FamiTracker
Hi there, searched for this a bit but can't seem to find the answer. I'm using an external soundcard (Steinberg MR816x, via firewire), and famitracker seems to load all good on the computer, I can see meters moving-- but no sound. Volume is at 100%, my sound card is selected in the menu, tried a few different ways-- all other sound from my windows system, media player, my DAW-- are working, but no sound from Famitracker.
Any direction or what I should try to get this working? Is my soundcard supported? Thanks for your help--
Thanks for the reply-- I did do that actually. I had all other audio playback devices disabled (that's how it is normally) and my main one default and windows media sound and everything works but not famitracker.
I just experimented a bit more and found if I enable the internal sound card and plug in headphones directly to it, then make it the default playback device, famitracker works along with everything else. As soon as I change it back to the external soundcard, famitracker sound stops but everything else still works.
Not sure if maybe it's just how famitracker works-- does the internal soundcard have something going or receive information in a way my external does not? Thanks--
In fact interestingly enough, I can see the meter of my windows playback device moving when I am playing famitracker-- but still no audible sound (but other programs working)!
Hello!
I'm afraid I don't know what's wrong here. Famitracker uses DirectX for audio playback, so anything that's compatible with DirectX should work.
If you see the meter moving in windows then it appears to me that audio is working in the application itself but gets muted somewhere on the way.
Just wondering, have you tried changing the audio buffer size? Also make sure the sample rate is set to the native sample rate of your audio device.
Thanks for your reply-- I'm not certain if it's directx for this soundcard, i see it listed as "Yamaha steinberg FW WDM audio", or ASIO, perhaps it's not directx compatible? I use it for all my audio recording and playback. I tried changing the buffer size and also made sure it's the sample rate, 44.1lhz. If it's as simple as not being compatible, that's ok! If it seems like it should be, I'd be curious to know if there is a solution. Thanks!
