Audio issues after update

Post by mowgli »

After updating to 7.24.1 I'm having audio issues.
I'm able to select my audio interface in Audio Output Device (Novation Audiohub) and play sound through it, but I can no longer use the audio interface for FFT input. I'm unable to select it from Audio Input Device; it is there, but greyed out.
Clicking on ASIO settings causes an instant crash.
I've already sent the crash report.

It was all working fine before the update.

All this is working as it should in Ableton.

Does the OS privacy settings allow Resolume to access audio inputs?

I can't see any specific privacy settings for my audio interface.
Resolume already has access to the laptop's microphone, which is the only audio input device that I can see settings for.
I'm on Windows 10 if that helps.

It's all very strange.
Before, in Resolume, selecting an audio FFT input wasn't possible until an audio input device had been selected
Now, I can "select" an external audio fft input while Audio Input Device is greyed out.

Is the microphone/input set to the same sample rate as the output device?

I've checked everywhere I can think of. See the image. Maybe I'm missing somewhere? Windows is acomplete nigthtmare for navigating these things!

Everything as far as I can see, is set up as it should.
Ableton has no issues whatsoever.
The Novation Audiohub window on the Ableton interface, is what I think fails to open when I click on ASIO Settings from Resolume.

As I pointed out, everything was working before the Resolume update to 7.24.1, so I'm inclined to think the problem lies there but I could be wrong.

After much fiddling back and forth, audio is now coming in from the Novation Audiohub but...:

Audio Input Device in Resolume remains greyed out, despite Novation Audio Hub being listed there.

Before all this started, I could still select the microphone as audio input while the output was assigned to the Novation Audio Hub. I can no longer do that.

Clicking ASIO settings in Resolume Prefs creates a crash every time.

The signal coming in appears to be extremely low, I need to crank up the FFT Input Gain to get a meaningful signal coming in. This same signal peaks as it should at 0dB in Ableton.

Hm, with Asio, the input and output device can only be the same device, so that's why input device selection is greyed out. That's not new with 7.24.

Try the Windows audio drivers instead, that will allow you to select inputs and outputs from different sound cards.

The crash seems to come from the asio driver dlls. Do you have the latest ones?

Yes, I do have the latest ones.

To be honest, the entire way Windows handles audio and drivers is a nightmare. I've been battling with this for years. One minute it's all fine, the next it's several hours of troubleshooting and head-scratching.
At some point, I had to use ASIO4All as nothing else worked, suddenly that stopped working, and the Audiohub drivers were back in action.

Still, as I've said, currently I don't have any issues with the Novation Audiohub's drivers in any other application:
OBS
Ableton
DaVinci
Audacity

In any case, although not perfect, it's back to usable, I hope for good!
