Hi all, this is the first or the second time I touch EOF.

The problem I'm having is that i get absolutely no sound in EOF. No music, no metronome. 

I can however see spectrogram and waveform, notes after I load them from GP5.

Of course other applications work well through default Windows sound mapping. It's Win7.

I'm using the latest - eof1.8RC12.

 

Failed to find any output device configuration, any ideas where should I look at?

EOF should automatically be using the default audio playback device, can you confirm that it is set to the device you expect before EOF launches? Perhaps certain devices aren't supported by Allegro (the game development library EOF uses).

yes, the default is actually the only one enabled in the system (2 others are disabled). nothing exotic - asus xonar d1.

A surround sound card might be too exotic for the old Allegro 4 library. If your computer has any onboard, it may be worth trying that just to see if it works.

i tried to enable another one - audio device built-in into my monitor (yes, there is an audio adapter there, not just wired from the computer. seems more exotic to me, hehe). i set is as default, and yes it worked.

still not the best choice for me. any chance to play with anything to get the xonar working?

Based on past reports, Xonar's EAX emulation (may be called something like "GX mode") isn't compatible, and disabling that feature may allow it to be used by EOF.

@@brie Any luck?

not yet, i'm currently away from the PC, will dig deeper on the weekend.

I have a "problem" when I put on headphones using a USB device.   If I started EOF while using my regular speakers, it won't make anymore noise once I've swapped audio devices (it won't work with headphones).   One I swap back to the audio device I opened EOF with, it works.

 

Hopefully that is useful.   I too believe it has something to do with your audio devices. 

If you change audio devices while EOF is running, restarting EOF should be all you need to do for it to output to your newly-assigned default device.
