"UnspecifiedError calling waveOutOpen"

[tgiachi]

Hello!,
When I play mp3 , Randomically throw this error

UnspecifiedError calling waveOutOpen

[markheath]

This error comes from the soundcard driver itself. Are you making sure you close any previously opened WaveOut instances? Also, is there anything unusual about the sample rate or channel count of the files that won't play?

[tgiachi]

Yes, all instances are closed/disposed!. but maybe is corrupted mp3? With VLC is files are ok!

It's possibile to enable verbose debug on NAudio? Only for know where is the problem! Thanks Mark, you have done great library 😄

[markheath]

there isn't a verbose debug setting, your error is coming from a call to the waveOutOpen API. Most useful thing you can do is look at the WaveFormat of the stream that you are initializing your WaveOut instance with. Maybe there is something strange about it.

I am using naudio to play audio files and is working fine. But I have a scenario where I am depositing an app on a Windows VM - and connected to it via MS RDP. I connect with audio being sent to system that the RDP is done one (i.e. client of VM). Audio will not play on client system and getting the
naudio BadDeviceId calling waveOutOpen
error in event viewer

Should it be possible to run this scenario and get audio playback on local system?

Note: I play the audio manually and comes across ok - so file is a good audio file
