers instead - works everytime.

Works better now.  No problems playing music right after PC start up.  Another problem that I am having is pausing music using WASAPI.  For some reason the music skips (and continues to skip) when I hit pause. 

Any suggestions?

Forget that last question.  I checked the options for output mode settings and noticed a setting to flush device buffers on pause.  This solved the problem.
