A big thank you to Peter. I can now use minios! I think the parts combination might be problematic and recently had to rebuild the boot partition. Anyhow, I’m back to enjoying music again. Thank you.

Hi Peter,
I did copy over the program file. I tried deleting the XXDATA file and recreating it.
In the end I reinstalled windows and extracted xxhighend to c drive (not programs). Followed the instal guides but still getting the same errors. I'll email you to check activation code.

Hi there Drew,

I can not be sure at all, but it looks like you may have taken a short cut on the reinstall of XXHighEnd. Something like : "let's do the base of that and next copy back from some folder structure I saved".
... And that won't work ...

I don't recall that this happened to anyone, but I see it described in the code. So the remedy is also not really known. Yeah, reinstall the Windows OS again and reinstall XXHighEnd from scratch and re-do all the settings of that (if you know those in the first place).

What you also could attempt as a first :
- Delete your XXHighEnd folder and its sub folders.
- Delete the XXDat folder you pointed at during the initial install (or else look for folders named like that).
- Ask a for a new Activation Code per email (you will receive instructions on how to implement that).

If you did not restore anything of the kind I suggested, please say so. Then we must look for an other reason, or else it may (will ?) happen again.

I may not respond immediately to emails, as I am not always there to monitor it.

Best regards for now,
Peter

Dang it, sorry everyone. The pictures didn't upload. Let's try again

Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone has seen these four errors before and if it's to do with the core structure? I have a risen 5 3500X 6c 6t cpu, 8gb ram and a m2 Samsung eco ssd. I was running xxhe successfully on a dell optiplex i5 4c 8t but had to use that pc for something else. I've followed all the instructions carefully and tried reinstalling windows 14393.0.
1st error is opening xxhe
/Volumes/TSB USB DRV/xlogin.PNG
Second error is trying to select any core scheme

Third error is trying to launch into minis after restore point created

Final error randomly comes up

Hi Erwin,

Apologies about a late reply.

Of course you don't need to worry about the pinout, or else numerous people would have problems with the connection (which theoretically would be about Absolute Phase only, which can be inversed in software anyway).

Best regards,
Peter

Hi Peter, i also have a related XLR question. My G3 has RCA and XLR outputs, i plan to use the XLR but i was wondering about the pin-out, can you specify these? To use on a differential input of course.

Thanks

Erwin

Edit: i guess i just want to double check if the XLR connection is wired like most other XLR gear, so pin 1 as shield/chassis, And pin 2 and 3 as 'hot' and 'cold'?

Hi Dave,

Glad that you found something. But if not sure after all, please notice that these days you won't have real reasons for the integrated CD/DVD drive. That will make your search a lot easier.

If the USB does not work there, then no big deal.

Snapped wires ? I don't recall that much. But if you did not do/cause that, then fine.

Best regards,
Peter

I know I've accidentally said 3.5 instead of 2.5 drive; my apologies.
In any case, I found a replacement - Syba 5.25" Bay Adapter for Slim Optical Drive, 2.5" Trayless Rack for Hard Drives HDD SSD, USB Hub - SY-MRA55005.

I put this here as I would not be surprised if other people eventually have this problem.  Hopefully, the replacement will go smoothly.

The USB ports do not work as the cable has been snipped.  I'm sure it was done for audio excellence.

I might have found a replacement - Silverstone SST-FS301

Although the broken 3.5 removable drive bay has a 4-pin connector in the back with a wire going to it, the one I mentioned, the Silverstone SST-FS301, only has a 2-pin connector. Does the 4-pin wire matter?

Also, I noticed the broken 3.5 removable drive bay has 2 USB connectors. Would connecting a 3.5 removable drive bay to the USB work?

Again thanks.
