Thread: Centrafuse 1.13 Bugs

Installed 1.13 yesterday. I noticed that in Destinator sometimes after resume from standby the triangle showing my position gets lost (the map still updates correctly, navigation works without a problem, just your position is not shown). This happens in 2D, if I switch to 3D view, everything is OK.

i had the same issue, but it wasnt after resuming from standby. it was just when i started CF up

I have made some improvements to the GPS connection in Centrafuse, hopefully this will be fixed in the next update...

I am trying to reproduce this volume issue to fix, but I am unable to make it happen...

What is your soundcard? What are all the volume related settings you have set?

is logarithmic volume enabled?
is use pre as master enabled?
is control rear/sub enabled?
do you have rear/sub channels if it is enabled?
is adjust rear/sub with main enabled?
is front as master enabled?
if so do you have seperate front channels?

Try to change the settings to to help me determine which setting is causing the issue on your system.

The card is a creative audigy LS. I have my sub plugged into the sub/cen channel, and the front/rear amp plugged into the front channel, XM is plugged into line-in. The sound card settings do not sync with the windows control panel, but the sub and front levels go up and down together using main. wav, etc.

I am pretty sure all of those settings are turned off. I will double check later today. I will try and figure out how to reproduce it.

All of those settings are confirmed being off. I uninstalled the volume plugin just to be sure that wasn't it. Findings: it does not do it in hibernation as I thought earlier. It does, however, set the pre and wav levels to 50 after closing and reopening the program as I described earlier. I couldnt find any way to stop it from doing that.

Another BIG issue I just noticed that relates back to the auto switching skin problem after hibernate... before I just got the black bars and it took 20-30 secs to update. Now, the last 2 times I got in the car (reverse of day/night I left it), I get the black bars, and then my monitor looses its connection to the comp. Turning the car off and back on (cycling it in and out of hibernation) brings it back and all is fine. I can also wait ~1 min and it'll resync and be fine.

A final issue I have found over the last few days is phonecontrols inability to close and restart itself if it has an error. I have noticed a few times that phonecontrol will throw an error screen in the background saying it cannot connect or something, but I wont see it until after I close CF. Once I close CF, the red phonecontrol icon is in the taskbar, and to get it running with CF again I have to manually exit phonecontrol from the taskbar. It happens often enough to bother me. It may have to do with the way my pc cycles USB power to the BT dongle, or something...

Couple more SiLabs issues...
When resuming from Hibernate, if I was listening to Media, the song I was listening to comes back, plus the radio -- both playing on top of each other.

Also, I noticed a weird and annoying whine coming from my system when the SiLabs is enabled. It's most notible during quiet passages in songs (mp3's, not radio). Not sure if it happens when just listening to radio.
On a side note, I noticed that the plugin prior to 1.13 CF also had a noise issue but it was more like a static noise floor than an annoying whine. I narrowed it down to the radio, because disabling it made the problem go away.
Using the SiLabs radio util or Streetdeck plugin, I noticed no noise artifacts.

I have noticed with 1.14 that when i resume from hibernation that the radio is paused (the buffer timer is correctly increasing)...

I use the HQCT with CD input line with Single Click...i'm pretty sure all other settings are the default as installed with the 1.14 installer.

-DR

gravyvader i am having the exact same problem as you with the after hibernation thing and that hissing in the background at all times if the silabls is still enabled i can only get it to stop if i exit out of cf or i go to setting changing the radio device to none and back to silabs again. please anybody who knows how to fix this help us cause i am very excited to have radio back in my car again.
