When Using FileStream2 (DShow9) to play back audio, it will only play the audio if its video out pin is connected. the regular FileStream (DShow9) can play with just connected to an audio out.
since it’s related to video playback I wouldn’t count on a fix any time soon :)
it’s not a bit issue, just something I noticed, not a problem having a video texture connected.
but it should be noted that it will affect the frame rate of the patch if wait for frame isnot set to 0. which can not be done with VideoOut which was my first idea
