Title says it all really. Latest M9.0.42 in use.

Every time I click on the MULAB button and select Audio Setup, MuLab just freezes. The cursor changes to the circle timer thingy and never stops. I've left it for half hour before while I went and did something else!

I understand your current circumstances are restricting development time at present, but if you could look into this please, as soon as you can, thank you :tu:

EDIT: Most apps have the ability to set it to Windows Default device, so you don't need to keep changing it in the app constantly, is it possible to have this in MuLab please?

For me it sounds like a system specific issue.
Maybe an issue with one of that drivers on your system.

About the "Windows Default Device": That's the MME Sound Mapper.
So it's already there.

Any idea what could be the cause? I don't have any additional sound cards or devices.

Ah ok, wasn't sure what that was. Thank you.

No.

But note that changing the audio device settings outside MuLab while MuLab is running and not in the Audio Setup dialog mode is an unsupported case.
If you want to change anything about the audio device settings, inside or outside MuLab, make sure MuLab's Audio Setup dialog is open because when opening the Audio Setup dialog MuLab safely disables processing and when you're done with the Audio Setup dialog MuLab safely restarts processing.

Ah this may be the reason for the cause of the freezing then?

There should be no freeze while changing things while the Audio Setup dialog is open.

If the freeze occurs upon opening the Audio Setup dialog then lets research if that freeze depends on VST plugins by doing this:
* Relaunch MuLab
* Open one of the demo projects
* Open the Audio Setup dialog

Does the freeze happen or not?

I think the freeze is caused if you change the audio device via Windows FIRST, then open the Audio Setup in MuLab.
I opened a purely MuLab project and did exactly that, ML froze. But after killing it and then repeating the steps without changing audio device in Windows, no freeze! :)

That's the unsupported case i mentioned in my earlier post.
Maybe you overlooked?

Ah yes sorry, thank you. Least I know what's causing it now! :)
