Ok. But what you don't know is that either could hold up the other.

Did you try the reboot now ? 99,99% chance it helps.
Edit : ... for the hicups !

Were the clicks gone in u-11 and now they are back ?

This is not XX crashing, it is one of the sevices stopping. Did you never had that before ? Anyway, it's "normal". When this happens, click away the message and stop/start playing.
If it keeps on happening, change the priorities of the player.

If it can't be dealt with ... hmm ... then it must be you youreself ? hahaha but I don't expect that.

I think I started myself talking about requireing more from the PC. Whether this is true or not I don't know, but two days ago it needed a reboot for me to get that solved. But there's more variations to this;

Can you tell, does it interrupt the last track (near the end), or is it right in between of both ?
If the first, then it's the PC. See if a reboot helps and please let me know.

LydMekk, after you wake up, could you try to rephrase to dutch, so I can understand ?

Ok, the first PM I've received already shows the (kind of expected) problem : "Administrator" which I check for, is spelled differently per language. Thanks very much.

I can only say : keep on posting those log files, so I can anticipate on all the different translations.


Please keep in mind (this is clear now), when you receive the message you will *not* be able to let your system have the settings as intended. This can not be seen (hence checked by yourself), nor could I by means of a program. It can be seen by me by means of "errors" though, but these errors are kind of standard in several situations (with the example of driver services not being able to influence).

Thanks,
Peter

From the Release Notes of 09u-12 :

When Administrator Rights are (presumeably) not set properly, a message shows so at startup;
Quite some users get this message, while all was done to set things right.
Now, when the message appears, a log file XXAdmin.log will be created in the XX folder with a contents that might be of use for debugging;
Post the contents of that file, or send it by PM if you think that confidential data might be in there (it can). From there we may proceed on solving this problem.

It is strongly advised to not use your system without a preamp (or the pre-amp at max volume for that matter) if you or your speakers won't be able to handle a situation that e.g. the file contains wrongly formatted data or otherwise - because of which cracks may emerge with an energy beyond imagination.

The following changes have been applied (all Engine #3) :

• Added support for the following sample rates / bit depths :
  
  - 176400/24 (untested !)
  - 176400/24 played with a 16 bit DAC (untested !)
  - 192000/24 (soundcard buffer can be at 128 samples)
  - 192000/24 played with a 16 bit DAC.
  - 352800/24 (untested !)
  - 352800/24 downsampled to 176400/24 (this produces a lot of noise and is probably not good !) (soundcard buffer can be at 128 samples). The switch to downsampling happens automatically when the DAC doesn't allow for 352800. With 2GB of memory, track length can be 12-13 minutes.
  - 384000/24 (untested !)
  
  Edit2 : Removed Edit text about the noise in 176400/24 downsampled not being caused by XX. It just is !
  
  The 352800 and up can not be played with the Mem checkbox unchecked !
  
  The 192000 and up will not play two subsequent tracks. The reason for this is unknown, but could be the file data. The unavailability of more than one album of either type, prevents proper analysis so far.
  When this happens, "XXEngine 3 stopped working" will be shown.
  
  All the "untested" are because of the lack of examples.
  
  
• The DAC Test (Settings Area, bottom choice of Dac Is) stopped working in one of the previous versions; this has been restored.
  
  
• The DAC Test has been extended with above mentioned sample rates.
  NOTE : It can well be that the Test reports support for 352800 and 384000 while this is not so. Probably this is because something does not take into account it could exist.
  
  
• Double/Quad with the Mem checkbox unchecked was broken in the last version (because of an inappropriate message). This has been fixed.
  
  
• When Administrator Rights are (presumeably) not set properly, a message shows so at startup;
  Quite some users get this message, while all was done to set things right.
  Now, when the message appears, a log file XXAdmin.log will be created in the XX folder with a contents that might be of use for debugging;
  Post the contents of that file, or send it by PM if you think that confidential data might be in there (it can). From there we may proceed on solving this problem.
  
  

Excuses in advance when something is broken !

Anyway, I am serious about Vista and the (jack) sensing. Try to plugin headphones, and you'll see they become available as a device. Plug 'm out, and it's gone again. I head similar with my DAc by means of switching of the amps.
This never happened in XP.

You aren't telling that your DAC is *not* in the fridge, do you ?
AFAIK we all have our DACs in the fridge. Try it !
It might solve your mute problem too.


Can't your supplier help on this ? It might be a known problem for the DAC ...

... or maybe you didn't think it is funny.

Assuming you are using Vista : this is one of the great features of Vista (Active Sensing or something like that). I have that when I switch of my amps. Or better, I *had* that with the former amps I had.

I assume this is a matter of earthing somehow, and you must try to trick Vista. IOW the powerdip (or peak, whatever) should be detoured to something you DAC can't notice.
Like with me, it will be your amps passing through the "click" (I think that can be proved by the battery operation still suffering from it).

If all is right, you can see it happening by the device just disappearing (or getting into unavailable status) from the list of sound devices (rightclick on spekar icon and "list of devices") when it happens.


If this is not Vista, then I don't know.

May you not have seen it already, 2L uploaded the B.Britten for 96/24 stereo now : http://www.2l.no/hires/index.html

No no no, but I already expected that you'd thought I took it like that (didn't know how to make it clear). The contrary, I was really laughing outloud. I mean, if "we" are in the stage of being able to determine that it's not perfect yet, *THEN* we're talking !
And I mean that.

Saying something is wrong (and preferably why) obviously is more useful than saying it's so good.

Btw, might it help, I don't think Upsampling is good. It was at some stage (to the sense of "better"), but not anymore. Might be personal (but I don't think so).

But how can you tell when you are used to Double, which now doesn't work for you ? And don't compare with Mem checked, because that is way different !

Help ...

I forgot to check the DAC Test.

About Double ... Djeezz ... that sure worked, but one of the last things I did was activating this message in "some" case it should (and this was about native 88200 being able to select for Double). And I didn't start (2 hours !!) of checking all the combinations again. But as is obvious to me now, at the moment this check is applied (and Mem unchecked) the file *is* Doubled already, and the check is not appropriate.

I am sorry ...
