Thank you!
I’m on Win 11 with English (United States) language/region settings. I fixed it by disabling:
“Windows 11 Settings —> Time & language —> Language & region —> Windows display language —> Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support”
So far, so good!
ESET Smart Security Premium. I already had BAE whitelisted, and of course, I also tried reinstalling after pausing/disabling all ESET components; no change. Didn’t see anything in ESET logs either.
There is talk of audio driver issues with Windows update (KB5077241), which is the one I had tried uninstalling in my previous comment above. But like I said, removing it, and reinstalling BAE didn’t help. If that’s the culprit, it’s weird that it took over a week to bug out, and it didn’t resolve when rolling back.
Anyway, IDK what else to try tbh. Hopefully whatever it is will resolve itself soon.
No issues with any other 32 bit apps, or anything else tbh. It was working fine one night, and after booting up the next morning, BAE was silent. All other audio stuff works though.
I’ve been using BAE since 2010, and I think the last time I had a problem with it was over ten years ago, when trying to register it on Windows 10 lol. So this blip is puzzling for sure.
I really hope BAE stays around; life without it is awful. No other “similar” app comes even close. 🤞
My last Windows update was about ten days ago, but I tried uninstalling it anyway; didn’t help. I suppose it could be caused by one of the “gradual rollout” features from an even earlier Win update, but I’m not comfortable going back any further with all the security related stuff that’s been installed since. Event logs don’t seem to reveal any hints either, other than the generic stuff as shown in my first post.
My only other recent change was an Nvidia graphics driver update. Tried rolling that back as well just for the heck of it, but still no luck.🤷♂️
Any more recent whispers from Leif about the ever-elusive “new version” of BAE we’ve been teased with for over three years now?🫠
I installed the new BAE v1.44, and I noticed that you can indeed enable up to 192kHz/32bit!!! Idk if it was available in the previous version of BAE or not, but with v1.44, there is an app called “Breakaway Pipeline Control Panel”.
On my system, the Breakaway Pipeline Control Panel allows a range of sample rates between 5kHz – 192kHz, and a range of bit depths between 8 and 32 BPS. You set the ranges you’d like to see in that control panel, and then those ranges appear in the Windows Sound Options Control Panel.
Don’t forget to hit the “SET” button in the Breakaway Pipeline Control Panel after making changes and before opening the Winows Audio Properties. Of course it’s also probably a good idea to change everything and then restart the Windows Audio Service BEFORE you open the main BAE app.
