MM is unresponsive/fails when you switch Windows playback device
Posted: Wed Sep 30, 2020 9:18 am
When MM4 for Windows is running, if you choose a different playback device in Windows, MM either continues to play the song with no volume or repeats endlessly a very short snippet of the song.
The only way to correct it is to close MM and re-open it.
This issue was reported in 2016 and the user was blown off with "update your audio driver" which is not a solution. This has happened to me over the years on multiple computers, all with up-to-date drivers. It's annoying and no other audio application has a problem when you switch playback devices.
This is clearly a MM bug on knowing it needs to switch, and then switching the Windows device it is sending audio to.
Thanks,
