Title: Device Allocated But Cannot Play Post by: GerardA on July 06, 2012, 11:06:50 pm Today I decided to tackle XXHE to get it to play again.
For some reason I did not use it much and was still using z6. This gave me the device not allocated error. Luckily I found this this thread (http://www.phasure.com/index.php?topic=2013.msg20789#msg20789) and installed z6-1c and played around. After going back from engine 4 to 3 I got music again. I wonder if it is the HiFace-drivers or XXHE is making problems? On the other hand it sounds very good now even with simple settings, attended, services on, that I wonder if engine 3 is still inferior to 4? And if so in what way? Because a lot has happened and I think Kernel Streaming is Passé for MS... What can I try to get engine 4 working again? Title: Device Allocated But Cannot Play Post by: PeterSt on July 07, 2012, 08:07:22 am Hi Gerard,
Obviously your post will relate to further posts in that topic, but I can't make up from your post what your problem is (merely : what happens). So maybe briefly "repeat" what happens at your place ? Thanks, Peter Title: Device Allocated But Cannot Play Post by: GerardA on July 07, 2012, 10:49:44 pm Well, I get the 'Device Allocated but cannot play, check your dac settings, sample rate etc' error.
I checked and changed a lot of settings, but only going from engine 4 to engine 3 solved the problem. I would like to get engine 4 working again. But while using engine 3 I was wondering if this engine is really (still) worse than engine 4. As it is now I can not A-B between them. :( Title: Re: Device Allocated But Cannot Play Post by: PeterSt on July 08, 2012, 07:13:29 am Gerard, can you post your X3PB log file from such a situation ?
Title: Re: Device Allocated But Cannot Play Post by: Robert on July 08, 2012, 09:55:17 pm Gerard I'm running the Young Hi-face driver now in Kernel Streaming with Hi-face M2tech with Engine 4. I had no problems with standard Hi-face drivers. Check my settings although I'm currently trying new settings as Peter suggested which I have updated on my postings.
Make sure you have the Hi-face KS driver/player highlighted in Device output of XXhighend when using engine 4. I find I have to reboot computer after changing major settings in XXhighend as well. Perhaps go back to Hi-face manual its got all the relevant instructions for setting up for Kernel Streaming.

I'll hope to come back on this tomorrow, but not sure yet. Almost holiday, a lot to do! :wacko: Title: Re: Device Allocated But Cannot Play Post by: GerardA on August 06, 2012, 10:25:50 pm Peter,
The X3PB-logfile is empty. This one not but is it helpfull? Problem still exists on z7, engine3 plays, engine4 does not. Title: Re: Device Allocated But Cannot Play Post by: GerardA on August 06, 2012, 10:57:40 pm Just found this one:
Title: Re: Device Allocated But Cannot Play Post by: PeterSt on August 07, 2012, 11:47:37 am Hi Gerard,
I don't know. Maybe it works if you set your "DAC Needs" at 24 ? The HiFace driver I have (early version like my HiFace is an earlier version) at least can do that. I suppose the more current device + driver too. Maybe it helps. But whether it does ot not, something seems to be wrong with the driver you use. Can't you try an older one ? And what about Robocop's suggestion ? Regards, Peter Title: Re: Device Allocated But Cannot Play Post by: GerardA on August 07, 2012, 09:02:40 pm Finally got it to work in KS.
Control panel-> Sound->Play->Hiface->Properties There was a fourth tab where it said 44kHz maximum, after changing this to 192kHz 32 bit it worked. But now the tab has disappeared..... :scratching: Who changed that setting? Not me! :no: Title: Re: Device Allocated But Cannot Play Post by: PeterSt on August 08, 2012, 08:40:08 am Sounds like fun Gerard.
But you should tell this to the manufacturer I think. I know they are working on things ... |
