Bug Report DShow Audio & Video Source plugins lose sound when switching scenes

Hello,

I had already posted this in the DirectShow Audio plugin thread, but figured I should ask here as well since the problem occurs with multiple plugins. So here's the thing:

I run Win7 x64 but use OBS x32 because it won't pick up my Hauppauge HD PVR on x64. I wanted to play music files only on selected scenes, so first I tried out the Video Source plugin and add some files in there. Works fine, except that when I have the music playing on scene A and switch to scene B without the plugin and switch back to scene A, it stops working altogether. No music is transmitted whatsoever, the mixer doesn't show any activity any more either. I thought this was related to the Video Source plugin so I tried the DirectShow Audio plugin instead.

I set it up with VB-Cable and WinAmp/foobar and works somewhat okay (save for the random scratches/cracks I hear when previewing and recording but I already mentioned that in the DShow's thread) except the same thing happens when switching scenes. It won't work again unless I restart OBS. I'm not sure if this is a bug or I have my settings messed up? I always have the sources set as global so I don't suspect it's a memory issue...

Any ideas?

Edit: I noticed that when I bring up my Windows' volumemixer, the bar for OBS goes all the way down when switching back to scene A (with DirectShow Audio). When I raise it to 100%, I hear nothing but the volume bar does move. It's like OBS mutes itself in Windows.

I think I found out the problem... One of my sources on scene B had 'Use WaveOut audio renderer' selected in its properties. It doesn't mess up the audio in Windows anymore since I unchecked it.
