Thread: Crew chief killing all other system sound

  1. #1

    Unhappy Crew chief killing all other system sound

    I have been happily using Crew Chief for a few years, but it has reached a point where I am left no option but to uninstall the software if i can't get these issues resolved.

    Firstly, this year the application no longer recognizes anything I say to it no matter how slowly, clearly, or normally I say it. I just get nothing but constant "sorry mate, didn't get that." That was annoying, but I could live with it since I can still manually make settings adjustments, though I would prefer to do them via voice.

    Now, starting last week Crew Chief is randomly causing all system sound except Crew Chief to silence. What generally happens is this:

    1: Running iRacing with Crew Chief, possibly Spotify, Discord and OBS as well
    2: At some random point Crew Chief will come on the radio to say something (sometimes with a little crackling at the beginning of the audio line)
    3: All other audio disappears - iRacing. OBS, Discord, Spotify, everything
    4: Microphone in Discord also stops working
    5: Crew Chief audio continues to work as if nothing happened
    6: Audio on other applications can be reset simply by opening the options and closing (without even changing anything) - Leaving and rejoining Discord servers also usually fixes the dead mic

    I have tried switching to nAudio with no help, and I have even tried uninstalling and reinstalling, though I'm not sure that the program was completely uninstalled as I was not prompted to run any updates after reinstalling.

    This issue has happened enough times now that I can no longer rely on Crew Chief to provide me with functioning audio without running the risk of destroying races (which it has already done multiple times, including one where I had to run 25 minutes of a 30 minute race with absolutely no sound.

    I did just run a practice session in hopes of it failing so I could grab an error log, which it did. Hopefully this can be of assistance of a possible fix because I absolutely love the program when it's functioning properly. Please help! Error Log below:

    The exception in your log shows that the audio output driver has failed - cc can't connect the sound file to the audio output device. The log doesn't help track down issues with speech recognition. I suggest you look at our FAQ - perhaps you need to train your windows speech recognition system using the mic you use for racing.

    It looks like your Corsair headset has some driver issue which is unrelated to cc

    After a few days of testing, this seems to have resolved the issue. Thanks for the help!
