You're welcome, glad you could solve your issue. No need to feel sorry, though. You had a problem, came asking for help, and with our input you could solve it. That (among some other aspects) is the purpose of a support forum, right?

Thanks @deus-ex and @kode54 for the clues, I found out what the problem was. Turns out I wasn't using the FluidSynth soundfont at all loaded through an sflist file, it has been a while since I last changed it.
It was an older Timbres of Heaven 3.92 that was a problem, upgrading to 3.94 solved the missing notes.

Sorry for the noise.

I was able to replicate notes dropping in Cog on macOS Big Sur, but only with the Apple system DLS/SF2 synthesizer, not with BASSMIDI.

No, it happens regardless of formats for me, like FLAC and MP3s. I am using ALSA for sound.

@j34

Please upload recordings (first ~30 seconds) of tf4-cred.mid played in foobar2000 and Timidity under Linux using FluidR3_GM.sf2 which demonstrate the playback issue you are reporting. I played tf4-cred.mid with FluidR3_GM.sf2 in foobar2000 and XMPlay, both played them identically without any missing notes. I verified that with a different SoundFont.

Support - (fb2k) / Albums, folders, or any of my music will not show when i add folders/location.

Last post by iliail - 2020-11-29 23:04:14

What I mean (video)
Whenever I try to add my music through using a location/folder, nothing shows up in my Album list, or Media list.
I'm curious as to how I can fix this, as it was working with the exact same setup on my last computer, but is not working now. (Same OS, same Foobar version, same plugins)
For filetypes im using mainly MP3's, with some FLAC and M3A in there.
Any idea?

Also DRM+ is not well adopted. I just receive a handful of DRM shortwave transmissions in the late evenings. None of them uses xHE-AAC.

You have to be patient, start on December 21.

@celona:
I am well aware that DRM+ specifies xHE-AAC as mandatory.
But DAB+ doesn't.

Thanks, celona! Now I understand what you mean. What I can confidently say is that the FDK-AAC decodings sound correct (i.e., as expected), and I'm pretty sure exhale is also operating correctly (i.e., according to the USAC standard). I'll check what can be done about this.

One question though:
Do you take special care to make every entry in the release notes of exhale having nearly the same width?

Yes

It's a habit of mine.

I am also getting weird distortion in Wine when playing certain tracks using 1.6.2, but not 1.6. I think it is something to do with the AAC decoder though.

It occurs using either my own Pulseaudio output, or the default output through Wine, and it happens with v13 and v14 of Pulseaudio, so it is not any of those components. My own output doesn't trigger the automatic resampler so I don't think it's the resampler. As far as I can tell, it happens only for AAC tracks. It also doesn't happen with the same files in Windows, even when connected straight to Pulseaudio using my output. I think the distortion sounds something like floating point values being interpreted as fixed point or vice versa.

Are you also playing AAC files?
