Thanks for reporting! That sucks and is weird.

Sorry to say I don't have any meaningful advice right now. I would ask, though: what sample rate / sample sizes were you using? Were settings different across devices? WavTap's still not super-stable in those areas.

I have my output sample rate at 44100 to match how the built-in output is set in Audio MIDI Setup.app. Ableton doesn't have an output depth option - I'm guessing it gets that from the device. The built-in output has 16/20/24-bit integer options and 32 bit float. WavTap shows only 32-bit integer. Wild-ass guessing: maybe having WavTap show up as 16-bit when the default output is 16-bit would help?

I'll try another device (USB) and a new machine over the next week and report back on those.

OK, stupid question: how do I route WavTap's output to my USB device? I see some references in the git history to menu items for selecting routing, but everything related seems to have been removed. I've tried setting the USB device as the default output before loading the kext and starting WavTap.app, but wasn't able to get any output at all. Is this a separate feature that needs to be reimplemented?

(I still have the other, newer machine to test on but need to move my Ableton library over. Will report back on that later.)

@decklin: Yeah, WavTap just routes its output to the device you'd been using when you launched WavTap. That's intentionally not configurable—it's not supposed to be a routing app.

I've tried setting the USB device as the default output before [...] starting WavTap.app

That should do it.

It's possible this is a new bug: if it's still happening, can you list reproduction steps?

[decklin]

I think my USB problem is a separate issue particular to my device; I'll open a separate issue for that.

[decklin]

So far, I am unable to reproduce this on the newer machine. I'll update again next week; I have to return the older machine anyway so if everything is still OK I'll just close this.

[decklin]

Still not reproducible on new hardware; closing.
