Hi Peter
Well done with gapless play. Froma local a disc it is. As you know, still a slight delay with network. However, I didn't notice that XX had loaded with #1. When I engaged engine #3. I get the message shown, at the start of each track, although the track is playing muted in the background & becomes audible when I OK the message!?

Jack,

Can you copy this behaviour ? I mean, when you start XX and use #3 from the beginning, I don't suppose this happens ?
I'd say that in your case #1 was in the way of #3, and #3 could not get the audio device exclusively because of that. Technically I must "forget" to free the audio device when #1 stops.

Hello Peter
It's weirder than that, not only does #3 do this every time, but it will not run now on any of the previous versions of XX!?
As we know it doesn't install anything so I'm trying to figure out what on earth has changed in my OS. The only change I know of was an auto update to Defender yesterday that I cannot remove. Apart from that....? I had this message before when trying to upsample with a DAC that won't (on USB). For the time being I am having to use #1 or#2. Very odd!

Hmm ... Never minding for now how it happened, you could investigate your sound device settings. I wouldn't know what to look for exactly, but start with thinking and knowing that not all audio devices allow for exclusive use, and that, for example, the changing of the primary audio device to a different one without you noticing it, could cause this.
Btw, it's really time that I allow for changing the device like #1 does.

I can't think of any other reason than mentioned above, except for something is going on with the exclusive use of your audio device itself. On that matter, do note the two checkboxed for that in the (I think) Advanced tab of the device, one of those allowing exclusive use for beginnings. If that one got unchecked ...

Hello Peter
Two heads are indeed better than one! Especially if one of them is yours! That WAS the problem. Somehow both had become unchecked!? I'm annoyed with myself that I didn't look there, the word "Exclusive" was a big enough clue! All is as it should be, thanks again. I have a Fireface 400 turning up tomorrow, so I needed to get some serious listening in on #3 & prepare for what's to come!
Gapless & Happy Jack

Hello Peter
That was me. You noticed! Not too subtle after all. But no more...
