[?] [2727] [x64] AIMP: WASAPI Exclusive (Event) Play-Pause-Play sound error

[Artem]

Yes I red something on CSGO forum. Player try to reduce audio delay by reducing buffers to << 1ms and have mouse input pulling rates by 8000 per sec. They get sound errors due to those setting/ HW combination.

AIMP's internal buffer is 200 msec, so, you cannot decrease delay less than 200 msecs.

Is there some docu? Or how You can describe the method? Is it some kind of benchmark run or values read out from audio driver by AIMP?

If option is set: AIMP will use default buffer size (it will be takend from the device).
If option is unset: AIMP will calculate optimal buffer size by itself, usually the size equals to internal buffer size (200 msec), of course if the size in range of supported values of the device.

Yes, You pointed it. WASAPI Exclusive is it what I'm writing about all the time, and Yes there are some cuts the user of auto switch sample/bit- rate have/ready to accept.

I wanted to say that this mode is applicable only to a very narrow use case, which is not suitable for most of our users.

Thank You for explaining the "allow device to choose preferred buffer size" methods behind.

When i decide to upgrade to 6+ I will definitely check out this option and compare the values.

applicable only to a very narrow use case, which is not suitable for most of our users.

I'm agree with that. But looking forward to see someday

🟧
🟧 ✅ Allow auto switch sample and bit rate (most wanted, Device = Track)
🟧
🟧  If previous Track rates not eq. with next Track rates, need probably some resample, or API can handle this scenario too, i honestly don't know.

🔵
🔵 ✅ Allow buffer size change manually 10 ms ⫦-------⫰--------⫞ 500 ms     in supported by HW range
🔵
🔵 Wanted for debugging, values are provided by API. Once properly defined will probably not changed. But current auto-values are to high
🔵

🧊
🧊 ✅ Allow Bit exact output (QoL / nice to have,  Windows Audio Processing = actively suppressed/disabled by AIMP)
🧊
🧊 No audio effects by windows audio engine; no other post-processing, AIMP Volume fixed to 100%,  EQ and effects are bypassed.
