random audio cracklings when dms is running

Open shalevc1098 opened this issue 1 month ago • 5 comments

hello, so i noticed a weird bug, i was listening to music on spotify (even on youtube) and noticed random audio cracklings. tried investigating the error and i think it might have something to do with cava. i have a shortcut to reload dms, and when i pressed it i can get consistent audio cracklings, meaning it is a bug with dms. would be glad if you can fix this guys, thank you

Does it happen if you use cava directly? like no DMS, just type cava while audio is playing in a terminal

Tested today and it didn't happen there. For now i disabled the cava module from dms and had no cracklings so far. Cava was installed by DMS

I tweaked cava a little bit, maybe the new settings will help. Else potentially trying cava-git might help. But the cava integration is indeed optional, it's just a nice little visual.

it is 90% fixed but i can still hear spikes from time to time

tested now and it is still there, resorted to disabling enableAudioWavelength for now
