Hi Peter,

I'm using the RME AES-32 Soundcard and digital out through AES.  My drivers/flash are all up-to-date.  The crackes when moving through applications are new to this computer (my old one using same card did not have this problem) as I sort of gave-up debugging because I now use ASIO and Foobar.

After going though the messages in this board, I've concluded that I better upgrade to Vista.  Just that it makes me nauseaus to have to pay the Microsoflt Tax every few years.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your prompt reply.  Yes, I am using engine one and my soundcard is not set as primary driver.  The reason my soundcard is not the primary driver is that I get crackles when working with other applications in the background even though I’ve disabled all sound options.  Can XXHighEnd be configured to continue using Engine #1 without setting my sound card as primary driver?  I’m still using XP.

BTW: Last night I compared XXHighEnd extensively with other players that output via ASIO and I am very impressed with XX’s SQ. 

Hi all,

I just got XXHighEnd yesterday.  Very good SQ.  Am encountering a few problems though.  First problem, files with music longer than 6 minutes won't play.  The duration cursor will move, but no sound.  It is something to do with improper activation, because other features like oversampling and Q-Control are inaccessible?

I'm using XXHighEnd 0.9u-14a --> RME AES-32 Sound Card

Pls help, thanks.
