driver init(?)

imperia

i have noticed that everytime when some program opens the sounddevice (wave or directsound) the driver reinits(?) itself and some clicks are heard(maybe because of my tuner card pluged in line in).
is there a way to get around this or if this is a bug will it be fixed?

And the mixer volume settings restores its last time settings everytime when the driver reinits. (fix for this is to set the volume thru kxmixer and then to close it. if you use master mixer(windows default volume control) the settings are not updated after you close it).

i want my audiocard to stop clicking everytime i preview a mp3 file using explorer(plus integrated media player) for example.

i mean: can't the driver just remember its settings and not to reinit everytime the sounddevice is opened.

>> driver reinits

the driver doesn't actually reinit itself
it allocates one additional voice for directsound purposes, which is not used, but has a sampling rate of 190000. this can cause clicks (but in general, it should not)

concerning the mixer issues:
this is a bug in Windows, that's why it is recommended not to use windows mixer and use kxmixer instead
