Topic: [solved] MusicBee 3.6.9345- sample rate switching doesn't work anymore

Since I’ve recommended MusicBee a few times here as a music player for Windows and as there are IMO not so many good music players around, I wanted to give you a quick heads-up on this topic.

Better stick with MusicBee version 3.5.x for now, until automatic switching of sample rate is hopefully resolved again in a future update of the 3.6 release train.

Background:
- Originally, it didn’t work at all in MusicBee, reported by me in Version 3.1.6512 Dec 2017
   but Steven was so kind to spend some time on it to make it work.
- Then it worked nicely for a couple of years, but with 3.6.9345, the issue is back.
- When the issue started is not clear, possibly with 3.6.*.

I didn't upgrade MusicBee for a longer time and detected the issue first in 3.6.9345.
I can confirm that in v3.5.8698 there is no issue.

The setup:

PC
|
| USB3
|
UFX III---ADAT1 OUT-----SPDIF(o)------->ADAT IN---ADI-2 Pro FS R BE (in AD/DA mode)

Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 (extended support until Jan 2032)
MADIface driver 1.02
This information is only for documentation purposes. I am pretty sure that this is no RME issue because it works fine in v3.5 and it is a known issue that most Windows Music Players have an issue with sample rate changes when using an ASIO driver.

I will give you an update once the issue is fixed.
Have a nice day!

Re: [solved] MusicBee 3.6.9345- sample rate switching doesn't work anymore

I contacted Steven Mayall through MusicBee forum.
Its fixed now in 3.7.9663 (the Beta train).
There is no intention to backport the fix to the release train 3.6 or to the latest 3.5.
So you have to use the Beta version of MusicBee.
I see no issues by this, works stable so far.
