reporting foobar2000 v1.6.7 beta bug

No idea if this is helpful - I just tried the beta version - removed wasapi as instructed - but listening to dsd64 the sound went to hell after around 5 mins of playing. Sounded partially scrambled - like under water.  Changing the buffer length made no difference.  Restarting the track or restarting from the bad playing position, sound was ok. It happened regularly after playing -  so I have gone back to to 1.6.6 for now.

Can supply more config data if requested

What format is the dsd64 in? What is decoding it? Remember that if you're playing it as PCM, it's being downsampled. And since the input samples are deltas of 100% in magnitude, the only thing making them reasonable PCM samples is using a high quality algorithm to sort of average them together, but more complicated than that. If this filter has a problem, it could theoretically collapse into garbage after so many minutes of playback.

If you're passing DSD64 directly to your audio device, I might blame the audio device for not handling DSD properly. Seeking or restarting the track would reset whatever processing is turning the DSD into listenable audio, either way.

Does foobar2000 even support DSD natively? I ask because this may be related to another DSD issue I've found.

In 1.6.6, using foo_input_sacd adds DSD audio devices to the output device list. These work with the old WASAPI exclusive mode plugin and are mostly prefaced with DSD : WASAPI (push) : (audio device name).

When you remove the old WASAPI plugin in favor of the new built-in one, you no longer get any DSD output options. However, you get several additions to the list still that don't appear if you don't have the SACD plugin installed. These follow the format Default : (audio device name) [exclusive], oddly enough.

This seems to mainly be an artifact of how foo_input_sacd interacted with the old WASAPI exclusive mode plugin, but it looks to me like there is no longer a way to output DSD directly. I don't have a way to check if the output devices that say "Default" output DSD or not because my DAC doesn't support DSD.

I have provided screenshots.

The direct DSD modes are useless if your DAC doesn't support DSD.

I never intended to use direct DSD. The reason for my post was to point out that there is at least one bug I've found with the only DSD decoder for foobar2000 I know of, and that because of the way it interacted with the old WASAPI plugin, there may be more bugs in the way it works now without it. OP could be experiencing something related because they seem to have been using direct DSD.

It is impossible if it does not support DSD.

Ken, I'm a little confused by your last post. Does ASIO work with sending DSD to a compatible DAC?

Correct the repeat in the Spectrum scale.

Not so much a repeat, as the frequency bands not being on even 1KHz boundaries with each other, and the label numbers being rounded, so two bands that are close to each other are both being labeled "11K".
