Audio Driver Settings broken

I’m having this error on recent previews (6.7.0130)
Before having the error my aplication was crashing silently while playing audio.
I’ve have removed all old NAudio folders in Nugets and fresh install, without success.

After this issue, i can’t use audio at all, and Audio Configuration panel is broken.
I was able to reproduce this behavior on several machines, with no previous issues related to Audio.

Well, it looks something is missing here

After installing the missing dependencies, no red nodes but the silent crashing persist.

No problems / crashes here. Tested with 6.7-0130 and 6.7-0134.

@bjoern are you using any ASIO drivers and / or wasapi for playback.

Tried with WASAPI and Fruity Loops ASIO drivers.

Start VVVV, create a new patch, add Audio as dependency, open Audio configuration panel, press Enable, and i get this.
(6.7-0134 version)

Update:
I’ve open my application with version 6.3 & i don’t get the silent crashing.

More valuable information about silent crash.
If i keep open and visible the AudioPlayer patch, no silent crash.

Something is fishy in VL.Audio since 6.3 version

There are 2 issues described in this post.

1- Audio driver settings issue described in the first part.
2- Silent crash.

Regarding the Silent Crash.
I found the bugger.

The problem happens when DoSeek while Playing a file.

-It looks scrubbing .flac files is more harmful than using other formats. (Definetly it’s about .flac)
-If the patch is not visible the issue happens sooner. (Not 100% sure about this)
-First the sound stops, and after a while vvvv is unresponsive.

No crash here. Tested with 6.7-0136. WASAPI and Fruity Loops ASIO.
Added DriverSettings to the patch.

@bjoern With your file i don’t get any weird behavior.
With my files (downloaded from bandcamp, with same internal format, some at 44100Hz others at 48000Hz, and longer than yours > 200 secs) i get a crash after some seconds.
Not using ASIO drivers here, i get the same results using Wasapi than default device.

More investigation:
No issues so far with .mp3 and .wav files, independently of the length, i’ve tried with 10 min files, diferent formats & sample rates.

Console doesn’t show anything.

It looks that it’s around .flac files with a certain duration
