SYMPTOMS
When you create an encoding session with more than one Source Group, when you switch between the Source Groups a noticeable pause occurs in the audio. This occurs even if the audio device in the Source Groups is the same.



CAUSE
When you switch between the Source Groups, the Windows Media Encoder resets all the devices to match those that are defined by the new Source Group. During the brief reset, the Encoder injects a brief silence to ensure that the Encoder is receiving some form of data, and does not automatically cut off because it is not receiving a signal.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
