QAudioDeviceInfo::availableDevices crashes in debug mode
-
Hello,
The static method QAudioDeviceInfo::availableDevices(QAudio::AudioOutput) crashes in debug mode for MinGW on Windows 7.
Kit: Desktop Qt 5.5.0 MinGW 32 bit
Compiler: MinGW 4.9.2 32bit
Debugger: GNU gdb 7.8 for MinGW 4.9.2 32bit
Qt version: Qt 5.5.0 MinGW 32 bitOS: Windows 7 Professional 64 bits
It does not crash in release mode.
The problem appeared when I have installed a driver for a Voice Modem: USR5637Voice64bit.EXE.
I have uninstalled this driver, and the problem is remained.I have reinstalled Qt 5.5.0, and the problem is still there.
Thanks for helping.

Hi,
Can you get a stack trace of that crash ?

Hello,
The problem occurs in this method:
void BroadcastThread::CreateAudioOutput() { SysLog *pSysLog = MySysLog::Instance(); QString msg; QTextStream stream(&msg); QList<QAudioDeviceInfo> audioOutputDevices = QAudioDeviceInfo::availableDevices(QAudio::AudioOutput);When crashing, I got this back trace:

What code do you have after creating
audioOutputDevices? -
Hi,
Here is the complete method:
void BroadcastThread::CreateAudioOutput() { SysLog *pSysLog = MySysLog::Instance(); QString msg; QTextStream stream(&msg); QList<QAudioDeviceInfo> audioOutputDevices = QAudioDeviceInfo::availableDevices(QAudio::AudioOutput); stream << m_audioName << ": Number of audio ouput devices = <" << audioOutputDevices.size() << ">"; pSysLog->SysLogInfo("BRDC", msg); for(int i=0; i < audioOutputDevices.size(); ++i) { msg.clear(); stream << m_audioName << ": Detecting audio ouput device: <" << audioOutputDevices.at(i).deviceName() << ">"; pSysLog->SysLogInfo("BRDC", msg); } bool isAudioOutputDeviceDetected = false; for(int i=0; i < audioOutputDevices.size(); ++i) { const QAudioDeviceInfo &audioDeviceInfo = audioOutputDevices.at(i); if (audioDeviceInfo.deviceName().startsWith(m_audioName)) { isAudioOutputDeviceDetected = true; msg.clear(); stream << m_audioName << ": Setting audio ouput device: <" << audioDeviceInfo.deviceName() << ">"; pSysLog->SysLogInfo("BRDC", msg); QAudioFormat format; format.setSampleRate(22000); format.setChannelCount(1); format.setSampleSize(16); format.setCodec("audio/pcm"); format.setByteOrder(QAudioFormat::LittleEndian); format.setSampleType(QAudioFormat::UnSignedInt); if (!audioDeviceInfo.isFormatSupported(format)) { msg.clear(); stream << m_audioName << ": Raw audio format not supported by backend, cannot play audio"; pSysLog->SysLogWarning("BRDC", msg); format = audioDeviceInfo.nearestFormat(format); } m_audioOutput.reset(new QAudioOutput(audioDeviceInfo, format), &QAudioOutput::deleteLater); connect(qobject_cast<QAudioOutput *>(m_audioOutput.data()), SIGNAL(stateChanged(QAudio::State)), this, SLOT(onStateChanged(QAudio::State))); break; } } // Validate that the audio output device has been detected if (!isAudioOutputDeviceDetected) { msg.clear(); stream << m_audioName << ": No audio output device name beginning by: <" << m_audioName << ">"; pSysLog->SysLogError("BRDC", msg); } } -
I found the cause of a Qt bug in debug mode only.
This is related to the use of the voice modem "USR5637" from USRobotics.
When plugging the voice modem in the computer, an entry appears in the section “Sound, video and game controllers” of the Windows Device Manager.
The entry name is “Unimodem Half-Duplex Audio Device”.
In order to solve the crashing problem, in debug mode, of the method:
QList<QAudioDeviceInfo> audioOutputDevices = QAudioDeviceInfo::availableDevices(QAudio::AudioOutput);
we have to right-click “Unimodem Half-Duplex Audio Device” and select “Uninstall”.
This is a Qt bug in debug mode because the bug does not exist in release mode.
In the QList returned by the method, there is an element with the name “Modem #0 Line Playback” that makes the method crashing in debug mode.
-
Does it happen only if the device is plugged or also when not present ?
-
@SGaist It happens also when the device is not present.
Once the device has been installed, the entry appears in the Device Manager. If we remove physically the device from the USB port, the entry disappears from the Device Manager but the bug is still there.
There is still an element with the name “Modem #0 Line Playback” in the QList returned by the method.
