After a while of using VSL synchron player. I have noticed the RAM usage of VSL in task manager drops significantly. This will cause crackling as I'm assuming VSL thinks voices are cached in memory but then needs to go fetch it from the storage when it finds out it doesn't exist.
I use all the mic positions of my VSL Synchron D with a preload size of of 16384 samples. VSL reports that it is taking up around 13.9GB of RAM. I use it within Cakewalk so the RAM usage you see here is a little higher than expected.
After a while of use be that 30 mins or an hour, VSL will suddenly start crackling and this is not because I am loading too many voices at the same time for my computer to handle.
Going into task manager, the RAM usage will now sit at around 5GB, this keeps happening and eventually Cakewalk (with VSL loaded) or the standalone player will dwindle to only around 1-2GB usage.
To solve this:
I have to either restart VSL, or click each mic to disable and re-enable it to "reload it" to memory. The crackling has now stopped occuring.
I have tried contacting VSL through email but absolutely no help was provided to the actual issue, only the classic "have you got the latest version, have you formatted your drive, make sure that no firewall or antivirus software is blocking anything VSL related (?????????).
I am currently using Windows 11 with a Ryzen 5 7500F. If anyone has solutions or ideas please comment
