r8Brain cuts off at the end of track when I have Voxengo AUs enabled on Mac M1

Origin
1

I have not had an answer on this problem in a month: Audirvana cuts off the end of tracks when I have R8brain upsampling enabled and I am running either or both Voxengo AUs.

Voxengo says the problem is with Audirvana. Audirvana’s last excuse is that they don’t have an M1 Mac for testing their software. I either want a fix or a refund.

Audirvana Origin 2.2.3 (20203)

Your memory buffer is super low, you have 16gb of memory, try at 4000mb or even 8000mb

4

That’s not the answer I am asking for. I’ve moved the memory buffer up and down and and the results are the same.

5

Please, no more troubleshooting comments from people who are not Audirvana developers. We did the troubleshooting months ago and Audirvana needs to fix it or refund me.

6

For that you need to contact Audirvana support at support@audirvana.com.

Yep you’re absolutely correct, no use in testing or troubleshooting anything else with this setting. Case closed.

8

I put it all the way to the maximum memory buffer AND IT STILL CUTS OFF THE END OF TRACKS. I put it to the middle of a possible memory buffer AND IT STILL CUTS OFF THE END OF TRACKS.

Did you miss the part where I said I already did the troubleshooting with the memory for the audio buffer? I have done every setting – not just memory buffer – you and RunHomeSlow suggested in December. IT STILL CUTS OFF THE END OF TRACKS.

9

Did you try with only upsampling, without the plug-in?

10

Did you try reading my post about not wanting troubleshooting suggestions?

I already did that. It works without the plugins. I want a fix for everything working (upsampling + audio units) or a refund at this point.

I did and got this:

Basically, I am stuck with the same people giving me the same troubleshooting advice from last December. As I said in the first post here, Voxengo says the problem is with Audirvana. Audirvana’s last excuse is that they don’t have an M1 Mac for testing their software. I either want a fix or a refund.
