Q: Why "smooth fade when stopping" is not effective in WASAPI?

[butty]

it stops immediately.

[Steven]

in that case could you run this debug version and send me the latest entries in the error log

here you are:
2013/11/23 6:12:15 - stop close=True,fade=True,hardstop=True,save state=Paused,is plugin=False,output=Wasapi
2013/11/23 6:12:15 - close handle=-1342177279,ramp down=False,dec=False,in mix=True

[Steven]

there is 2 reasons - the player is paused when you do this (do you agree?)
and secondly, the function is being instructed to stop immediately. That would happen if your test was to shut-down musicbee while it is playing for example. So can you describe what steps you are doing?

Yes, actually I have paused instead of stopping.
The steps:
1. Pressed the pause button on MB.
2. After that, quitted MB because the log is not flushed until it.

Would you inspect my settings file?

[Steven]

so you are testing the feature with pausing not stopping then?

i think for pause you are right and i will look to fix that

Sorry for not having mentioned it. But, for stopping, the same problem occurs.

And here are the logs when stopping:
2013/11/23 6:45:06 - stop close=True,fade=True,hardstop=False,save state=Playing,is plugin=False,output=Wasapi
2013/11/23 6:45:06 - close handle=-1342177279,ramp down=True,dec=False,in mix=True

I tested with the test version with stopping. Yes, it did fade for a long time.

I do agree it doesnt appear to be a smooth fade and tends to accelerate down more near the end. I'm not sure i have any control over that. I will have a quick look but i dont want to spend much time on this. I have also increased the fade period to 0.6 secs for pausing

[butty]

Okay, thank you for the efforts.

[butty]

I'm sorry.
This reply is wrong.

The "smooth fade when stopping" is not effective when WASAPI is used.
I have accidentally used DirectSound and misunderstood.

Hi, I've found the reason of this problem!

When "use logarithmic volume scaling" is on, "smooth fade when stopping" is not effective.
So, for now, I turned off the logarithmic volume. I'd be happy if you fix this problem.

Thanks in advance.
