Audio Buffer Size...Multiple of 8- Error Message

[Matt_SF]

@gorangrooves The solution is here : https://forum.hise.audio/topic/5833/hise-compatibility-with-windows-11-and-cubase-12/97?_=1669915471698

Add HISE_COMPLAIN_ABOUT_ILLEGAL_BUFFER_SIZE=0 to your plugin's extra definitions.

@Matt_SF Thanks, but that's not really a solution. The error message is quite important, and I wouldn't want to remove it.

What we need is to be able to close the message so that a user can make a change to their audio settings.

[Matt_SF]

@gorangrooves ah I see, you have a point there... But I for myself, chose the other philosophy : if someone wants to use a buffer size of 441, who am I to judge?

[gorangrooves]

@Matt_SF Unfortunately, those weird (441) buffer settings will throw an error and not allow a user to select a driver without them knowing why.

I don't think anybody selects those weird values on purpose. Some drivers have sliders (such as ASIO4ALL), as opposed pre-set values. So, users adjusting the buffer size can easily end up with weird values.

Having this message provides great feedback, but unfortunately doesn't currently allow a user to actually make the change.

@gorangrooves But the Hise options only allow buffers of a multiple of 8 so it would seem that the issue is with the audio drivers which you control outside of Hise / your standalone app... right?

[Christoph Hart]

I fixed this recently so now it should cope with any buffer size you throw at it (with a slight performance hit at weird buffer sizes).

You can safely deactivate the macro.

[Matt_SF]

@Christoph-Hart that's why I understood on the other thread.
@gorangrooves yes I get it. I know that if the user uses the Generic Low Latency ASIO Driver, he can only choose between a "small / medium / large" buffer size...

[gorangrooves]

@Christoph-Hart Good to know. Thank you. I guess I'll leave that for a future plugin update.

@Christoph-Hart how do I disable the macro please?

I am getting this error on Mac AU format but not with other formats - Mac VST works ok as does Windows VST. Is there a reason that I am only getting it on the Mac AU format and not the rest?

Sorry to reply to my own post, but do I need to rebuild hise in order to turn this off or is there a way to turn it off in the compiled version I'm already running?

Thanks in advance

@rzrsharpeprod You don't need to rebuild HISE, just put the
HISE_COMPLAIN_ABOUT_ILLEGAL_BUFFER_SIZE=0
flag in the Pre processor definitions in the project preferences

[rzrsharpeprod]

@Soundavid Excellent. That worked perfectly - thankyou

Much appreciated
