XXHighEnd

A minor problem that I notice since 1.186a is that after rebooting (sometimes) and now once after punching alt n while playing an album allready for a couple of tracks, I get the message that the device can not play, format not supported and some other messages. When I check the settings the device has changed from KS Phasure to Headphone. When I change the device back to KS Phasure it behaves normally again.
Just hickups of W8 or something else ?

Leo,

The basis of this will be the way XXHighEnd allocates the device now (or better : sets its settings from the last saved ones), and this doesn't always go in a decent fashion. So once in a while (say once per week) I have similar (well, I guess it is similar/the same) BUT it always end up right because in MinOS I have no other devices (which deviced should be KS devices since WASAPI is turned off anyway). So, I may get a message at startup of XXHighEnd (not yours, but I know it's from the same area) but next it is always OK because when (say half of a second) later things are finalized, there appears to be one device only, and that one gets selected. Still that message I receive will hold up (it must be clicked away).

Summarized, things are not 100% decent (are timing related), but if you don't need that other device (headphone in your case) just disabled it. Now you (thus) still may receive a message, but there is no "opportunity" anymore for XXHighEnd selecting the wrong device (there is one only, and that's the one you want).

'there is one only, and that's the one you want'

You couldn't have said it better Peter!

I will disable the others.....
