Is there any way to fix this? The wiki only has an unhelpful "Try to update sound card drivers.". Is this a known issue (assuming so based on the wiki)?

increase buffer length, make sure the device being used is actually the correct one, make sure that when you double click the "volume" button on the taskbar that FT isn't muted

It is not a known issue. What kind of error do you get, no sound or an error message?

Open sound configuration and checkt that the primary device is selected.

Yes, sorry for being unclear, I guess the stupids got to me.
The problem I'm having is stuttering and slow audio.

[quote]increase buffer length[/quote]

Increased it to 160ms, seems to work now. Thanks!

I noticed that at some values, the play button doesn't work. : S
For example, 128 and 129ms makes "play" do nothing for me. Odd.

Huh. The wiki made it sound like famitracker had problems under win7, with it being under the FAQ and all.


Edit: Hmm... quote didn't work. :(

The issue mentioned in the wiki was a common issue for all the legacy (developed for 9x/XP) sound programs under Win7. Sometimes you just can't get stable sound no matter how large the buffer is. Updating sound drivers can help in this case. Maybe it was fixed in the system since.

Ok it seems it was known then.

Same thing happens for me too. I haven't seen this earlier, odd indeed.

That problem isn't there in XP or WINE...... must be 7-only.

It looks like Win7 High Definition audio driver doesn't work well with Famitracker. I had the same problem, installed the audio driver that came with the motherboard, and everything's all right now.

I'm using windows 7 and I have sort of a strange range of working buffers. 1-20 milliseconds won't work at all. 21-100 work perfectly with no cuts in audio. 101-132 also do not work at all. And as far as I know, 133 and everything above work fine.

1-20 milliseconds might not work because that's tiny.

EDIT: I've tried 20-100 on my computer, which is capable of being a small server(which I actually use it as), and 71-73 didn't work. And this was back when I had literally just finished setting up all of my mandatory software and didn't run a server on here yet. Plus below 71 had very high rate of audio buffer overloads. And then 123 is what I have it at now.
