No sound from HISE Controller on macOS

[xsaad]

@ulrik Well thanks I'll hope someone who went through the same problem

[David Healey]

@xsaad Confirmed, I get no sound output with a build from yesterday.

[Sifres]

Its been there a while I guess. It didnt work for me in my en of februay / march build.

[David Healey]

@xsaad If you could test out some earlier commits and try and figure out when the issue started it would be helpful.

@ulrik What commit are you using? We can work forward from there.

[xsaad]

@David-Healey Where can I find previous versions to start trying them out?

[David Healey]

@xsaad Through the commit history on github. You have to checkout a commit and then build it and test it. However if you go back/forth between the commits when the JUCE submodule was added it might get a bit messy so unless you're familiar with working with git you might run into issues.

[xsaad]

@David-Healey Thanks for confirming! I'm not very familiar with Git, so I don't know how to revert to an older version. Which stable build should I use for macOS, and where can I find it?

[David Healey]

@xsaad If a commit builds then it's probably as stable as any other commit... if you want that specific feature working then wait to see which commit @ulrik is using and use that one.

[xsaad]

@David-Healey I'll wait for @ulrik to share the commit he’s using. Hopefully, I can find a pre-built version of that stable commit or wait for a fix in the latest one.
​I really appreciate the support!

You won't find a prebuilt version of the commit he's using. But you need to be able to compile HISE from source anyway in order to export your project, so now is a good time to learn.

@xsaad The "about Hise" shows no commit

but I found this:

It is created on 20 Dec 2025 and the file contains this:
cd4c4c6b41aaf71b6eb8171e8c5d9ccac5bc133a

So it leads me to this commit:
https://github.com/christophhart/HISE/commit/cd4c4c6b41aaf71b6eb8171e8c5d9ccac5bc133a

[David Healey]

@ulrik Don't trust it, open your HISE source folder in a terminal and run git log

[Christoph Hart]

Fixed on develop. There was a build-flag mismatch that prevented all incoming buffer content to be propagated through the signal path in the HISE standalone build configuration.

That affected the HISE controller playback as well as the latency check - which is also fixed now.

[ulrik]

@David-Healey That will not work, I'm not using git

[Christoph Hart]

@ulrik said in No sound from HISE Controller on macOS:

I'm not using git

lol why?

[xsaad]

@Christoph-Hart Thanks! I just updated HISE via Terminal using git pull origin develop, rebuilt the standalone version in Xcode, and the audio playback in the HISE Controller is now working perfectly. I appreciate the quick fix!
Thank you also to @David-Healey and @ulrik

[ulrik]

@Christoph-Hart Have never done it and am not familiar with it.
Maybe I will change some time when I'm not doing a lot of developing, do you recommend me to switch?

[Christoph Hart]

@ulrik of course. Git is the single tool across all software development that pays off. I couldn‘t imagine doing any non toy project without version control. How are you tracking your progress?
