| Summary | 0008428: Crash when opening a-* plugins | ||||
| Description | Since 6.3 (which from what I understand introduced new gui to a-* plugins), Ardour crashes when I open any of them (tried with a-eq, a-compressor and a-delay). Adding an a-* plugin works, but whenever I try to open the plugin window, it shows a black window for a few seconds, Ardour then freezes and crashes a few seconds later. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Add a plugin like a-eq to a (midi) track, double click on the plugin to open it, wait for crash. | ||||
| Additional Information | Running Ardour on latest Windows 10 Professionnal 64bit version. Using a laptop with Optimus (Nvidia 1070 and Intel chipset). Specs: OS: Windows 10 version 1909 CPU: Intel Core i7-8750H CPU @ 2.20GHz GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 GPU2: Intel UHD Graphics 630 RAM: 8GB Audio interface: Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 USB | ||||

Do other openGL plugins work? e.g. x42-eq or any Harrison XT-* or overtoneDSP ones. If not, a common issue there are outdated video drivers and updating the driver fixes this. PS. meanwhile you can right-click > Edit with generic controls. |

So, I updated the NVIDIA drivers to the latest, and still crashed on both a-* plugins and the Harrison Consoles ones. However, I made Ardour run on Intel integrated graphics (Intel UHD Graphics 630) and it works. So there is a fix, but I'm not sure exactly why it is so. |
