Stereo Tool

O wow. After doing a "RESET ALL" now synchronizing doesn't work here either. It did before! Well now that I can reproduce it I can try to find out what's wrong.

. It doesn't do that here, I'll try a debug build again.
I saw something like that. I thought it responded again after the browser was loaded (but it might have been after I closed it) - will test. I'm probably doing something with \ which needs to be / on Linux. That should not be needed. If VLC supports Jack then when VLC is running you should see the extra inputs and be able to select them. I might need to do something though to connect to them as soon as you start VLC, if you selected them previousy.

Maybe it's just something wrong on my system - we need more linux beta-testers
Unfortunately no.


I don't get vlc-input-3561:vlc_in_1 and vlc-input-3561:vlc_in_2, although vlc is running and connected to JACK before starting ST.

This is scary. In Linux, I *am* getting crashes now but not in my own code - but in the file open window. And not always. Also, whenever I do manage to load a preset, the program hangs. Loaded file name IS displayed correctly in the presets selection though.

I think I should probably try an X11 build (instead of GTK2) again, see if that fixes anything.

I'll first try a build in my new image again (so the one with GTK2 instead of 1.2). Edit: That didn't help. Will try an X11 build now. Edit: I cannot load anything because there's a font issue, but no crashes so far...


Yes, the X11 version appears to be far more stable. Something does indeed go wrong during startup sometimes, I don't know yet why. (I can see *where* it goes wrong but it doesn't make any sense).

I've asked a question on a forum. In the mean time, I think I found the cause of the crash on startup (audio is started too soon, it needs to wait for other things to have been started first - and timing is probably different during a restart causing it to fail then.)

Ok, some good progress today. A lot of issues in the Linux version are fixed (bold). And in fact even in the Windows version (although these issues never caused any problems in Windows).

Linux stand alone: http://www.stereotool.com/download/ster ... ETA724-027
I will post the Windows versions tonight.

DONE:
- RadioFreak: Hiccups - were not caused by Stereo Tool
- Linux: Clicks with Jack (First thing to check: Other latency settings.) Seems to only affect FM output. First test: Replace input by sine wave. And wav2.wav.
- Linux: Jack maximum buffer size smaller OR allocate more buffer space -> Make static!
- Linux: Quit in Linux (hang on close)
- RadioFreak: Crash after restart, gone after deleting .rc file.
- Linux: Jack latency settings (buffer size) don't seem to work in all cases. -> Normal and Low Latency were swapped
- Linux: Probably remove priority parameters in Linux
- Linux: Priority setting in Linux
- Linux: Jack sample rate used
- Linux: Entering registration key in Linux
- Linux: Unresponsive GUI with dropdown menu's open or big window - wxST_PAINT_EVENT is wrong! And may also have caused the X11 issues
- Linux: Jack Buffer empties on start, this stops after a few seconds. Restarting the sound in Stereo Tool makes the buffers half full (as intended) again.
- Linux: RadioFreak: when you save your actual setting to a preset (export) and then open this preset again (import), ST crashes sometimes. Several crashes (startup (not yet reproduced), file loading (inside glibc code!)) - something is wrong somewhere but this one may be very hard to find. Not yet reproduced crash at startup cannot be related to the file open window! This might be the best shot at solving it.
- Linux: Audio stops after loading a preset.
- Linux: Software Jack inputs/outputs now also visible.
- Windows: Synchronize doesn't work in Windows
- Linux: Jack no sound (AlexL)

HALF-WAY:
- Windows: Channel swapping in Windows So far unable to reproduce.

TODO:
- All: Low latency sound sometimes bad (VERY bad)
- Linux: Not all Jack inputs/outputs visible (Ha! I'm looking for physical outputs, should be all!)
- Linux: Apparently outputs are mixed (see description from Radiofreak).
- Bojcha: If possible to add on list fix for MB compressors meters (and might possible audio) interact wrongly with Burst compressors AND limiters.

@AlexL: If you still don't have audio, could you try removing the .rc file?

I did not need to delete the config, works now, nice!

Crashes on startup are gone now!

And, I can see the extra-JACK-ports on the dropdown-list, but I only get audio out of one mode at the same time (either FM or Normal). When both FM and Normal Out are activated, only Normal Out works. Low Latency Out works, too, but puts out an MPX-signal when FM is activated, and a normal signal when Normal Out is activated.

Yeeeeee

Looks like a Linux release on the way soon!! 2 flavors of ST...
