Intermittent audio when playing at 2x or more

PostWed Dec 23, 2020 8:28 pm

When playing clip at 2x speed or more, sometimes audio doesn't play (no sound). It works fine, then suddenly doesn't (only when playing at 2x+). Restart fixes the issue for a while. Am I missing something, accidently hitting a key, or is it a bug?

Otherwise 17 Studio Beta is working smoothly for me...

I haven't seen this yet myself in any Studio version for Windows. I use HDMI audio through my GPU.

I have the same issue. It plays fine at first when going 2x. But then it stops quickly after.

The audio still plays 2x in the fairlight page but they sound like chipmunks there.

Anybody figure out a workaround besides a restart?
(eg. up up down down left right left right a b...)

Yeah, and I can verify the Fairlight chipmunks.

When this happens, it's broken and unusable (I need to fast forward through footage).
(I forgot to mention I'm using the Studio version.)

<BUMP>

It'll work fine for days, then start having these issues every few minutes, requiring restart.

I discovered that it's happened after an audio track fade, where audio track fades back in, or pops back on.

When playing at 2x, it seems that audio won't come back on at 2x (or it's like chipmunk pitch in Fairlight). It won't play at 2x until restart. But it'll play fine at 1x speed.

Don't have a solution, but can confirm the audio also drops out for me on the cut page. Quite frustrating but glad it was found in the beta!
