I suspect it is still a problem. But due to overwhelming eldercare responsibilities I haven't been able to look into this myself, and that may not change soon. Can somebody else maybe please test this?

Unfortunately that experimental build of GTK3VICE revision 36167 is so unstable, the window doesn't even want to open on my machine -- the application simply quits before anything can be tested. So, I still don't know if the issue is fixed or not.

But what I can offer is to try to use the GTK3VICE build of revision 36167 (as found in experimental binaries) and then provide feedback afterwards. That might give us a more definitive answer about closing this ticket.

As the one who reported this bug, I don't know. It may be fixed (as suspected by user gregdk), but I cannot confirm this since there is no sufficiently newer "official" build available for GTK Win32 (and I'm not able to build it myself). My interim workaround has been to just switch to a non-DX sound driver for now. Ideally the potential fix would be verified before we just close this ticket (but maybe you use a different workflow).

Well, those official Windows builds were good enough for me for many years, and I'd rather have something official/vouched than nothing at all. (Without a default go-to build, being forced to go hunt the web for binaries, it leaves the field wide open for virus-infected builds from unknown sources.)

Thanks for the clarification. In case it could help somebody else: As an alternative workaround for this bug, one can also switch the sound driver configuration from DX to WMM (although I noticed a difference in sound quality). That's probably what I'll do for now to avoid installing an unfamiliar build. (I'm still a bit concerned about the future of VICE without "official" binaries, but that's another topic.)

Thanks for your feedback, and sorry if this is a dumb question, but where can I find such an official build? I thought GTK3VICE was the way forward (which is why I switched from WinVICE), but the most recent release build for Windows seems to be 35872 (that is the one I used with the problem). The "nightly builds" for Windows only go to "GTK3VICE-3.3-win32-r35896" (short by one revision from the 35897 suggestion). I did find an official SDL2VICE build for revision 36028 (under "experimental binaries"),...
