Audio File In sometimes fails to play sound correctly

Bugs
1

Hi,
I’m running a system that plays background music continuously for over a day using an Audio File In CHOP.
Occasionally, the sound stops playing correctly — it becomes silent.
I haven’t identified a clear trigger for when this happens.

When this issue occurs, the following behaviors are observed:

  • Copying the affected Audio File In CHOP, or reloading the same .wav file, immediately restores normal playback.

  • In the Info CHOP referencing the problematic Audio File In, I can see that the sample and fraction values stop updating each frame.

In the video below, two Audio File In CHOPs are captured:

  • audiofilein1 → the one that stopped outputting sound correctly

  • audiofilein2 → a direct copy of audiofilein1, which plays normally

Here are the parameters I’m using for the Audio File In:

Has anyone experienced similar behavior or found an effective workaround to prevent this issue?

Environment

  • TouchDesigner Version: 2023.12000

  • OS: Windows 11

Thanks!
