DSound - minimize/restore app window

Hi Guys,

I’ve setup an audio application based on the Standalone version of the juce wrapper, and I’m seeing some weird behaviour.
Each time I minimize/restore my application window, I got some quirks in the sound and the following line appear in the VC debugger.

closing dsound out: Primary Sound Driver
The thread ‘Win32 Thread’ (0x638) has exited with code 0 (0x0).
The thread ‘Win32 Thread’ (0x3d8) has exited with code 0 (0x0).
opening dsound out device: Primary Sound Driver rate=44100 bits=16 buf=960
’beat.exe’: Loaded ‘C:\WINNT\system32\SETUPAPI.DLL’, Cannot find or open a required DBG file.
‘beat.exe’: Loaded ‘C:\WINNT\system32\USERENV.DLL’, No symbols loaded.
‘beat.exe’: Unloaded ‘C:\WINNT\system32\SETUPAPI.DLL’
‘beat.exe’: Unloaded 'C:\WINNT\system32\USERENV.DLL’

opening dsound out step 3

It looks like Juce kinda close the audio device.
Weird thing is I still hear the audio playing when the application is minimized.

Did I miss something ?

Thanks,

It might just be re-syncing. DSound is hopeless, and when it loses input/output sync, the juce code has to re-start the devices.

oki doki.
I agree that DSound sucks :slight_smile:

Thanks,
