Description Marcos Kintschner 2018-08-13 21:22:50 UTC 
I've got a robotic sound when using wasapi. It literally sounds like a robotic speaking...

GST_DEBUG=3,wasapi:6 gst-launch-1.0.exe wasapisrc ! wasapisink

I also get the robotic sound with:

directsoundsrc ! audioconvert ! wasapisink

With this configuration:

wasapisrc ! audioconvert ! directsoundsrc

It's not robotic, it's just a periodic noise.

directsoundsrc ! directsoundsink works fine though.

Any chance you could try with the tip of the 1.14 branch?

I think/hope this is fixed already, and there should be a 1.14.3 release soon, but it would be nice to have it confirmed.
Comment 2 Tim-Philipp Müller 2018-08-13 21:58:48 UTC 
Didn't mean to close this quite yet.
Comment 3 Marcos Kintschner 2018-09-23 23:36:22 UTC 
Sorry for the delayed answer.

As of version 1.14.3, the robotic sound is completely gone.

(Tested with official x86 release on Windows 10 64 bit)
