The Windows menu animations can create discontinuities in sound. To resolve the problem download and install: Microsoft TweakUI . Install, then from the Control Panel, select Tweakui/general/effects, and unselect ALL Windows animations!!!
This usually happens when the driver for your video card doesn't support OpenGL correctly. Please make sure that you have the most recent drivers by visiting your video card manufacturer's website.
Please note that Bidule requires a properly working OpenGL driver. To test your current configuration for OpenGL, please download and try the two following tests (in order):
If these two tests are working, there are good chances that Bidule will!Bidule works best with any nVidia or ATI Radeon chipsets. Microsoft's default software rendering works fine too.
ATI128, 3Dfx Voodoo3, S3 Savage have OK OpenGL drivers.
Many problems were encountered using Matrox cards. Use with caution.
Also, some people experiencing weird crashes at Bidule startup had to update to DirectX 8.1 to solve them.
In any case, please report crashes. We are trying to find a solution to this.
Other: OpenGl info software.
It might seems that the display of the patchbay is really slow. This might occur if your display settings (resolution and colour depth) aren't supported by the OpenGL implementation of your video card driver and the display rendering is then done in software instead of using your video card.
If all this fails, please send us the bidule.log file that was created by Bidule at the moment of the crash.
