Title: Play stops after each track on 24/88 files (also 24/96)
Post by: briefremarks on March 16, 2014, 07:54:42 pm
Not sure if anyone else has experienced this.  I am using XXHE 1.186a on Windows 7 (Professional) laptop (Sony Vaio Z Series) with 8 GB memory.  I have had no issues playing 16/44.1 files upsampled to 24/88.2 with my Empirical Audio Overdrive DAC.

Main usual settings are: Q1/3/4/5 = 6/1/1/1; SFS=2.0; Max = 60; minimized OS.

However I have a problem with high resolution files: 24/96 as well as 24/88.2.  Play stops between tracks.  Very occasionally play will continue across tracks.  If I wait a while, I will get an error saying either that "data did not arrive on time" or "Engine #4 failed to start".

I've tried various settings changes as follows:

- Q1 from 6 to 20
- SFS from 1.0 to 4.00
- Max size from 60 - 120

Nothing however has worked so far. 

I'm really new at this, so I suspect there is much to be learned, but wondering if anyone has some thoughts or has encountered (and hopefully fixed) this issue.

Hi Ramesh,

Try SFS=60 (to get wild) and see whether that helps.

Notice that this is about loading "track parts" and that 24/88 is 3 times larger than 16/44.1;
If your normal SFS=2 then SFS=6 should be able to do it theoretically, but there is some more involved.

Peter
