Testing this recent release 009, I noticed while using DSP version (Sound Pro-Omni-FM setting) that if Encode RDS is turned off then the Pre-Emphasis goes off. Not really an issue for me, but seems it shouldn't do that. :lol:
If you hear it in the audio it might be the 'Pre-emphasize output'. You can output both the pre-emphasized or the de-emphasized signal. If you generate RDS as well, it doesn't make any sense to output the de-emphasized audio though, so in that case I disable the 'Pre-emphasize output' button and always play pre-emphasized sound.

The reason is that multiple stations didn't understand how this works and kept that button disabled. Which gave them an extremely dull sound. And made them think that Stereo Tool was just that bad.

CHANGES:
- Updated PortAudio to latest version

OLD CHANGES:
- Added FM/HD synchronziation slider. You will hear glitches when adjusting it, but no complete dropouts as with changing the buffer size.
- Changed PortAudio callback block size to let PortAudio decide the best size. This might slightly reduce latency and also help against hiccups.
- Added display of supported sample rates (and MME) to sound card selection.
- SST help
- Delossifier Spectral hole filler CPU load is much higher in 8.23 than in 8.00 - no obvious change in the code. - Wasn't true, slightly optimized it anyway.
- Removed old WINMM audio card code, replaced by PortAudio.

TODO:
- Synchronize PortAudio starts
- Make sure that in case of no input audio, the error is reported for the input. Added the watchdog tick to be always called when the callback is called, even if no audio is being played.
- Make buffer filling 50% on start - Wait for first input to return. Only then allow outputs. Also needed for VLC (so the delay can be big!) In fact, the best way might be to connect it to when the first callback of the input sound card happens... enable the other callbacks INSIDE that input callback. But if I do that I need special solutions for VLC and ASIO. And that won't take the calculation time into account, and it might actually be a good thing to take that into account to make the buffer at least not too empty.
- GiPHouse build warnings
- Make PortAudio work on Mac (output works, input not yet)
- Make PortAudio work properly on Linux - it works but with weird warnings and it takes a long time to start.
- Send out RDS texts
- Fix 31N
- Show low input level warning for inputs below - say - around -9 dB or so. For extended periods. Reason; I hear on a local station here that they probably have a too low input level and they didn;'t know that that was a problemn, but the sound on one of the built-in presets wasn't as consistent as it should be, and some tracks sound muffled probably due to too much noise gating.

64 bit Beta 9 and 10 of ST 25 DO NOT work with Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit system. :shock:
It installs then won't start.
32 bit versions of the same builds however does work. :?

Uh... I didn't post 64 bit binaries! The 64 bit builds are failing (I'm looking into that now).
Edit: Build is fixed. I'll try to built it during our lunch break!

You mean the audio? Or something else?

I'm not sure if this is a problem in PortAudio, I'm also seeing problems on the Mac OS X build now, we'll look into that on Monday.

Want 32kHz? then you need to set that in windows too.
