The audio is lagging.

[dtc225310312-eng]

I'm using version v1.0.0-rc3 and experiencing constant audio stuttering. The longer it lasts, the more the sound cuts out, eventually going completely silent. I've tried older versions and the problem persists. I'm not sure if it's my device or the software. However, there was one instance where enabling/disabling preview cache fixed the issue, but the problem returned after disabling it.

This has been reported on Windows before, not sure what the problem is. I was not able to replicate it on my Windows laptop last time I got a similar report, can test it again.

• Could be a driver issue, we only support WASAPI on Windows (but we could add a fallback)
• Could be the audio specs
• Could be Qt

@rodlie I switched from 48000Hz to 44100Hz and that fixed the issue. But honestly, the sound quality with that frequency response is a bit poor, and it's only for the Friction system alone.

Thanks for the information, this is something we can add as a config.

44.1 is "poor"? I doubt that, if so then it's not 44.1.

Anyway, what you hear is not what is exported.

@rodlie Sorry, I'm not very good at English, so I had to use Google Translate, which may have resulted in some incorrect words. Anyway, I don't know if this method will truly fix the problem or if it's just a temporary solution. Hopefully, future Windows updates will fix this issue.

No problem :)

I will add some options in the settings for audio that might fix the issue. Will notify when I have something you can test.
