PortAudio and Scope

I have been trying to use something that uses PortAudio and I kept getting errors.

Remembered something about Scope not liking it. Looked around the forum here and saw references to this being an issue.

1) Can anyone confirm? Does Scope and PortAudio not work?
2) Any workarounds?

Thanks

Hi, I downloaded the source for portaudio on Windows, I couldn't find the workaround in a local portaudio build such that it would ignore unsupported sample rates.

My thinking was to build a portaudio.dll that worked with Scope ASIO. Put my scope-enabled portaudio build in c:\windows\system32, such that portaudio apps would find those library functions ahead of the application's build...

But my C++ skills are 20 years old. Maybe someone else would be more successful...

Hey yaron, yeah I reckon it would, but would need some magic strings in the code , if (SCOPE) { .. }

It appears that scope asio advertises a range of sample rates that it cannot actually support..

Seems a bit too much trouble to go through for what I was trying to do, I will just look for another way that doesn't need Port Audio

You are probably aware, but stay off win 10 and you will most likely have less problems finding alternatives.

Too late :) Grabbed win10 a couple of months ago, its actually performing very nice with everything for me.
