I am very sorry, but then this has to wait until I'm back from holidays.

In the mean time you could look for and upgrade of those ac97 drivers ?

Btw IIRC AC97 worked here, but that was not from a laptop. The laptop I tried did not ...

When I'm back I can create a kind of debug version. By that time I'll ask here whether you still want / need it.

?

It's called XXModeSupport.log

Ref210,

I am sorry for this late reply, but somehow I missed your latest post;

I can't be sure what you mean by "the Engine 3 stops executing". But please note that it may take some 30-60 seconds for the process to finish.
But otherwise, what do you mean, and how can you tell ?

Again, sorry for late answering.
Peter


Peter.

First of all, don't be sorry for your "late" answer,  I am sure you have a lot to do! The reason I know that Engine3 has stoppet, is a standard Windows dialog box telling me so. "Engine3 has stopped executing". This is when I click on the "DAC test" entry in your listbox.

Ref210

Hi,

This can be caused by the device being in use, but this is not likely.
Did you try the DAC Test (bottom option in the DAC Is setting) ?

Most probably you have an HD Audio device in the laptop, and as far as my experiences goes, they never work (properly for Vista Exclusive Mode).
If you post the result of the DAC Test in here, I might be able to say more / recognize things.

Btw, don't forget to tick the both checkboxes in the properties of the device - advanced tab (see below; never mind the 96K/16 shown there; it does nothing for Exclusive Mode).
