I have been playing with the Breakaway Pipeline as a standalone audio loopback device. I see that you can add other “Cables” and they appear to work (somewhat, possibly because I over-configured the app). How can I get the app to it’s default install? I have uninstalled but upon reinstallation the app comes back configured the same as it was when I uninstalled. Question… After adding a second “Cable” why can’t BAE see that sound device? My other apps can see “Line 2 (Breakaway Pipeline)” and pass audio through it.
If you have the Breakaway Audio Control Panel program installed, you should just be able to modify the parameters to bring it back to its defaults.
BAE purposely only allows one line, as it was never designed to modify output to other audio programs. Many people have tried over the years to record the output, but I believe that the program is coded to prevent this. Maybe the re-write, when we see it, will relax this restriction.
Is there a “reset to defaults” on the interface? I must have missed it. If there isn’t a “default” button, I have no way to remember the settings to put them back. Is there an INI file or a file that could be deleted so a reinstall starts with defaults. I arrived at this by analyzing the sample rate converter (based on another post). Then foolishly I tweaked several parameters trying to understand the functionality of the pipeline. Now there are some distortions that I don’t remember being there so if I could reset the configuration entirely I thought that would clear up the distortion. Some of this distortion is also the windows “foolish” CAudioLimiter.
