Stereo Tool

If you can please record it - there's often much information that I can get from the audio. For example, I would have never been able to fix the clicks problem reported in the 7.72 thread earlier without analyzing the audio.

You're using *3* different sound cards (Asus Xonar, Realtek, VB Cable), which is possible, but you'll have to enable more synchronization. (I can imagine that this gets confusing).

In your settings, what I'm missing is the 'Synchronize to output' setting in the Normal Output settings. I'm not saying that it wil fix the problem, because I don't know what's happening, but without it you can get all kinds of weird effects so it might.

By the way, if synchronization is the problem it must be visible if you look at all the sound card buffers.

Input should be full (well there is no input buffer so it is by definition).
The two output buffers should both be filled half-way. If things go wrong, one of the two will be either nearly empty or completely full. Both would cause issues.

Well, you're right, I saw that label that input could be sync with just one of the outputs, might have misinterpreted it. I promptly enabled sync to output on Normal output and tried to get close to 1:1 using settings.

VB Cable seems unstable in regards to buffer size on my configuratio even when having buffer of 1 sec. I increased that to 3 secs since it feeds web radio and delays are acceptable there.

All buffers are in the middle now.

Ok, I hope that solves it.
