I have seen the same thing with Writelog - turning VAC off and back on in 
PowerSDR gets rid of the problem.

I haven't tried trouble shooting this further but wonder if its because of a 
mismatch in sampling rates between PSDR and the program on the other end of the 
VAC?

Subject: [Flexradio] Voice keyer through PSDR truncates end of audio on output, 
progressive worsening

Hi,

I originally posted a version of this to N1MM's reflector, but further 
troubleshooting points to PowerSDR so I'll continue my quest here.

Environment:
Windows 7 64bit
N1MM Logger V11.6.4
FlexRadio Flex-3000 with PowerSDR 2.0.22 Playback occurs over Virtual Audio 
Cables (VAC) 4.10.0.2537

I want to feed the output of N1MM's voice keyer to PSDR for contesting, and it 
works great, at first. The problem is that something is cutting off my recorded 
wavs about 100ms early and getting progressively worse as I run it.

My problem can be duplicated as follows, assuming a regular contest setup for 
voice on N1MM (using the IARU coming up next weekend
currently)

1. Record to N1MM's voice keyer via shift+ctrl+F1-F12 several wav messages 2. 
Play them as I would in a contest several times, listening to the playback 
through MOX. The first few times, playback is good.
3. After 5-6 playbacks, they start to get truncated at the end more and more, 
and a delay starts to get introduced toward the beginning of playback. 
Eventually the audio is not even playing the final second or two of the 
message, and there's a silence of around 50% of the end truncation length at 
the beginning.

I've tried ruling out VAC as the source of the trouble using its "audio 
repeater" utility. When directing the output of N1MM into the same VAC line and 
connecting that line to a headset output on the repeater, I do not experience 
the problem.

Further, possibly unrelated, observations:

1. When I direct the audio output direct to headphones instead of VAC, the 
delay does not happen either 2. I have tried different sample rates, 44k and 
48k.  While switching sample rate "resets" the problem (probably N1MM resetting 
the audio system), it then proceeds to degrade as time goes forward as before. 
I now suspect that sample rates are a factor, but when they are all set to the 
same thing on N1MM and PowerSDR it seems it should be OK. VAC appears to handle 
a wide range of sample rates automatically so I don't know that it would be the 
factor.
3. I have verified that the wavs play back perfectly outside of n1mm, and also 
have tried recording wavs with audacity, it seems that ANY wav will exhibit 
this behavior whatever its source, but the wav files are of good quality and 
not truncated or corrupt.

Thanks for any help.

73,
AI1P
