📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds Windows system-audio output selection and level monitoring. It also adds independent right-click cursor effects across editor settings, persistence, playback, previews, and export.

Changes

System audio output selection and capture

Layer / File(s) Summary
Recording contracts and preferences
electron/electron-env.d.ts, electron/ipc/settings/*, electron/ipc/register/*, electron/ipc/types.ts
Recording options and preferences now store system audio device identifiers and names. Windows IPC can enumerate active audio outputs.
Native device enumeration and capture selection
electron/native/wgc-capture/*, electron/native/windows-capture/*
Windows helpers enumerate render devices and select loopback capture endpoints by identifier or name, with default-device fallback.
Native level monitoring and IPC
electron/native/wgc-capture/src/audio_level_monitor.*, electron/ipc/audioOutputMonitor.*, electron/ipc/handlers.ts, electron/preload.ts, scripts/*, vitest.config.ts
A Windows helper emits per-device audio levels. Electron validates, broadcasts, starts, and stops monitoring through IPC.
Output selection and launch controls
src/hooks/audioOutputDevices.ts, src/hooks/useAudioOutputLevels.ts, src/hooks/useScreenRecorder.ts, src/components/launch/*, src/i18n/locales/*/launch.json
The launch UI lists output devices, persists selections, displays levels, and provides a dedicated system-audio popover with localized text.

Right-click cursor effects

Layer / File(s) Summary
Effect contracts, state, and persistence
src/components/video-editor/types.ts, src/components/video-editor/state/*, src/components/video-editor/editorPreferences.ts, src/components/video-editor/projectPersistence*, src/components/video-editor/SettingsPanel.tsx
The editor stores an optional right-click effect profile, normalizes it, supports left/right target selection, and falls back to the left-click profile when no right-click profile exists.
Preview and cursor rendering
src/components/video-editor/VideoPlayback.tsx, src/components/video-editor/videoPlayback/cursorRenderer.ts
Preview playback passes the right-click profile to the cursor overlay. Rendering resolves the profile from the interaction type for both Pixi and canvas paths.
Thumbnail and video export wiring
src/components/video-editor/export/*, src/components/video-editor/layout/*, src/components/video-editor/project/*, src/lib/exporter/*
Project thumbnails, GIF export, modern video export, and native static-layout checks carry the right-click profile.
Effect localization
src/i18n/locales/*/settings.json
Settings locales add labels for click targets, left and right clicks, and left-click fallback behavior.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 454d8

Selected system audio can be captured from the wrong output in stale-device cases, while several new controls can display or persist incorrect state. These defects should be resolved before merge.

In `@electron/ipc/audioOutputMonitor.ts`:
- Around line 153-177: Update the monitor lifecycle around start and stop to
serialize startup with a shared in-flight promise, preserving the singleton and
idempotent behavior. Ensure overlapping start calls reuse the same startup
operation, and make stop await that operation before deciding whether
monitorProcess is absent so cleanup cannot race with helper creation. Add
coverage for overlapping start calls and for stop invoked during startup.

In `@electron/native/wgc-capture/src/audio_level_monitor.cpp`:
- Around line 306-308: Before creating the stdin thread in the audio level
monitor startup flow, validate that the monitors collection is non-empty after
endpoint initialization; if no monitor initialized, uninitialize COM when
shouldUninitialize is set and return failure instead of continuing.
- Around line 193-199: Update the WASAPI initialization flow around
monitor.audioClient->Initialize to retrieve the actual buffer size with
GetBufferSize and base the capture polling interval on that allocated duration,
ensuring the loop drains IAudioCaptureClient before the buffer can overrun
instead of always waiting 50 ms.

In `@electron/native/windows-capture/src/wasapi_loopback.cpp`:
- Around line 88-90: Update the device-selection logic around the name-matching
condition to reject empty device names, collect all matching endpoints instead
of returning the first match, and return nullptr when multiple friendly names
match; preserve the existing behavior for exactly one valid match and release
the device collection on every exit path.

In `@src/hooks/audioOutputDevices.ts`:
- Around line 180-184: Update the loadDevices function to track a monotonically
increasing request generation, capturing the generation when each load starts
and committing outputs only when the component remains mounted and that
generation is still current. Keep the existing mounted guard and
setDevices(outputs) behavior for the latest completed request.

Serialize monitor startup and cleanup.

start() checks monitorProcess before access() completes. Overlapping calls can both see null and spawn separate helpers. If stop() runs during that wait, it returns success before a process exists, and the pending start() can spawn an orphan helper after cleanup.

Keep the singleton, idempotent contract. Serialize startup with a shared promise, and make stop() wait for an in-flight startup before deciding that no process exists. Add coverage for overlapping start and stop calls.

Microsoft WASAPI shared mode capture buffer hnsBufferDuration polling interval overrun IAudioCaptureClient GetNextPacketSize

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
In WASAPI shared mode, the capture buffer overrun and polling interval management are governed by how the client processes the endpoint buffer [1][2]. 1. Buffer Duration (hnsBufferDuration): When using event-driven buffering in shared mode, Microsoft documentation explicitly states that you must set both hnsPeriodicity and hnsBufferDuration to 0 [3][4]. Setting non-zero values for hnsBufferDuration in this mode is often cited as incorrect, as the system determines the buffer size based on the audio engine&#39;s scheduling period [4][5]. For shared-mode streams, the buffer acts as a single reservoir; if your processing thread falls behind, the buffer can overflow if it lacks sufficient capacity, resulting in data loss [2]. 2. Polling and GetNextPacketSize: In shared mode, you do not "poll" in the traditional sense if you are using event-driven mode (the preferred approach), as the system signals an event when data is ready [3][4]. If you choose to poll manually, you can use IAudioCaptureClient::GetNextPacketSize or IAudioClient::GetCurrentPadding [1][6]. These two methods are equivalent for shared-mode capture: they inform you of the size of the next available packet [6]. 3. Avoiding Overruns: - Use Event-Driven Buffering: Always prefer using AUDCLNT_STREAMFLAGS_EVENTCALLBACK. This ensures your thread is synchronized with the audio engine&#39;s processing period, significantly reducing the risk of overruns compared to manual polling [3][4]. - Efficient Processing: When the event is signaled, you must read all available data packets by calling IAudioCaptureClient::GetBuffer and IAudioCaptureClient::ReleaseBuffer repeatedly until GetNextPacketSize reports 0 or GetBuffer returns AUDCLNT_S_BUFFEREMPTY [1][7]. - Minimize Latency: Excessive delays between GetBuffer and ReleaseBuffer can cause the engine to perceive the client as having missed its processing window, potentially leading to data loss or glitches [7]. If you are encountering overruns, ensure your processing loop is prioritized correctly and that it consumes the entirety of the available data in the buffer during each wake-up interval [7][2]. Do not attempt to force a specific buffer size via hnsBufferDuration in shared event-driven mode, as this parameter is ignored or misapplied in that context [3][4][5].

<title>Result 1</title> https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/coreaudio/capturing-a-stream The client calls the methods in the **IAudioCaptureClient** interface to read captured data from an endpoint buffer. The client shares the endpoint buffer with the audio engine in shared mode and with the audio device in exclusive mode. To request an endpoint buffer of a particular size, the client calls the **IAudioClient::Initialize** method. To get the size of the allocated buffer, which might be different from the requested size, the client calls the **IAudioClient::GetBufferSize** method. To move a stream of captured data through the endpoint buffer, the client alternately calls the **IAudioCaptureClient::GetBuffer** method and the **IAudioCaptureClient::ReleaseBuffer** method. The client accesses the data in the endpoint buffer as a series of data packets. The **GetBuffer** call retrieves the next packet of captured data from the buffer. After reading the data from the packet, the client calls **ReleaseBuffer** to release the packet and make it available for more captured data. The packet size can vary from one **GetBuffer** call to the next. Before calling **GetBuffer**, the client has the option of calling the **IAudioCaptureClient::GetNextPacketSize** method to get the size of the next packet in advance. In addition, the client can call the **IAudioClient::GetCurrentPadding** method to get the total amount of captured data that is available in the buffer. At any instant, the packet size is always less than or equal to the total amount of captured data in the buffer. During each processing pass, the client has the option of processing the captured data in one of the following ways: - The client alternately calls **GetBuffer** and **ReleaseBuffer**, reading one packet with each pair of calls, until **GetBuffer** returns AUDCNT\_S\_BUFFEREMPTY, indicating that the buffer is empty. - The client calls **GetNextPacketSize** before each pair of calls to **GetBuffer** and **ReleaseBuffer** until **GetNextPacketSize** reports a packet size of 0, indicating that the buffer is empty. The two techniques yield equivalent results. The following code example shows how to record an audio stream from the default capture device: ```C //----------------------------------------------------------- // Record an audio stream from the default audio capture // device. The ... AudioStream function ... // ... second of PCM ... . // The function uses this buffer to ... from the // ... device. The main ... runs every 1/ ... second. ... hr; REFERENCE ...

EXIT_ON_ERROR(hr) // Each loop fills about half of the shared buffer. while (bDone == FALSE) { // Sleep for half the buffer duration. Sleep(hnsActualDuration/REFTIMES_PER_MILLISEC/2); hr = pCaptureClient->GetNextPacketSize(&packetLength); EXIT_ON_ERROR(hr) while (packetLength != 0) { // Get the available data in the shared buffer. hr = pCaptureClient->GetBuffer( &pData, &numFramesAvailable, &flags, NULL, NULL); EXIT_ON_ERROR(hr) ... if (flags & AUDCLNT_BUFFERFLAGS_SILENT) { ... pData = NULL; // Tell CopyData to write silence. } ... // Copy the available capture data to the audio sink. hr = pMySink->CopyData( pData, numFramesAvailable, &bDone); EXIT_ON_ERROR(hr) hr = pCaptureClient->ReleaseBuffer(numFramesAvailable); EXIT_ON_ERROR(hr) hr = pCaptureClient->GetNextPacketSize(…[truncated] <title>hnsbufferduration parameter in iaudioclient:: initialize method - Microsoft Q&A</title> https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/687050/hnsbufferduration-parameter-in-iaudioclient-initia In the iaudioclient:: initialize method, the third parameter is hnsbufferduration. In the explanation of Microsoft documents, this parameter contains the buffer size requested by the caller. If the iaudioclient:: initialize method is called successfully, the system will allocate a buffer of at least this size.(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/audioclient/nf-audioclient-iaudioclient-initialize) ... 1. For the rendering device, when calling the iaudioclient:: initialize method, set the hnsbufferduration to 100 * 10000 (i.e. the buffer size is 100ms), and set the hnsperiodicity parameter to 0 (which means that the default period is 10ms). Does that mean that I must fill the 100ms buffer to play the sound from the speaker? Or does the system play the data in the rendering buffer from the speaker device every 10ms?Because I will receive the system event notification every 10ms. At this time, I will call the iaudiorenderclient:: getbuffer method to insert 10ms of data into the buffer. So I want to know when the speaker will really play sound? Do you need to fill all the buffers set by hnsbufferduration (or reach a certain amount) before playing through the speaker device. ... 2. For the capture device, when calling the iaudioclient:: initialize method, set the hnsbufferduration to 100 * 10000 (i.e. the buffer size is 100ms), and set the hnsperiodicity parameter to 0 (which means that the default period is 10ms). Does it mean that this buffer can help me cache the next 100ms of data at most?For example, under normal circumstances, I should have received the system event notification for each 10ms, then called IAudioCaptureClient:: GetBuffer to get the data collected by the microphone. If my thread gets stuck during this period and calls iaudiocaptureclient:: getbuffer after 60ms, does the capture buffer help me save all the data in the past 60ms? ... Sorry to keep you waiting.

See: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/issues/8064 As a potentially mitigating factor, we let wasapi deal with resampling and channel mixing by enabling some AUDCLNT_STREAMFLAGS. The sdk specifies also that: `For a shared-mode stream that uses event-driven buffering, the caller must set both hnsPeriodicity and hnsBufferDuration to 0.` hnsBufferDuration was non-zero so we set it to 0. **Sidenote:** Windows sdk sample is clearly wrong and doesn&`#39`;t follow its own SDK. 🙃 Firstly, it passes AUDCLNT_STREAMFLAGS_AUTOCONVERTPCM as hnsPeriodicity; secondly, it sets a non-zero hnsBufferDuration although the code uses AUDCLNT_SHAREMODE_SHARED & AUDCLNT_STREAMFLAGS_EVENTCALLBACK (which imply event-driven buffering in shared mode).

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
In WASAPI, when a client application fails to read from the capture endpoint buffer fast enough, the audio engine’s buffer can overrun. This state is formally detected by the AUDCLNT_BUFFERFLAGS_DATA_DISCONTINUITY flag, which is returned by the IAudioCaptureClient::GetBuffer method [1][2]. This flag indicates that the captured data in the packet is not correlated with the device position of the previous packet, typically signifying a timing glitch or a loss of data caused by the client&#39;s failure to keep up with the audio stream [2][3]. To prevent this issue and manage buffer processing effectively, adhere to the following technical practices: 1. Process All Available Data: Do not assume a one-to-one relationship between processing cycles and packets [4]. Because the audio engine may accumulate audio data in multiple packets or chunks, your processing loop should continue to call GetNextPacketSize and process all available packets until none remain during every execution of your buffer-processing thread [4][5]. 2. Maintain Real-Time Performance: Clients must avoid excessive delays between acquiring a packet with GetBuffer and releasing it with ReleaseBuffer [6]. The audio engine expects these calls to occur within the same buffer-processing period; failing to release the packet promptly increases the risk of data loss [6]. 3. Utilize Event-Driven Buffering: For improved responsiveness and to minimize the risk of underruns or overruns, use AUDCLNT_STREAMFLAGS_EVENTCALLBACK when initializing the stream [7]. This allows the audio engine to signal an event handle whenever a buffer is ready, helping the client remain synchronized with the hardware [7]. 4. Handle Buffer Errors: If GetBuffer returns AUDCLNT_E_BUFFER_ERROR (specifically in exclusive mode), it indicates that a packet was not available [1]. In such cases, the client thread should wait for the next processing interval [1]. If errors persist, it may be necessary to stop and reset the client to restore stability [1]. By ensuring the consumption thread is prioritized to run within the required processing period and by draining the buffer completely in each pass, you can effectively mitigate discontinuities caused by client-side latency [6][4][5].

This method retrieves the next data packet from the capture endpoint buffer. At a particular time, the buffer might contain zero, one, or more packets that are ready to read. Typically, a buffer-processing thread that reads data from a capture endpoint buffer reads all of the available packets each time the thread executes. ... During processing of an audio capture stream, the client application alternately calls GetBuffer and the IAudioCaptureClient::ReleaseBuffer method. The client can read no more than a single data packet with each GetBuffer call. Following each GetBuffer call, the client must call ReleaseBuffer to release the packet before the client can call GetBuffer again to get the next packet. ...

Clients should avoid excessive delays between the GetBuffer call that acquires a packet and the ReleaseBuffer call that releases the packet. The implementation of the audio engine assumes that the GetBuffer call and the corresponding ReleaseBuffer call occur within the same buffer-processing period. Clients that delay releasing a packet for more than one period risk losing sample data. ... In Windows 7 and later, GetBuffer can return the AUDCLNT_E_BUFFER_ERROR error code for an audio client that uses the endpoint buffer in the exclusive mode.

In principle it works correctly, but it breaks whenever I try to debug it, after continuing from a breakpoint. I can reproduce this in Windows&`#39`; own example code: I&`#39`;m using the CaptureSharedEventDriven sample. Then I followed the instructions to change this demo to use loopback, which is simply: - Change`eCapture` to`eRender` in GetDefaultAudioEndpoint - Change`eCapture` to`eRender` in EnumAudioEndpoints - Add`AUDCLNT_STREAMFLAGS_LOOPBACK` to IAudioClient::Initialize call This now correctly captures the audio output. However, when I breakpoint at the end of`CWASAPICapture::Start(...)`(line 262 in the sample) and then continue, the capture turns into rubbish from then onwards. The captured audio shows discontinuities every 1056 samples (this is also the buffer size of the IAudioClient) and misses 384 samples every iteration. I can prove this by adding the following debug code: ``` [WASAPICapture.cpp, line 358] hr = _CaptureClient->GetBuffer(&pData, &framesAvailable, &flags, NULL, NULL); if (SUCCEEDED(hr)) { UINT32 framesToCopy = min(framesAvailable, static_cast<UINT32>((_CaptureBufferSize - _CurrentCaptureIndex) / _FrameSize)); if (framesToCopy != 0) { // // Adding this in order to trace the output issue: // if (flags & AUDCLNT_BUFFERFLAGS_DATA_DISCONTINUITY) { printf("Discontinuity detected, writing %d samples\n", framesAvailable); } else { printf("Correct render, writing %d samples\n", framesAvailable); } ``` After hitting the breakpoint, for the rest of the capture the output will now be: ``` Discontinuity detected, writing 480 samples Correct render, writing 480 samples Discontinuity detected, writing 96 samples Discontinuity detected, writing 480 samples Correct render, writing 480 samples Discontinuity detected, writing 96 samples Correct render, writing 480 samples Correct render, writing 480 samples Discontinuity detected, writing 96 samples etc... ``` How do I make WASAPI recover from this error? 3 comments Hide comments for this question Same question Report Xiaopo Yang - MSFT 12,736 Reputation points Microsoft External Staff 2023-03-13T02:59:28.5466667+00:00 Cannot reproduce.

The client shares the endpoint buffer with the audio engine in shared mode and with the audio device in exclusive mode. To request an endpoint buffer of a particular size, the client calls the **IAudioClient::Initialize** method. To get the size of the allocated buffer, which might be different from the requested size, the client calls the **IAudioClient::GetBufferSize** method. To move a stream of captured data through the endpoint buffer, the client alternately calls the **IAudioCaptureClient::GetBuffer** method and the **IAudioCaptureClient::ReleaseBuffer** method. The client accesses the data in the endpoint buffer as a series of data packets. The **GetBuffer** call retrieves the next packet of captured data from the buffer. After reading the data from the packet, the client calls **ReleaseBuffer** to release the packet and make it available for more captured data. The packet size can vary from one **GetBuffer** call to the next. Before calling **GetBuffer**, the client has the option of calling the **IAudioCaptureClient::GetNextPacketSize** method to get the size of the next packet in advance. In addition, the client can call the **IAudioClient::GetCurrentPadding** method to get the total amount of captured data that is available in the buffer. At any instant, the packet size is always less than or equal to the total amount of captured data in the buffer. During each processing pass, the client has the option of processing the captured data in one of the following ways: - The client alternately calls **GetBuffer** and **ReleaseBuffer**, reading one packet with each pair of calls, until **GetBuffer** returns AUDCNT\_S\_BUFFEREMPTY, indicating that the buffer is empty. - The client calls **GetNextPacketSize** before each pair of calls to **GetBuffer** and **ReleaseBuffer** until **GetNextPacketSize** reports a packet size of 0, indicating that the buffer is empty. The two techniques yield equivalent results. The following code example shows how to record an audio stream from the default capture device: ```C //----------------------------------------------------------- // Record an audio stream from the ... audio capture // device. The ... AudioStream function allocates a ... // buffer big enough to hold one second of PCM ... . // The ... uses this buffer ... from the // ... loop runs every ... second. ... //------------------------------------------------ ... , ... // Each loop fills about half of the shared buffer. while (bDone == FALSE) { // Sleep for half the buffer duration. Sleep(hnsActualDuration/REFTIMES_PER_MILLISEC/2); hr = pCaptureClient->GetNextPacketSize(&packetLength); EXIT_ON_ERROR(hr) while (packetLength != 0) { // Get the available data in the shared buffer. hr = pCaptureClient->GetBuffer( &pData, &numFramesAvailable, &flags, NULL, NULL); EXIT_ON_ERROR(hr) if (flags & AUDCLNT_BUFFERFLAGS_SILENT) { pData = NULL; // Tell CopyData to write silence. } // Copy the available capture data to the audio sink. hr = pMySink->CopyData( pData, numFramesAvailable, &bDone); EXIT_ON_ERROR(hr) hr = pCaptureClient->ReleaseBuffer(numFramesAvailable); EXIT_ON_ERROR(hr) hr = pCaptureClient->GetNextPacketSize(&packetLength); EXIT_ON_ERROR(hr) } } hr = pAudioClient->Stop(); // Stop recording. EXIT_ON_ERROR( ... ``` In the preceding example, the RecordAudioStream function takes a single parameter, `pMySink`, which is a pointer to an object that belongs to a client-defined class, MyAudioSink, with two functions, CopyData and SetFormat. The example code does not include the implementation of MyAudioSink because: - None of the class members communicates directly with any of the methods in the interfaces in WASAPI. - The class could be implemented in a variety of ways, depending on the requirements of the client. (For example, it might write the capture data to a …[truncated]

Poll before the allocated WASAPI buffer fills. Shared-mode WASAPI may allocate only the requested 20 ms buffer or another size. The loop then waits 50 ms before draining IAudioCaptureClient. If the allocated buffer is shorter than 50 ms, it can overrun and report discontinuities or lose samples. Call GetBufferSize and poll before the allocated buffer fills, or use event-driven capture where supported.

Fail when no output monitor initializes.

If every endpoint fails initializeMonitorDevice, monitors is empty. The helper then stays alive, emits no AUDIO_LEVEL events, and eventually returns success.

Return a failure before starting the stdin thread.

Reject empty and ambiguous device-name matches.

targetName.find(name) matches every request when name is empty. The function also returns the first endpoint when multiple friendly names match. If a persisted device ID becomes stale, capture can use a different output device.

Require a non-empty name. Track all matches and return nullptr when the match is ambiguous, as the WGC implementation does.

Prevent stale device loads from overwriting newer results.

Rapid devicechange events can run loadDevices concurrently. The mounted check only handles unmounting. If an older request completes last, it replaces the latest device list and selection.

Track a request generation and commit only the latest result.

Preserve the explicit inherit-left state.

When SettingsPanel enables follow-left, it passes undefined through useEditorPreferencesPersistence to saveEditorPreferences. The save path merges this value with the current preferences, then normalizeEditorControls applies fallback.rightClickEffect because of sanitizedRaw.rightClickEffect ?? fallback.rightClickEffect. The previous custom profile is therefore persisted instead of the inherit-left state.

Use property presence to distinguish an omitted field from an explicitly provided undefined.

Request a paused-frame refresh after updating the right-click effect.

The rightClickEffect effect updates the existing overlay, but setRightClickEffect only changes the overlay configuration. While paused, the ticker skips composition when the media timestamp is unchanged. The displayed canvas can therefore retain the previous right-click effect until another action requests composition.

Call requestPausedFrameRefresh() in the effect after updating the overlay.
