it seems FMOD Studio is changing the sample rate to 48K and buffer size to 1024 every time I start the program. I have to switch back to my original settings manually.
Also when I open up a project the output device cannot be initialized, only ASIO is seen in the dropdown list, The second dropdown list is empty and disabled. The only workaround is to select other device, then select ASIO again, then I can select the Focusrite USB Audio which will solve the issue.
Could you please advise?
My setup is:
Windows 10
Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 (1st gen)
FMOD Studio 2.00.09
ASIO device list:
Focusrite USB Audio
Voicemeeter AUX Virtual ASIO
Voicemeeter Insert Virtual ASIO
Voicemeeter Virtual ASIO
Welcome to the FMOD forum. By default, the buffer size is set to 1024, but it can be overridden using the “Force DSP buffer block size to samples” setting under the Audio tab of the Preferences dialog. Wondering if there is any particular motivation or reason for your original settings and that you would preferred FMOD Studio to use those instead?
With regards to the second dropdown, wondering if you could provide the log for the session or if there is any errors in the logging tab of the Console view?
thank you for the reply. For my other audio projects (instrument recording, piano playing) I use 44.1K with lower buffer settings, but if game audio requires 48K I can change my mindset and be prepared.
Please see the logs below. I closed all other audio apps, started the Studio in Administrator mode and tried with 2.01.01 - with the same issues. I’m happy to help if you need further logs.
