Hi All.
I use WaveGene many years, it is a very useful tool. Unfortunately, its development finished 4 years ago the Author does not reply.
I had a problem in the past, them it looks like the problem was disappeared, but now it coming back again.
With other source, there is no this phenomena with the same equipment: USB DAC + USB ADC, (doesn't matter which model, tried at least 2 different ADC, UAC1 and UAC2, and 34 different DACs, all UAC2).
UAC2 ASIO driver for DAC.
Visually, it looks like it skip samples sometimes - spectrogram is jumping and is much higher (see the picture attached).
WaveGene 150E - used it at my previous desktop PC with Win7/32.
Everything was fine at the beginning, but after few year this problem occurs - only at 44/48 sample rate! 88-384 were fine.
After don't remember how many time, the same began at 88/96.
I changed PC, with Win10/64 everything was fine at the beginning, then this happened again.
Few days ago, I worked with a DAC with 192K limit, and this problem happened with samplerates, from 44/1 to 176, after few hours - all samplerates, from 44/1 to 192 were bad!
With another DAC, with 384K limit - all samplerates, from 44/1 to 192 were bad, but 384 works normally.
Yesterday evening, I downloaded an old version - WG140, and it works fine at all samplerates! But, I don't know, how long this fine work will be 🙁
Also I often need WG150, because WG140 is limited to 2 channels only.
I took the old netbook, where WG150 was installed in the past, but was not used many times.
All >88K were fine, 44/48 - problem.
It seems to me, that the problem depends of how long or how many time I use each sample rate.
What is it, WaveGene have a time-bomb ?
Has anyone faced something similar?

Software developers are paid to design software for a variety of digital sources used by the public , the problem is when a firmware upgrade is carried out and software especially in flat screen TV,s which are labelled as "smart " end up no longer "smart " because manufacturers want the public to buy new TV,s not keep old ones going .
I know this for a fact as apart from massive complaints from the UK public I know several software designers aren't paid for upgrades to older digital equipment.
If you have Win10 I would get straight onto check up on Win 11 which apart from not working with old processors wont work unless the built into the motherboard TPM Module is activated, there are also various other faults cropping up.
The problem you have is not unique in digital software design .
Looking at the website it was last upgraded in =2013.

Increase ASIO buffer size. There might be some issues with DPC latency caused by some drivers, software running in background or no longer sufficient CPU performance.
duncan, I understand what you are talking about.

But It doesn't matter, my question was - has anyone seen the same behavior?
WaveSpectra and WaveGene are very popular software, I cannot imagine that I'm a unique guy. 🙂
P.S. Win10 I think is not an issue, because with Win7 on dualcore AMD Athlon it was the same.
I don't know about Win11, but Win10 works perfectly on 8 years old i3 desktop and even 10 years i7 Dell laptop and 10 years dualcore Atom netbook.

Not helps.
Sufficient to generate 384/32 and not sufficient at 44/16?!
WaveGene is only one running program (except the Windows itself, of course).
Problem is gone, when I decreased(!) ASIO buffer from 2K to 1K.
This works from 44.1 to 192, but I don't know how long it will work.
Previously it works even with 8K buffer (maximum).
But why fresh install of WG140, also REW and simple wav-file (playing with Album Player) works perfect with 2-8K ASIO buffer, but old install of WG15E not?
