A new 0.9z-8a is up.
That was a stupid language dependent problem. Actually I was lucky to try it on a Dutch machine now (it would have been way difficult to find oterwise !).

Sorry for the inconvenience ...

Works for me ! Thanks for the nice Christmas gift!

Should I try also the 0.9z-8a ?

Regards

stefano

At solving this error in the mean time I found a small bug in representing the "current figures" in the XTweaks. That is about the numbers between the braces () and the "Using all cores always" can show (10) which can not exist (it should show (0). That is all which is solved additionally in 0.9z-8a.

Regards,
Peter

No problem for me to report errors back so here is another one:

Unattended does not play anything (waited for 3 minuted to play one track (1:30 minutes long) but no sound.

Attended works okay though.. andyes, activation is done properly as far as I can tell (red borders, PA engaged, able to set priorities, etc.)

No error message showed. Will engage logging...  Wink

Bert, all,

Please post issues in a separate topic for it or otherwise I will loose track.

Bert, try to lower your SFS. I myself currently have an issue when it is too high and in that case no sound comes from it at all (but an error message "Communication error with end point device" comes forward).

So when you have time tomorrow, fiddle around a bit and when it starts to work, let me know please when or how.
Thanks,
Peter

I agree with others' impressions of the sound, *but*: Seems to me I hear the slightest "sizzle" in the upper midrange, and slightest "fuzz" in the lower midrange that was not there before.  Switched to my IEMs just to be sure it wasn't in the speakers or amp.

Test tracks were "Rich Woman" from the 24/96 HDTracks download of Alison Krauss/Robert Plant "Raising Sand"; "In the Bleak Midwinter" and "Joy to the World" from the Blind Boys of Alabama's "Go Tell It On the Mountain" (CD rip in my case, but available as a 44.1 download from Peter Gabriel's RealWorld label - utterly awesome music and of course seasonally appropriate); and "All Day and All Night" from Jakob Dylan's "Seeing Things" (Bob's son, very talented songwriter in his own right).

By the way - it's not impossible my, ehm, cheap preamp is responsible and I'm just now getting audio response that will tickle the bug, or clarity sufficient to hear it.  My computer I would consider less probable.

P.S.  Two administrative details - (1) Wouldn't activate despite several attempts.  Then at one point after I'd closed XXHE for some time, I happened to bring up Task Manager, which showed the activation process still running.  Ended the process with Task Manager, started up XXHE and it was successfully activated.  (2) I'm getting the message about "Device allocated but won't play" repeatedly.

Bert, all,

Please post issues in a separate topic for it or otherwise I will loose track.


If next issues arise then I will put that in another topic... Promise!

Figured out the problem. It seems that the option "Do not start playback" was activated. If Alt-P is not used then I can wait forever...

Stupidly this option does not affect attented playback hence the confusion... :-)

Bert

PS the first notes sound very promising! Very clean, sweet and spacious!
