#16935 (closed)

changed the description

added Component::Input: DirectShow / Windows Platform::Windows desktop Status::duplicate labels

closed

This is not a duplicate of the ticket you mapped it to. That ticket is specific to the 2.2.x branch, and was resolved by removing the --sout-transcode-threads parameter from the command line. The issue described here does not affect the 2.2.x branch, it only affects the 3.0 branch. It repros with any DirectShow audio input. The last commenter on #16935 (closed) was probably using the 3.0 branch when they wrote the simplest command line, because that's what I'm describing here.

Milestone renamed

changed milestone to %3.0 FF
