Hi Larry,

Which OS X version are you using?

This could either be a rights problem, or a new issue in PortAudio. Do you know if other USB sound cards work?
I just remembered that I have two macs with different os versions. I'll check back to see if there is any difference in behavior.
I did some testing. On Mac Big Sur 11.3 it works like this:

With ST 9.62: Webstation (usb) works, virtual sound cards do not. Additional test: Logitech webcam (usb) microphone also works.

With ST 9.70: Webstation (usb) does not work, virtual sound cards do. Additional test: Logitech webcam (usb) microphone also works.
On Catalina 10.15.7 I have not been able to do a test with the Webstation, it is at a different location. Other than that, the same behavior when it comes to the virtual sound cards.

Since 9.70 when sourcing audio from VAC via WASAPI sounds weird. KernelStreaming and MME is ok. With 9.64, WASAPI was fine. Any idea? Something I need to change perhaps in VAC?
Sinking audio to another VAC using WASAPI is fine.

How did you get it 9.62 to work on Big Sur in the first place? Since it wasn't signed.

Are you sure it was 9.64? 9.64 and 9.70 are identical (I released it at 9.64 first and the next day I replaced the binaries because 9.64 was the wrong version number). Or did you mean 9.63?

Can you describe what "weird" means? I haven't noticed anything strange with VAC. But the I/O library is updated in 9.64/9.70 (in fact, according to their change log, they fixed several bugs with WASAPI).

Oh yes, typo. Was the previous release.

I uploaded a sample:
https://nextcloud.hldigital.de/s/RQaD8BEkbjcXtSf
(URL expires in 3 weeks from now)

It's some weirdness with sample rates and the synchronize input to output plays havoc, ie. goes to "max" values. No change was made except the new ST version.

Wat i did, i use by VAC kernel streaming and set the sample freq. fixed to 192000 not the default 22050 .. 192000
And stream fmt limt choose not cable range.

It works fine now.

I have a similar setting, but have fixed sample rates to 44100 and stream fmt limit is set to Cable format.
Error is still present.

I don't know. It just worked. And still does. Maybe because I went to Big Sur after installing ST?
The question remains; how do we get it to work as it should?

Hi! Has anyone tried ST 9.70 with MediaMonkey 5? I have MediaMonkey 5.0.0.2338 and the Stereo Tool configuration window just briefly appears and then disappears, like crashes or something. Is this a problem with ST or with MediaMonkey? Can someone test if they can get the plugin to work with MediaMonkey 5?

I recognize that sound defect, LOL. I got that when I updated my ASIO4ALL to the 2_15_Beta versions. I had to revert back to ASIO4ALL_2_14 to get clean audio.
