CD Ripper producing .flac files showing 0 Length, and tiny files containing tag infor

[John (for Tony)]

dBpoweramp ripper in Windows 11 started producing .flac files with no audio content, "Length 0" and containing otherwise OK tag information in a .flac file typically arpund 126kB in size. Rips to wave or mp3 are OK. I have tried purchasing the latest update but this did not fix the problem. So I uninstalled and reinstalled from a freah download of "Release 2023-10-10 [64 bit] - 'Fully Registered, No restrictions'" but the problem remains. Below is the ripper's reported result for the first track: it produced a 128kB .flac file and the problem remains. The file's properties in Windows File Explorer shows that the encoder is "FLAC reference libFLAC 1.4.3 20230623". I am aware of a similar problem reported with an update of the FLAC encoder to V1.3.2 (https://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthr...amp-FLAC-1-3-2) and that may well have been the point at which the problem here initially started. But how do I fix it?

Remove all DSP effects and try again.
