As it appears now, when Engine#3 is used on an output "Loudspeakers", and the player is shut down in a way not anticipated upon, the sound device is kept busy, and only a reboot will solve it.
This is the (for me) rare situation that the PC allows Exclusive Mode playback, and the internal sound device addresses the (internal) speakers directly ((digital)volume controlled btw).

This can be considered as a bug which generally won't bother you with external soundcards/DACs, but it can be annoying for those just trying out XXHighEnd on the internal speakers (with Engine#3).

That you meet this problem is rare anyway, because it is the first time I heard of the internal speakers willing to play with Exclusive Mode.
The sound device is SoundMax in this case.
