Audio Temporarily Drops out When VEGAS Loads "Realtek ASIO Driver"

Someone- wrote on 11/28/2024, 11:51 AM

Hello, can anyone explain me please, why VP22 start-up breaks the PC's internet connection for 0.1 second?

I meant, if you're listening music, or watching something on YT in the browser, everything just stop working when VP22 starting up. Connection error appears, and I need to refresh the page to fix it.

VP22 full version (not Steam based). Windows 11.

Thanks!

Every version of Vegas since 18 phones home at startup to check its product registration status.

Unless it's recently changed my understanding was that Vegas only phones home periodically, not at every start up.

As for a 0.1 second internet disruption I cannot recall this ever being mentioned by any other user. Perhaps unique to Someone-'s system or browser/internet connection?

It could be Vegas connecting to the GPU on startup and knocking out GPU decode causing an apparent disconnection error, if using chrome type chrome://flags/ search for decoder, disable and restart Chrome, then play the YT video and restart Vegas, see if problem has gone away. If that is the cause, I don't know why that's happening, Try removing GPU drivers with DDU and reinstalling

I offer that possibility because I don't know how Vegas would be knocking out your internet although if either is happening it's strange.

Tried, still the same.

Upd: It's not my connection, it happens even if I watch any clip or listen any music on my PC. Even without the connection. Looks like it happens when Vegas checking GPU acceleration?

UPD:

I've recorded desktop with playing music in background. And it stops exactly at the moment of VP22 starting up at "ASIO driver Realtek ASIO".

Guess glitch in my sound driver?

But if so, why I have the connection error in browser in the same time...

Yep, I see this all the time if YT is playing when I open VP.

And it stops exactly at the moment of VP22 starting up at "ASIO driver Realtek ASIO".

Just tried this out of curiosity since a lot of the times, I'm streaming music. And sorry to report, there is no drop in the stream on my computer.

So I decided to start both VP21 and VP22. The music didn't miss a beat.

@Gid playing back YT music videos and nothing happening. It loads quite quickly on my computer so I can't even see the ASIO driver being installed. But as far as I know, I haven't installed or assigned anything special for the ASIO.

Yes, this exactly! Any idea why it happens?

Oh, you have two devices using the same audio driver AHA!

In Vegas, go to Options->Preferences->Audio and select a different driver, Microsoft Mapper is one example, Save, Close and Restart Vegas.

Feel free to mark one of the suggestions as The Solution, if you wish. ;?)

Just tried, still have same issue no matter what audio device chosen.

@Someone- You didn't mention much about your system like the motherboard or computer manufacturer but some vendors like Asus bundle A-Volute and/or Nahmic audio software with their Realtek driver installs which tends to call home and cause other problems. You can usually spot it by looking at installed apps in Windows and uninstall just the rogues.

Another possibility is a conflict with video drivers that try to preempt audio drivers with their own. When installing Nvidia drivers, I always do a driver-only Custom (Advanced) install and uncheck all the option boxes, particularly HD Audio Driver. If they're already in place, I think you also need to check the clean-install option to blast them.

I have MSI PRO Z790-A MAX WIFI motherboard.

Only Nvidia driver without HD audio.

Issue is still here :(

@Someone- I have Asus motherboards myself and their Realtek issues are probably worse. But I see allot of chatter on the MSI forums about Realtek problems. And references to this pdf from MSI:

My own personal solution is to not use Realtek devices for anything important. I use external usb audio instead. I've had great success with Focusrite 4-channel on my laptop; their Scarletts are economically priced with the Clarett's a moderate step up. But better multichannel functionality with more costly RMEs which work very well with Vegas.

I have a z690 Tomahawk motherboard (ALC4080) and I do see VEGAS briefly taking control of the audio driver while it loads when certain audio devices are used (try an ASIO driver?).

It isn't breaking the internet connection but fighting over the audio. Once VEGAS loads they work together without issue. No Nahimic here.

For clarity, so users can more easily help you identify your problem, I'm going to edit the thread title to better reflect the cause of your issue.

Steve_Rhoden wrote on 12/3/2024, 9:49 AM

Yeah, that's a better title to adjust it to. Seeing that its definitely a battle over getting access to the Audio driver.
