FamiTracker
Okay, so every time I open FamiTracker, down at the bottom on the Status Bar, it says:
"Audio buffer underrun, sound settings may be too high for this system or CPU utilization is too high."
And every time I play or enter notes, there is a short skip/click type of thing every second or so, at regular intervals regardless of when I press play or enter the note. This also somehow causes the play speed to slow down a bit, and the channels to go slightly off sync whenever it happens.
Obviously the first thing I tried was messing with the sound settings. Strangely, no matter what I change, it fixes the error (I've tried changing the Device setting and and the Frequency setting). Even more odd, though, is that the error is still fixed even if I change all the settings back to default. Why would FamiTracker not work with the default settings, but then start working with the default settings after just fidgeting with them a bit?
Yes, technically I can fix it on my own, but it's still rather annoying. This happens every time I open FamiTracker, often it takes a while before the fix works, sometimes I have to change a setting and then enter notes, or sometimes I have to change a setting and press play for a while. Sometimes it unfixes itself after I change the settings back. It's all pretty unpredictable.
Anyhow, this only started happening after I switched from XP to 7. It happens in 0.3.0 and 0.3.5. I've tried redownloading and reinstalling several times.
Not sure what to do. Can anyone offer some help?
I had to do this when I installed windows 7, somewhere around 45ms is necessary while 20ms was enough in XP. The sample rate should be the same as your card is using to avoid resampling.
[quote=jsr]Have you tried increasing the buffer size?

20 MS is enough for XP? I have it set to the premium recommended for my sound card, 154MS and I get audio buffer underrun all the time! Though, my computer is a bit slow for 16-bit waveforms in a sound program......
