Title: Engine#3 doesn't work Post by: fhl on August 13, 2007, 05:36:33 pm I just downloaded the demo version, but I can't get engine#3 to work. Engine#2 works well. When I change to #3, I get the following message: Wrong Stream Status (1)
What's wrong? Frode Title: Re: Engine#3 doesn't work Post by: Chris V on August 13, 2007, 05:48:08 pm Hi Frode, just checking, but Engine 3 is exclusive to Vista. Are you running that?

Engine#3 is kind of "fragile" when it comes to official layouts of WAV files. To give an example : files created with WaveLab won't play, while it will with the other Engines. So the best advise would be to just try another CD of normal origine. Note that currently only 44K1 16 bits files can be played anyway, with unpredicted results on other formats. Supposed that all your ripped CDs don't work, how did you rip them ? With EAC they should just work, unless you're really reading errors continuesly. Then the errors are in the "header data" already, and you're lost. Again, #3 is fragile to that matter.

Peter I haven't ripped very much yet, and the ones I have, are FLAC. So I ripped a cd to WAV with Windows MediaPlayer just for testing.

EAC : http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/en/index.php/resources/download/older-versions-for-download/ which is for "older versions", but as far as ai can see the latest is "pre-beta". Download it, don't make any fuzz as of yet, and try whether it then works (but don't use "bulk copy"). If it works, start to worry about the settings before further listening. Otherwise you might be listening to a bad rip anyway. Peter Title: Re: Engine#3 doesn't work Post by: fhl on August 13, 2007, 07:39:40 pm Ok, now it works. Thanks!

If you want to go over good settings for EAC give me a pm and I'll help you tomorrow.Frode Title: Re: Engine#3 doesn't work Post by: fhl on August 14, 2007, 08:34:19 pm Ok, now it works. Thanks!

Just tried dbpoweramp and it works well, no problem when playing the files. Frode |
