Development - (fb2k) / Redundant GUID declaration
Last post by Tam Lin -
The GUID declared in the function g_get_guid(), in the file dsp_sample.cpp, in the solution foo_sample, is ignored by the compiler (VS2022). Instead, the compiler recognizes the GUID declared in dsp_sample.h. The two declarations are in different namespaces.

everyone can quickly make a test installing the second version of Foobar “portably” – 2 Foobar versions can be run parallelly – which should allow you to quickly switch between them.
But that wouldn't reproduce what you claim to be hearing.  It should only be necessary to capture the output from the PC (not the output from the speakers)... either electrically, or perhaps simply using Audacity to grab the output.  If you aren't up for that, then forget trying to convince the powers-that-be you have a valid point.

The principle of ABX is blind testing.  If you know what source you're listening to at the time you're listening, then psychological biases are in play and differences can be imagined most convincingly.

I have not run into this issue, and have not heard of anyone else running into a similar issue during the entire development of foobar2000 2.x.  One thing to note is that ASIO tends to bypass Windows Audio Mixer settings, so make sure that the max volume levels for fb2k in the mixer are at the same level (100%) for both installations.  Also ensure that you have the latest audio drivers for your system.

If you use ASIO why would you need audio drivers for?
Everything is converted in your DAC specially if you output via USB.

I checked the option in the converter's "Other" section. The converter reported the same error and the file was still deleted - which suggests it's not a foobar2000 issue.

Understood about WAV over pipes and the --ignore-chunk-sizes option found in encoders. I prefer to use piped encoding as it's much faster (and uses up less of the lifetime write of SSDs).

Further checking, by removing lossyWAV from the command line and piping foobar2000 output to command line FLAC, has also ruled out command line FLAC as the culprit. It seems that my --ignore-chunk-sizes option in lossyWAV is not working as intended.

Many thanks again for taking the time to explain foobar2000's piped output and converter options that I had previously missed. Very much appreciated.
