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.

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
    • Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 by Razvan Serea Microsoft Edge is a super fast and secure web browser from Microsoft. It works on almost any device, including PCs, iPhones and Androids. It keeps you safe online, protects your privacy, and lets you browse the web quickly. You can even use it on all your devices and keep your browsing history and favorites synced up. Built on the same technology as Chrome, Microsoft Edge has additional built-in features like Startup boost and Sleeping tabs, which boost your browsing experience with world class performance and speed that are optimized to work best with Windows. Microsoft Edge security and privacy features such as Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, Password Monitor, InPrivate search, and Kids Mode help keep you and your loved ones protected and secure online. Microsoft Edge has features to keep both you and your family protected. Enable content filters and access activity reports with your Microsoft Family Safety account and experience a kid-friendly web with Kids Mode. The new Microsoft Edge is now compatible with your favorite extensions, so it’s easy to personalize your browsing experience. Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 changelog: Migration to improved V2 architecture for Workspaces. Workspaces, introduced in Edge in 2022, allows users to create durable sets of tabs that can be saved and shared with others. In order to improve reliability and performance of this feature, the following changes are being made: Migrating data for saved Workspaces from OneDrive/SharePoint to Edge Sync service Removing the collaboration/share functionality of this feature For organizations who have disabled Sync through policy, the existing v1 Workspace data will still be migrated to the new architecture. New v2 Workspaces created after migration won't sync across devices and will remain local to each device. This update occurs on a progressive rollout beginning in Edge Stable v145 and will continue rolling out in Edge v149. For more information, see Getting started with Microsoft Edge Workspaces. Feature Updates Passkey Sync for Enterprise Users. Microsoft Edge is introducing support for passkey synchronization for enterprise users, enabling secure, passwordless authentication across devices. Passkeys created in Edge can now be synced seamlessly, improving sign-in experience while maintaining strong security standards. Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this change, check back as we continue the rollout. Enterprise WebView2 runtime downgrade via DowngradeVersion policy. Administrators can temporarily roll back specific applications to a previous WebView2 Evergreen Runtime version (N-1 or N-2) using the new DowngradeVersion policy in msedgewebview2.admx. The Downgrade Version policy allows enterprises to mitigate critical regressions by specifying per-application exe-to-version mappings. The Edge Updater installs the target version side-by-side, and the WebView2 Loader redirects targeted apps accordingly. Downgrades auto-expire with each new WebView2 release: apps pinned to N-1 remain on the same version (now becoming N-2) and will auto-update in the next release, while apps pinned to N-2 will revert to the current Evergreen version. The policy applies only to enterprise-managed devices (domain-joined or MDM-enrolled). For more information, see Microsoft Edge WebView2 Policy Documentation | Microsoft Learn. Collections retirement. Collections has been removed in this update. Users can no longer access or use the feature. To keep saved content, users can export it, or move all pages to Favorites before updating to Microsoft Edge Stable 149. For more information, see Organize your ideas with Collections in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Support. Modern, unified, and updated Look and Feel. Microsoft Edge has updated the Look and Feel to give customers a unified experience across all of Microsoft AI surfaces including Copilot and Bing. This changes multiple elements of the UX such as spacing, corners, fonts, default colors, etc. Clarify choices surrounding third-party cookie settings. Language under Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies are clarified to better describe the choices users have in managing third-party cookies. Custom primary password retirement. Users are no longer able to create a new custom primary password in Edge Settings edge://settings/autofill/passwords/settings. Any users who are still using a custom primary password will be automatically migrated to device authentication. Additionally, the PrimaryPasswordSetting policy will no longer support the WithCustomPrimaryPassword option. For more information, see Keep your saved passwords private in Microsoft Edge | Microsoft Support. Unifying Copilot Chat policy controls. The Microsoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled policy is the standard for configuring Copilot Chat. Previously, this behavior was controlled by blocking the Copilot extension, either explicitly or by using the * wildcard via the ExtensionSettings or ExtensionInstallBlockList policies. Extension and sidebar policies no longer affect the appearance or functionality of Copilot Chat. Copilot address bar suggestions were also tied to extension policy settings. Starting in Microsoft Edge version 149, admins can use the CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled policy to manage this behavior. Intune MAM Protected Downloads. The protected downloads feature for Intune MAM is now available for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) devices, which aren't managed by a tenant.
