Problem with a sound file (delay, wave form) [fixed]

Post by sebastian »

Good evening,
I have a problem with playback in the timeline. When I start the timeline, the light tracks are fine, but the music is delayed by 2-3 seconds. I use music in WAV format (PCM 16 bit, 44100 Hz, stereo). I know that the program has a different encoder than other audio software. I read about it on the forum, but I don't know how to fix it. Thank you.

Could you please send us the audio file + a ZIP of your lightshow via wetransfer ?
(viewtopic.php?t=101)
We will check that.

The problem persists in all light shows, even if I create a completely new one and only import music, the problem still persists:

Music: https://we.tl/t-F4X9a7Gm5f

I also used the first version of the software, where I used the timeline once and had the same problem.

You sent only the audio file without your lightshow, so we tested only the audio file, and it works ok here.

We suspect a Codec problem in your system.
We suggest you to install "K-Lite Codec pack": https://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm .

I installed https://www.codecguide.com/configuratio ... rsion=1930 and the problem is solved. It works perfectly for all songs, regardless of type.

Thank you very much. :D

Hello. The problem persists, after not using the program for a long time, the problem returns - reinstalling https://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm helps, but later it happens again, is this normal?

This may happen when another program or a "Windows update" has changed the configuration of "DirectShow" (the OS media player).
Please let us know if this happen regularly.

I just want to ask if there is anything I need to set in the application (for loading audio) so that this doesn't happen.

Sorry, we don’t think so.
Our software has no authority to prevent other applications from changing the settings.
It’s similar to when an internet browser asks to become your default browser. If you answer ‘yes’, the previous one is simply replaced.
