Can you send me your logfile? I'd like to know what it is trying to do.

You can delete Dopamine.db. You can find it in folder %appdata%\dopamine

Here it is:

Excellent! I saw in your logs that you used build 685 at some point. I made a mistake in the database upgrade in that build. I suspect that it might have caused your issues (I pulled the build after a user notified me of issues, but it was too late).

Not sure if this bug came from this latest build but I added some new albums and it just hung forever trying to add album covers. I restarted Dopamine and those albums still don't have artwork.

 

Looks like the same issue I had. Try deleting Dopamine.db in %appdata%\dopamine , as @Raphaël G. suggested.

I broke the songs screen a bit in build 700. I released an extra build quickly: 1.1 build 702 Preview

 

- [Fixed] Shuffle doesn't perform a loop anymore. It is now possible to manually switch on Loop and Shuffle together.

- [Fixed] Fixed double clicking song on Songs screen only queues the clicked song

Hey Raphael! Great release. But I am having a problem with my Philips SHB7000 wireless headset and Dopamine. When using my headset's media keys, Next and Previous works as expected but Play/Pause doesn't work. Its not picked up by your Keyboardtest. Groove Music has no problem with my headset.
 

^ For Next and Previous. Nothing recorded for Play/Pause.

Back in April I posted this. I think it was build 640. Back then I had to use Groove to satisfy my needs, so never really cared about using it when in Dopamine. Surprisingly It is fixed in build 700 and I have no problems using my headset. Went through each changelog, don't know what fixed the issue, .NET upgrade, or WASAPI or the Windows 10 AU. Now I don't need Groove at all :D

EDIT: Tried to install the 660 stable release by uninstalling the current version to check when it got fixed, got an Oops error at startup and got this in details.

EDIT2: Back on build 702 and no issues so far. Strange, I thought a stable release had to be... 'stable'

Thanks for confirming this! :) It was explicitly fixed in Dopamine build 694. See change log item:


- [Fixed] Bluetooth headset play/pause button not detected

 

I open sourced Dopamine a while ago, and someone else fixed the bug for me. Good thing, because I didn't know where to start and also don't have a Bluetooth headset to test with.

Oh shoot, didn't see that. Plus this issue of going back to the stable release is there, got the OOPS screen again with build 660:/

What do you mean? You installed build 700, and then reverted to build 660? If yes, the Oops screen is expected. Build 660 is not compatible with the database of recent builds.

You'll have to delete the %appdata%\Dopamine folder if you want to use build 660 again.

Another build was released: 1.1 build 704 Preview

 

Build releases are following each other rather quickly. I'm ironing out bugs fast for the 1.1 release (getting close).

 

This is the changelog:

 

– [Changed] Removed search field on Cloud screen
– [Fixed] Equalizer manual preset values incorrectly saved, causing audio engine crash.

I'll need your help. Could you try out build 708, to check if your headset still works fine with it? You can get that build here

The headset fix broke media keys for other users, and I now attempted to fix it for everyone (or at least for as much people as possible).

Thanks! I got confirmation from a second headset user, and also from someone where keyboard media keys were broken. Everything seems to work.

Another build was just released: 1.1 build 709 preview

 

This is the change log:

 

– [Changed] Adjusted built-in equalizer presets so their effect on the audio is more noticeable
– [Fixed] Album cover not displayed when playing a file from explorer
– [Fixed] Improved detection of media keys

Hi all,

 

Version 1.1 final is almost ready. That means that development on 1.2 will start soon. In 1.2 I'd like to add scrobbling, as it is a much demanded feature. I have no experience with scrobbling, so I'll need some input here.

Do you have examples of how scrobbling should work and which scrobbling features are a must-have?

 

Thanks!

Sorry, i don't use scrobbling, can't help on this one, used to scrobble long time ago with foobar2000 and last.fm.

I have a request, maybe it is already asked : it is possible to add support for DSD files ?

 

Thank you!

Nice work on 1.1. :)

 

This seems like a good time to re-request a feature - a fixed playback device setting. I'd use Dopamine a lot more often if I didn't have to manually change my output device to speakers, then back to headphones, every time I use it.

Thanks!

 

Could you explain a bit more how you use audio players? I can provide a list of available audio devices, but you'll still have to switch the device manually when changing from speakers to headphones.

My setup is as follows; I have my onboard Realtek sound system set to treat my headphone and speaker jacks as separate audio devices. Windows is set to use "Headphones" as the default device, which leaves a 2nd "Speakers" device spare. Most of my listening is done through the headphones (e.g. YouTube, games) which requires no further setup as they are the default device. When I use foobar2000 to play music, it is set to output to the secondary "Speakers" device so that music comes through the speakers instead.

 

Basically, it's all just a way to automate having music play through the speakers, and everything else through the headphones. This way, I hardly ever need to change the default output device, a current exception being Dopamine for example.

OK thanks. That's what I wanted to know. If I give you a list of audio devices in Dopamine, you'll be able to do this.

    • I don't understand the vision. Do people really want to buy a new computer from Dell with 6 browsers installed? We all keep asking for Microsoft to stop having so much junk on their OS, and adding a bunch of browsers seems to go against that. Ideally, we would just be asked what browser we want during OOBE but Google is just going to pay Dell a bunch of money to include Chrome. Additionally, would you want your phones to start including all the browsers too when you get them? The only thing I ever wanted was to be able to uninstall IE or edge and I believe you are now able to. I do agree that microsoft needs to chill with their "are you sure you don't want to try edge before you install chrome" ads when going to download chrome.
    • The funny thing here is that like 70% or so of the web browser users use 'Google Chrome' as web browser. What I don't understand is that why on earth would ANYONE choose 'Google Chrome' on Windows when 'Microsoft Edge' is not just better in most things, but it's already there right out of the box for the Windows users. Microsoft Edge has less data collection (yes, that's a fact), less RAM usage and is more optimized for Windows (as it's a Microsoft product) right out of the box. I'm sure you will come with the argument of bloat in Microsoft Edge. Sure, but most of that can be fixed with a simple tool (there are many good ones out there for this). Yes, that require a couple of clicks in the same way as it requires several clicks to install 'Google Chrome'. And I'm sure you really love the 4 GB of AI-slop data 'Google Chrome' is downloading for Chrome without you agreeing to it. Fun right? Sure, the way Microsoft is pushing 'Microsoft Edge' on users might not be the best way of doing it and might need to change. But I would never choose 'Google Chrome' over 'Microsoft Edge' today anyways. I'm sure there was a period back in the days when 'Google Chrome' actually was better in most things, but that period is not today.
    • JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more by David Uzondu Image via JetBrains IntelliJ 2026.1.3 from JetBrains has landed, bringing several highly requested bug fixes that target common UI glitches and terminal rendering issues. If you run tmux inside the integrated terminal, the IDE no longer renders the cursor above the active line. The Markdown preview bug, which was fixed in this release, had annoyed developers for quite some time, as the preview pane failed to render images saved outside the project directory. Instead of displaying the actual image, the IDE simply showed a broken image icon, a problem that stuck around for two years before this update. Over on Windows, developers running WSL can now use wsl.exe to spin up their environments without losing terminal functionality. In previous builds, launching a terminal shell with something like wsl.exe -d ubuntu inside a Windows-based project broke both shell integration and active process detection. Other bug fixes in this release include: An issue where Gradle sync incorrectly reported success as a failure on WSL when using Gradle 9.5.0. A syntax highlighting bug that flagged valid Java for-loop initialization blocks with multiple statements as incorrect. A warning bug that triggered a false non-null local variable alert when using JSpecify annotations. A database generation bug that hid the option to use a DELETE statement instead of a TRUNCATE checkbox. A Kotlin highlighting failure where an assertion error in the Gradle redundant library inspection broke error highlighting. A UI bug where the ComboBox popup lacked a maximum height restriction. A Snowflake syntax error where DataGrip failed to support the "create temp" command. A Svelte syntax parsing failure that incorrectly flagged quotes inside inline expressions. A VCS repository manager deadlock that triggered thread pool exhaustion. A memory leak where the LazyTree component kept all previous versions of a tree in memory. IntelliJ 2026.1.3 is the third bug fix release for the IntelliJ 2026.1 series. The first one landed back in April with a fix for the WSL Python interpreter freeze, another fix for guest participants using Emmet abbreviations, and corrected WildFly server deployment errors.
