Next to the crash comes the issue that Eartrumpet doesnt properly work anymore after a while, mostly in relation with the issue. That the volume slider starts to lag and doesnt move with the mouse anymore together becomes slower and slower and creates 100% cpu usage. If you then stop dragging the slider moves on for seconds on its own and becomes laggy and crashing with high chance.

This issue is present since years and was not fixed so far.

If it doesnt crash it shows this after HDMI switch:

Restarting EarTrumpet also fixes the issue.

@riverar Can you please look into this? EarTrumpet is not usable with this bug. It is crashing if you change hdmi connection and usw hdmi audio and the audio vanishes if you change monitors.

Will do, let me see if I can reproduce.

@makedir Can you reproduce this with an EarTrumpet dev build? https://install.eartrumpet.app/dev/EarTrumpet.Package.appinstaller
