XXHighEnd

Hi Peter

Until now, with engine #3 on, I could only listen to 1 track.
After that, an error-mesage showed-up to tell me engine #3 stopped.

With my laptop not connected to anything I played some tracks with double option checked.
To my surprise there was no stop at the end of the track, The next track just started playing.
With the machine back to the system I can not play with double options checked. I get a mesage that the USB device (DDDAC1543) can not handle the sample-rate. Just out of curiousity I checked the delay option. That also works fine. with the delay set to 1 there are no stops between the tracks. I don't know why this is but will enjoy playing at least a few tracks before the demo version quits.

Will undemo as soon as I installed Vista on the computer I dedicated to music in stead ofusing my MacBook

Hi werner,


What is the exact meassage ?
(and you do use 0.9a, do you ?)


Which would be true ... :yes:



Me neither ... But, there shouldn't be stops between the tracks anymore (not with 0.9a).
So far I can't understand this. :dntknw: (but I hope the exact error message is going to help !).

Regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,

my version of 9a still stops after each track with engine#3.
It must be version 9a as there is an undemo button !
The error message I get is from Microsoft Windows:
'"XX highEnd engine#3 werkt niet meer er wordt naar een oplossing voor het probleem gezocht."
after a short while followed by this one:
"wilt u meer info over het probleem verzenden ?"
Also the music keeps hanging, as if a CD in a 'normal' player keeps repeating a very short part because of a scratch.
As I mentionend, putting the delay to 1 solves all the problems
I use the DDDAC1543 with USB interconnect by te way, no SPDIF

Werner

Werner,

I didn't look into this yet, but this slipped to my mind :

I think because of the phenomenon "jack sensing" I discovered (already many months ago) that if you'd switch off the power amps (or one of them), this might influence the DAC, and because it talks to the software (in Vista), the software is triggered to shut off (like it won't run with the DAC out of power -> try it). BUT : where I should capture such a situation, I completely forgot about it. Now :

Suppose ... just suppose your DAC, by whatever means, responses to an end of track situation the wrong way (or the MS Class USB drivers you'd be using don't respond to that appropriately) ... it would be a perfect reason for the player to respond back with a "does not work anymore" (translation from dutch from what you described).

It's a bit of a long shot, and I wouldn't know how you could deal with this in discovering whether this can be the culprit.
What *I* can do, is trap this situation, and if from then on you'd get "my" error message, it should be in the direction.

Currently I've some other priorities though, but I sure won't forget it ! :evil:

Thanks for your patience.
Peter

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your reply. But don't pay to much attention to it.
By putting the delay to 1 second I don't notice the problem, and,
I'll try to change my 'music-computer' to play vista this weekend (new motherboard). Maybe the 'problem' disapears.
I posted the solutions more for you to see what is happening 'in the field' than to get ' the problem' solved.
I'll keep you posted !

regards
Werner

How are you doing on this Werner ?

It might be good to follow this topic just as well : XXHighEnd version 0.9d stops after one track + errors  (http://www.phasure.com/index.php?topic=127.0)

He Peter,

I'm doing fine on this  :grin:
I built my new computer for Vista this weekend so I can listen again
to my music-computer and not to the MacBook.
I did some listening and there were no stops anymore, exept for XXHighEnd stopping
To prevent that i did the undemo, so now there are no problems anymore.
I think using Vista on the MacBook must have something to do with it
Getting myself away from the music-system seems the next thing to solve !!
