Bug report: app crashes when clicking "repeat" button while loading song

bug report:

application crashes when clicking “repeat” button while a song is loading (i.e. when clicking “repeat” button right after clicking play on track).

MacOS 26.1 (tho has been happening for two years ever since i first got Origin)
Origin

More information is needed… Please paste your debug information here to provide information about your playback setup and Audirvāna configuration…

I am unable to replicate this behavior on my system…

  • macOS 26.3
  • M2 Max Mac Studio, 64GB RAM (13GB allocated for playback pre-load)
  • Audirvāna Studio v3 Beta 2.99.18

Try increasing your playback pre-load memory allocation to 2GB and setting the bit-depth limit to 24bit… And, limit the sample-rate to 48kHz.

Bridge settings:
Sample rate limitation: none
Sample rate switching latency: none
Limit bitdepth to 24bit: OFF
Mute during sample rate change: OFF

*Also try up-sampling and down-converting all files to 48kHz using a ‘Custom’ strategy.

For example:

  • 44.14kHz → 48kHz
  • 48kHz → 48kHz
  • 88.2kHz → 48kHz
  • 96kHz → 48kHz
  • 176.4kHz → 48kHz
  • 192kHz → 48kHz
  • 352.8kHz → 48kHz
  • 384kHz → 48kHz
  • Keep in mind this is just in the context of the Apple EarPods, otherwise with the system DAC or another DAC you will apply a different playback configuration strategy.

don’t see the setting for “limit bitdepth to 24bit”

re: “try up-sampling and down-converting all files to 48kHz using a ‘Custom’ strategy.” – are you suggesting manually converting all audio files to 48kHz ? that kind of thing really should be handled by the software. not feasible or practical to have users convert their files.

You can choose to pick ‘custom’ when you want to do ‘upsampling’ . You can give Audirvāna the instruction to upsample 44.1 to 48, to play 48 at 48 and to down sample 88.2 and up to 48 as well.

When you choose for example ‘x2 only’ Audirvāna will multiply every sample rate by 2. E.g. 44.1 will become 88.2, 48 will become 96, 88.2 will become 176.4 etc.

With custom you have more flexibility.

Okay, I forgot about the specifics.. This is because the Apple EarPods only support 24bit signals… If the DAC supports 32 bit signals you get a choice of bit-depth in the “Device Input” settings.

Hi @nobodyknows , can you please try the latest version of Audirvāna Studio?
