Unicode devices name encoding issue
Closed this issue · 3 comments
Related to #7.
The GUI does not handle the device with Unicode name correctly.
It is resulting in a corrupted config file.
The input device name should be
麥克風 (2- USB Audio Device).
Output should be喇叭 (2- USB Audio Device).
These texts are Chinese characters.
It's a Windows code page conversion issue.
I have solved it by enabling system-wide UTF-8 support (beta) in Windows 11.
Thanks for the info, very interesting!
It's worth noting that in theory you shouldn't have to do this. This is still a bug in FlexASIO GUI. Most likely it has something to do with something somewhere in FlexASIO GUI using codepage-dependent ("ANSI") Windows APIs instead of Unicode (UTF-16) APIs. This would explain why Chinese characters are not being handled correctly on a system configured to use a western code page.
