Title: WASAPI and Video
Post by: Blaine78 on June 27, 2011, 09:17:49 am

Hi,
seem to be having issues with WASAPI event style and watching DVD's. I use 250ms buffer in WASAPI as it seems to work best for me, listening to music is excellent and no problems, but watching DVD's i get occasional audio drops outs. when i change to direct sound, no problems.

Please try using 100ms or less for buffering, and let us know if you still get dropouts.  Higher latency settings can cause problems for video playback.

Thanks.

yes 100ms works. with the risk of sounding crazy, i find the sound quality to suffer just slightly. higher buffers sound cleaner to me. ultimately, is there something i can do, to make 250ms work well with video as it does with audio files?
I know this request is not a problem or a bug fix, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
