Reply to Does the Acoustic Bridge trial deliberately cut output periodically? in Other Stardock Software Stardock Forums

Just for the record, I bought AB and installed the non-trial version, just in case there was a difference. I still have the random cutting out issue. I haven't had time to troubleshoot it much, although I did try a clean user account. The cut-out still happened. Restarting the service on the receiver PC always restores sound. Sometimes I can go a full day without it happening, sometimes it happens several times in an hour. There is no pattern in what I'm doing, running, etc. o

Sorry for the delay replying. I got called away for a while. Unfortunately it seems my MP trial is about to end so this is probably as far as I'll get :( I did try installing MP into a clean virtual machine (on VMWare Workstation) which I could keep running on the receiver PC. That introduced a half second delay in audio though, so was not appropriate for the game use. If I get chance before the trial expires I'll try a 'clean' user account.

Any suggestions? The sound is stopping frequently. Restarting the service on the receiver starts it again, but it's a pain keep having to exit the game and swap consoles to do so.

Right... When the sound stopped, running your batch file on the source PC did not restart the sound. I ran it twice and it completed successfully. I also saw the service stop and start in the event log, which showed nothing else of interest. Running the batch file on the receiver PC did restart the

I'll give the service restarter a go next time it happens. It's being awkward today and hasn't stopped the sound yet, lol. I already have that setting ticked. For clarity, when I do something in the game which seems to coincide with the sound stopping, the sound in the game (its background music) is still supposed to be playing continually. It doesn't actually stop in the game. And yes, I realized what MP does. I've always had a complex, multiple PC setu

It's happening with the MP trial too. I uninstalled AB before installing MP. It happened after a few hours, then again just a few minutes later. Both seemed randomly caused. Re-entering the code (on the source PC this time) restarted the sound as usual. My setup is this; at least the relevant parts: An HP mini PC with keyboard, mouse, monitor and external audiophile DAC and headphones. This is the sound receiver. A gaming PC, also connected to the abov

OK, I'll give that a go over the weekend and let you know. If needs be I can run a packet capture or whatever you need, but I have a feeling it's not network related. The PCs in question are wired Ethernet, same switch, same VLAN, static IPv4 addresses everywhere. IPv6 is SLAAC on those PCs but I guess IPv6 is not relevant. I did find that I could get the sound working again by re-entering the passcode on the sending PC (previously I had only done it on the receiver) so that w

Thank you AzDude, much appreciated.

No, and I haven't had any help with my other thread on the subject either. It's a real shame because, when it works, it works perfectly and is exactly what I need. I would pay double for it! It just cuts out far too often for no apparent reason. The cut-out is completely random. I've had it work for eight hours without cutting out, and I've had it cut out only minutes after starting to use it and several times in an hour. I've searched the event logs for anything that

Today AB stopped sound (on the receiver) only two minutes after starting up the Tx PC and starting to use it, and three times since in about two hours. It's borderline unusable like this. The service is still running when I check on the receiver. I can't see any obvious cause.

It's all wired, through a gigabit Cisco switch ETA: AB is permitted in my firewall which has not logged any blocks. Given that AB can work for (so far) up to six hours, I doubt it's anything to do with the firewall. I don't use an active antivirus so it's not that.

How to debug Acoustic Bridge stopping sound in Other Stardock Software Stardock Forums

I keep losing sound coming from the transmitter PC on the receiver PC. There is nothing happening to cause this that I can see; power management is effectively 'off' and nothing else is happening. I'm just using the receiver to get the sound from another PC. It seems to happen at random times. I've had it work for six hours, then stop twice in an hour. If I open the receiver AB window and click 'Change Receiver Passcode', then just press enter without changing anything, the sound work

If not, then something's going wrong... I've just come across Acoustic Bridge, and it's perfect for what I need. The trial works great, except that the receiver stops playing the audio every so often. Four times so far since I started the trial this afternoon (so about once every hour). To get it working again, I just click 'Change receiver passcode' on the receiver PC and then press Enter without changing anything. The sound immediately starts again, so I guess the issue is w
