Silent Audio Generation with Division by Zero
The original issue was that DiffRhythm was generating silent audio files that appeared to save successfully but contained no actual audio content. This was caused by:
- Division by Zero:
output.div(torch.max(torch.abs(output)))whenmax(abs(output)) = 0 - Silent Failures: No validation or error detection
- CPU-Only Limitations: Poor performance on CPU-only systems
Location: infer/infer.py lines 40-72
What it does:
- Safely handles division by zero when audio is silent
- Detects and handles NaN/Inf values in audio
- Provides clear logging of audio statistics
- Returns proper silent audio instead of corrupted files
Key improvements:
# Before (dangerous):
output = output.div(torch.max(torch.abs(output))) # Division by zero!
# After (safe):
max_val = torch.max(torch.abs(output))
if max_val < min_threshold:
return torch.zeros_like(output, dtype=torch.int16) # Proper silent audio
normalized = output * (target_amplitude / max_val) # Safe divisionLocation: infer/infer.py lines 75-127
What it does:
- Validates latent tensors from CFM sampling
- Detects NaN, Inf, and all-zero latents
- Provides statistical analysis of latent quality
- Prevents bad latents from reaching VAE decoder
Key checks:
- NaN/Inf detection
- All-zero detection
- Variance analysis
- Shape and dtype validation
Location: Throughout infer/infer.py
Improvements:
- Try-catch blocks around all major operations
- Detailed error messages with context
- Graceful failure handling
- Step-by-step progress logging
Location: infer/infer.py lines 130-210
