Error Youtube and other apps

Post by renanfinal » Tue Dec 20, 2022 7:55 pm

When I open Aerodrums I can't see videos from youtube, or spotify, only the audio from aerodrums works, and youtube just keeps loading the video and doesn't come out of it.

Any way to resolve?

This is related to the audio device that you can select from the Latency screen in Aerodrums. The recommended option is "Exclusive WASAPI". This results in the lowest latency by far but the downside is that Aerodrums needs to take exclusive control over the sound card, thus preventing all other applications from being able to output audio themselves.

You can try switching from the Exclusive WASAPI to the Shared WASAPI option. This will allow other applications to output audio but at the cost of slightly increased latency.

The other option is to stick to Exclusive WASAPI but use the built-in music player to play mp3 files. Of course, this will require you to rip mp3s from YouTube videos, etc. so it is more hassle though there are lots of websites that make this easy.
