Description bergerkos 2020-03-10 12:40:02 UTC
Poor sound quality in Windows host (hissing + lags). Was reported and fixed in head, see https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/issues/5514.

Port version compiled according to this https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=239915 PR has no such problem.

Therefore it seems reasonable to update the current port sources at least to that commit to fix this sound issue.

(In reply to bergerkos from comment #0)

Hmm... that's very usual. =-(

I really wish FreeRDP would just draw a hard line and release 2.0.0 already... -rc4 was released 2018/11/20 and there's been 1400+ commits since then, at what point is it really not an -rc anymore?

The unusual part is actually that the patch in the other PR fixed it, though -- that one doesn't actually update at all, it just brings in a single patch that I had submitted upstream to fix the build with urbdc. However, it -did- also bring in dbus-glib and libudev-devd; I could probably believe that something in there sufficiently changed the build such that you're using a differentr audio backend with the new dependencies added.

Sorry, my mistake. Yours were created long before the #5818 (the latter is dated January 8 2020). So it couldn't be the case.

I will try, though, with those patches, too.
Comment 3 bergerkos 2020-03-10 21:08:32 UTC
Ok,my error here. It seems that all the difference in sound is due to enabling /disabling FAAD in additon to FFMPEG -- both in your and the standard version.

Still I wonder if #5818 mentioned in my post here is worth trying. They seem to have improved rdpsnd device quite a bit.

Is this PR still relevant?
