ASIO problem | repeatedly play/pause quickly = playback error: Timeout, [TOS #6: was "problem in ASIO playback"] Options

[hori]

I'm faced with a problem in ASIO playback on foobar2000.

When I repeat Play and Pause very quickly while using ASIO driver,
I encounter a playback error "Unrecoverable playback error: Timeout".

I investigated the internal processing and found the following fact:

ASIO driver invokes bufferSwitch callback, and when ASIOStop is
called from ASIO host at the same time, the bufferSwitch callback
does occasionally not return control to the ASIO driver.
Therefore the ASIO driver keeps waiting and is not able to complete
the ASIOStop processing.

It seems to me the point of this problem is that the bufferSwitch
callback does not return the control.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Not sure if this is the right place or if i should start a new thread:

I get the same error but I'm not repeatedly using play/pause, just playing tracks and then after a random amount of time the playback "sticks" and I receive that same error message.

if it helps:
I'm using an original mbox and the digidesign asio drivers that go with it.

When performing playback of some tracks with different formats, ASIO plug-in repeats play and pause.
If the condition is as described above, I think the cause is the same.

You are using version 2.1.1 of foo_out_asio.dll also in my environment.
However, the problem does not seem to occur in version 1.2.7.

All the files are mp3 V0 encoded in Foobar from the original CDs.
Does ASIO not like VBR maybe?
Then again, I also get this when tuned into internet radio station, 128k mp3 stream (nominal)
Would that other earlier version work for you and if so where could I get a copy to see if it fixes my problem?

No, there is no reason that there would be any interaction between these two technologies. VBR audio, like anything else, is decoded to a stream that is then sent to your hardware.

There are some PCM tracks with different sampling rates in my playlist.
It is not MP3.

However, if you want to play MP3 tracks with different sampling rate
(not bit rate), a switching between tracks would cause stop and then
restart.

I'm sorry, I don't know.

Sorry to bump this but I'm facing the same problem occasionally.

Also ran into timeout problems. The only thing I've changed since 1.1.11 was playing with the buffer, from 168+ samples to 64 samples.

They happen quite often, really. I can't explain why, and simply restarting the song solves it.
