Re: More Glitches

The HAL only sends overload notifications when it detects them as part of the normal execution of the house keeping code at the end of each IO cycle. The HAL doesn't have any magical insight, so if you are getting glitches without a corresponding overload, it would imply that the glitching isn't related to the time being spent on the IO thread.

In my eternal hunt for the source of audio glitching, I have added the following code to my project to I can get a message on each HAL output processor overload event. However, I'm not getting any messages, even through I hear glitches. Am I doing something wrong in setting up notification or is it possible that the glitches are due to something else?

Here is my code for the callback: msg is a Boolean I set to true for debugging

OSStatus HALOverloadListener(AudioDeviceID inDevice, UInt32 inChannel, Boolean isInput, AudioDevicePropertyID inPropertyID, void *inRefCon)
{
Distributor *output = (Distributor *)inRefCon;

if(msg){
output_map_ptr dp;
string dataStr = "unknown";
// find the output in the output distributer list
pthread_mutex_lock( &oMutex );
for (dp=outputMap.begin(); dp!=outputMap.end(); dp++){
if(&((*dp).second) == output)
dataStr = (*dp).first;
}
pthread_mutex_unlock( &oMutex );
// print message
fprintf(stdout, " MESSAGE: Processor Overload on %s output, bus #%ld.\n", dataStr.c_str(), inChannel);
fprintf(stdout, "ae>");
fflush(stdout);
}
return noErr;
}


Then I register the call back just before AU Initialization deep in my audio setup procedure:

// set up notification of processor overload
err = AudioDeviceAddPropertyListener(devID, 0, FALSE, kAudioDeviceProcessorOverload, HALOverloadListener, this);
if (err)
return false;

// initialize the HALoutput AU
err = AudioUnitInitialize(outHALUnit);
if (err)
return false;

There is NO error when I add the property listener. Any insight would be appreciated!
