All sounds, instruments, beats, and even the metronome are completely distorted and echoing. I'm new to LMMS, but I'm comfortable troubleshooting hardware & software issues in windows. I stream as a DJ and all my systems audio is run through my dj controller. I'll list all my specs, then everything I have tried in an attempt to troubleshoot/resolve the sound issue in LMMS.
From LMMS.io site I originally downloaded LMMS 1.2.2 win-64, then downloaded 1.3.0-alpha win-64 and I am still tinkering with 1.3.0
PC Specs:
Win 10 Pro-22H2
Gigabyte Z490 Gaming X MB
i5-10600k @ 4.6ghz (Corsair Liquid Cooled Radiator)
Geforce 2070rtx 8gb
16gb DDR4 3600mhz cl16 RAM
Pioneer DDJ-400 dj controller
Audio-Technica ATH headphones jacked into DDJ-400 controller for sound.
Sound/Audio works in Chrome, Media Player, Discord, Virtual DJ, OBS, Twitch, Audacity & Games.
My attempts to troubleshoot LMMS 1.3.0-alpha win-64:
The first thing I noticed was changing any audio settings in LMMS requires a restart. To be on the safe side, I made a kicker bassline beat, then pulled up the Audio settings and started going down the list...Saving the project each time and restarting LMMS. Then I went back through the Audio interface list again without saving the project, just for good measure.
Audio Interface Dropdown: Adjusted Buffer size for every setting Min/Max/Mid
Dummy - No sound does nothing
SDL - Everything I researched says to use this, I could not get any sound to output; tinkered with windows settings also.
Jack (Jack Conn Kit) - Detects my 2 audio Channels - Right Click channels>Connect to controller...MIDI finds my DDJ400, no sound. Tinkered with all the options in there for connection settings, relaunched, messed with windows sound options, couldn't get any sound to output.
PortAudio: - Backend: MME, Win WDM-KS
WDM-KS Device: A ton of device options, DDJ400, Realtek outputs, both monitors, microphone, 9 options in total. Not 1 of them will output sound. Each Device tried HQ mode on/off, Buffer size Min/Mid/Max, Saving/Not, relaunching LMMS. Nothing couldn't get sound output from any of them.
MME Device: A ton of device options same as WDM except has Sound Mapper Output and DDJ400; These 2 device settings output sound. But the sound is completely distorted with an echo. OK, finally getting somewhere. Tinkered with buffer sizes, HQ settings, my dj controller settings, & windows sound settings and can't get any result other than complete trash distortion.
Then I thought it was the TripleOscillator, maybe the settings got messed up in there somewhere. Nope, messed with all the nobs for hours and the audio is just complete distortion. I tried removing the Osc, using other plugins, nothing...Everything... all sound and instruments are 100% distorted with a long echo effect.
I am completely out of ideas, couldn't find any fixes via youtube, reddit or forums. So now I am here. Hopefully, someone knows a fix, LMK...much love!
