Ts2 Multiple Bug Options

[friscotch]

Summary:
TS2 issues : dangerous self-feedback + multichannel audio files just play stereo + CPU over consumption.

Product Version and Format:
TS2 version 2.2.2

Description:
• Sometimes TS2 start to self-feedback : some kind of self delay starts and builds DANGEROUSLY, fortunately every time I could switch my sound card off before ear or speaker damage.
• Also sometimes TS2 plays only the two first channels of a multichannel (quadraphonic) audio files. On the 4 Vu-meters only 1 and 2 work, not 3 and 4 (and no sound on these channels).
• The CPU consumption is 30% just reading a simple quadraphonic file without any treatment, doesn't it look like over-consumption ?

Reproducibility:
Random Occurrence : the bugs exists since the first installation of TS2 2.2.2 and I haven't found a way to reproduce them. It just happens from time to time, sometimes TS2 works fine, but I keep my fingers close to my sound card power switch just in case... I currently avoid using TS2 for that reason.

Thanks for your feedback!

Can you share the TS2 audio settings? The level of the VU-meters corresponds to the output to the audio device so you have to ensure that all the 4 input channels (corresponding to the quadraphonic audio files) are well mapped to an output. There also might be some issues with the audio driver and Rosetta 2 support, we'll investigate (BTW, the audio engine has been updated and is compatible now with M1 so hopefully, TS2 will be compatible with M1 also).
Indeed, 30% is very high, this might also be related to the Rosetta 2 support, but also to the window size or the step size used by the audio engine (even without any transposition/time-stretch the audio engine is active). It would be helpful also if you could consolidate a document and share it with us.

Best regards,
