Graphics sweeping slow - Fixed by reducing audio card acceleration

[flipper]

I downloaded the most recent upgrade for Hoster 2.213 #3

ever since the download I have had customers complain about the graphics sweeping to slow. I have never had any problems with this on prior releases. I went to Nividia and downloaded the latest drivers and downloaded the directx 9.0c. no changes in the sweep.

The manual covers graphics that sweep too fast but not too slow.

Any suggestions?

Flipper,
I have not had any other clients seeing this. What brand of Discs seem to be the ones that are sweeping to slow?

We are working on re-coding the Player code, in the next version 2.214. There have not been any changes to the Player code since version 2.014, I believe.

I noticed this on Soundchoice and Monster Hits. It seemed that it was on almost every disc though.

I have never had any problems with prior releases of hoster. But the comments from customers started the very day that I downloaded the most recent release. I kinda ignored it because many times it is based upon the number of drinks they have had before they begin singing.

Then the other night a fellow KJ was at one of my gigs and he brought it to my attention. It's about 1 to 2 words behind on the sweep.

I checked it out on most of my songs that I sing and it's definately there.

Flipper,

There is a fix for this for those who encounter it.

Go to the tools tab and click PLAYBACK OFFSET.

You should be able to compensate for the sweep variance there.

Hope this does it for you.

I have noticed the sweep being too slow also. It's not real bad but is somewhat frustrating. I am experiencing it pretty much on all brands consistently. I did a test and imported the same songs into microstudio and played them back with no problems. The sweeping was perfect, but in hoster it is a little slower. And George, the playback offset only has settings to slow down the sweeping not speed it up.

The manual depicts a screen shot of the offset with a negative value (which would slow down the lyrics) however trying to enter a negative number results in an error dialog box telling you that you can't do that.

I started a thread on this subject a couple months ago but never got any response.
