Vegas Pro Version 22 (Build 93) - Rendering Video - Audio Echo

Tarbee wrote on 8/13/2024, 3:45 PM

I have just moved to a new laptop - a Dell and have installed Vegas Pro version 22 (Build 93) I am having a problem with video audio after I have rendered the video. The audio sounds fine on the time line before I render it but after rendering it has a noticeable echo to it. I have not encountered this issue before and have used Vegas Pro for many years. I do 'Render As' and select typically Internet HD 720p x 25fps and have used other quality settings but to no avail. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

When you hear the echo, what player are you using? Could the player be adding an effect?

If you start a new Vegas project and put your newly rendered video alone into your project, do you hear an echo?

I was using the VLC player and the 'stereo widener' was ticked, and this was causing the echo - so fixed by turning it off! Thank you very much for your input and solution bvideo, very much appreciated!

@Tarbee

In Vegas Preferences, select the dedicated ASIO driver for your primary record/playback Audio Device.

Please do not use the default, usually Microsoft Sound Mapper, as it is the "kitdhen sink" of I/O drivers, with the predictable amount of garbage.

@mark-y Please explain what you mean by "predictable amount of garbage".

@EricLNZ

I meant crosstalk from other open audio devices. His initial description of echo reminded me of that, where a duplex ASIO device is dedicated, and generally has lower latency. For a while, I got an echo from a CD Audio player when Mapper was selected.
