Listening Tests / Re: Problem with schnofler's ABC/HR Tool

That's what I tested too. That's the first useful information you have given, btw. You for example didn't make it clear in your first post what kind of test configuration you had created that you then failed to load, or if you were loading some pre-existing configuration found from the depths of the internet.

There is a newer ABC/HR tool bundled with the various listening tests performed here on Hydrogenaudio. But I didn't see any functional difference between that rarewares version and the one with newer version number. Both manage to load my test config and play the samples.

Thanks for the sample. Results were even more different than I expected.

I googled for a couple of random different third party implementations and scanned the file with them. These tools gave DR0 too for the track.
The DRMeter filter in ffmpeg managed to give result close to the old tool, DR of about 0.56. I see ffmpeg uses histrogram, though not in the way described in the document. And it uses highest clipped peak even though the variable is handily named second peak.
Trying to confirm how well ffmpeg's filter fares generally I tried it on a random 16 minute track. It failed to give any results.

I'll see what I can do to improve things once I have the right amount of time and motivation.

Tested on Windows 10 with Oracle Java Version 8 Update 431 and things worked even better than with the newer Adoptium version. This combination managed to open pre-existing encrypted configs too.
I have tried so simulate problem scenarios by removing the files referenced in test config, that gives a proper error about missing file. Tried nulling the config file, that gives a proper error. Tried removing the test file references from config file, that too gave a different error. Tried leaving internet sourced marking to the .jar file, that didn't cause any launch issues.
I can't reverse engineer the steps Klymins has taken to make things not work.

General - (fb2k) / Re: Found bug in component "ASIO Output" foo_out_asio v2.2.4

Finally had a chance to test this and I can't seem to be able to replicate the problem. With Ifi drivers foobar playback stops progressing and seekbar starts wobbling, but once Reaper is on the background and releases ASIO, hitting Stop and playing again allows everything to work. With an ASIO2WASAPI wrapper locking the device for exclusive use made Reaper crash when it tried to access the driver. With shared mode both operated fine simultaneously at their respective sampling rates and ASIO driver resampled things transparently.

I think having the track would be helpful. Differences with the old DR meter are expected, but the lack of artificial clipping should show higher DR numbers and not smaller, so this is unexpected.

Hi Case, just noticed a track where the DR provided by this component doesn't match the old one. Probably due to rounding errors.

Not sure if that's expected behavior or a bug. Do you need the track?
