Hello Damien,

 

Function "Add file to iTunes" does not function any more since the 1.4.9.10 version…

 

Confirmed here, as well - not limited to just .ISO files, can't' add *any* files (including FLAC, DSF, etc.) to iTunes library using the "add files. . ." function.

... haven't still tried with 1.5, but in these last 4-5 days I added *many* Flacs using 1.4.9.11

Same problem with me. In earlier versions this worked fine.

There is an issue with the "Proxy only, no sound". I've fixed it and it will be in 1.5.1 I'm going to issue shortly.

Thanks! Great sofware, Damien!

Hi Damien,

 

Please remember to add the user possibility to mark a full album as "Out of phase", instead of track by track.

 

Also, when you have the time, answer my PM. I know it's busy world!

 

Kind regards,

 

Roch

that only happens under some circumstances, I guess, as... that's how I use it :-0

I noted another bug, when a very low quality track is played (32kb/s song of my daughter;-)), Audirvana crash. In earlier versions this worked fine.

Can somebody confirm?

In mode integred with iTunes 11.0.3 !!

I seem to have developed a problem with 1.5 that did not exist yesterday when I initially upgraded. When playing songs in A+ playlist (dropped from Itunes) the song will not play through. It may play for 10 seconds or a minute, but always stops with a message that flashes once in the upper left of the A+ display that says "stopped audio playback" and quickly disappears. None of the songs will now play through.

 

Is there some setup that I have wrong or is this another bug? I NEVER had a problem at all before this upgrade. Thanks.

[rettijon]

Further info. I have shut down my MB Pro, switched usb ports and reset my Mytek DAC. Same problem persists.

 

I also tried playing from Itunes integrated mode and playing stops after a few seconds with the message "releasing itunes playback"

 

Has ANYONE else had this issue?

 

How can I install the previous release. I purged my download folder a week ago and don't know how to downgrade now to the earlier release.

 

Thanks

[rettijon]

One last comment - switched from USB to firewire. Same problem still occurring. I don't know what else to try at this point. Any comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

How much RAM do you have ?

And is the stopping occurring with Direct mode set to off ?

I'm maxed out at 16 gb ram. I keep 12 gb available to A+. but direct mode was checked on as it has been on all previous versions. Tonight I will turn off direct mode and advise result.

 

Thanks.

is anyone else having constant itunes crashes? 11.0.3 with A+.

Yes, constant crashes for me too after upgrading to v1.5. Sometime just by clicking to play a song within iTunes! Not sure whether that is related to importing songs / ripping CDs with XLD which I've been doing more recently too.

 

In addition, looking forward to v1.5.1 since I can't import DSD either.

[REShaman]

For the record, Audirvana Plus in Playlist mode, mode 1, Integer mode, DSD 64/128 plays perfectly. Prefer this configuration for the best listening configuration for my newly upgraded W4S Dac2SE. Thank you, Damien.

 

Best,

Richard

My guess is that maybe it's something related to sample rate changes. The only way I could force the crash was using itunes and jriver. I leave itunes open for library changes and playback duties goes for JRiver. When playing a track with 96khz after playing one with 44, iTunes crashes.

 

I re-installed iTunes and repaired osx permissions. Haven't tested just yet. Lets see how it goes.

I concur that the sample rate changes may be triggering the crashes with iTunes opened. I learned this from another software player designer who spend considerable time sorting it out. His conclusion at least for his player was to set the system sound to built in output and change the preference file for output in the player to the output being used, in my case, a W4S Dac2SE. I have had no crashes since following those steps. Excuse me Damien for these suggestions without checking with you first. Anything I have thus written that is not useful, please address. I mean to support not hinder.

Best,

Richard

I, too, have had the exact problem. I was reluctant to say anything as I figured I might be doing something wrong and these things usually work out. Whether in integrated or non-integrated mode, it plays a few seconds then stops, just as described above. Nothing changed as to hardware. The last beta was working great. Have tried reboots, permission repairs, everything I could think of or has been recommended previously to no avail.

My crashes occur no matter what format I play including DSD and or the native or upsampled frequency. It occurs whether or not Itunes is open or closed. BTY I have not updated to latest version of Itunes so I know that is not the problem. I have closed and restarted all programs, changed USB ports, changed output to FW and even used the internal MB Pro speakers. Nothing plays. This MUST be an A+ issue (maybe??).

I'm greatly interested in getting the crash log, Debug Info, and any other details you may have to help me understand what is happening on your system. Please send them using the contact form on audirvana dot com.
