Duh! I'm an idiot.
Sorry Peter. You're right. One of them is XXEngine3.exe*32.
I can't believe I didn't catch that. In my defence, they jump around quite a bit in task manager, but still.

When using versions 0.9z-6 and 0.9z-6-1 in unattended mode, I always end up with 2 instances of XXHighEnd.exe*32 running once the playlist is completed and UI comes up again.
On initial start up of XXHighEnd, task manager shows 1 each of autohotkeys.exe and XXHighEnd.exe*32.
If I use alt+x to show UI during unattended playback, I will also get a second instance of XXHighEnd.exe showing in task manager.
I'm a new user , so I'm not sure if this is normal or not.
When the current playlist is completed and I want to play new songs, I currently reboot my computer, since I don't know if having 2 instances is ok. This gets me back to 1 instance of xxhighend.exe*32 and 1 instance of autohotkeys.exe.
Is this what I should be doing or can I just add new songs and play these and not be concerned about the 2 instances of xxhighend.exe?

Thanks Peter,

I see now. My "dac is" setting is 24-96. If I use 2x upsampling and play a 24-96 file with the fx button active, then the 24-96 file plays at 24-96 (no 2x upsampling).
If I try to play the same file without the fx button active, then XXHighEnd upsamples to 192kHz and gives an error about improper sample size for dac and won't play the file.
For my dac then, I need to have fx button active to avoid errors playing hi res files.
I'm guessing for a nos dac it doesn't matter if it's active or not because the dac can accept any sample rate.

Thanks again,

Bill

What does the button between the input and output bit depth indicators do? It says "fx" but has no tool tip.

Email is fine.
Thanks Peter

I'm confused about what value I should be entering in "Device Buffer Size".
I'm using an SOTM USB to S/PDIF converter to feed my Bryston DAC which has a maximum input of 24 bits, 96 kHz.
In the USB driver control panel for the SOTM, there are two different buffer settings. These are "Streaming Buffer Size" which is set at 16 milliseconds and "ASIO BUffer Size" which is set at 32 milliseconds.
Which of these corresponds to "Device Buffer Size" asked for by XXHighEnd? I'm using Kernel Streaming.
To convert milliseconds to samples, is it correct to divide sample frequency by milliseconds? For example 44100/16 = 2756 samples?
Do I enter the value for "Device Buffer Size" in XXHighEnd based on a 44100 Hz sample rate? Or, if upsampling in XXHighEnd to 96000 Hz, do I need to set "Device Buffer Setting" based on that sample frequency?
As you can tell, I'm pretty much clueless as far as understanding all this different terminology.
I hope someone can help with this. I'm currently trying to get a response from the manufacturer to this question but i thought I would try in here as well.

Thanks,

Bill

I'm also getting the "interrupt mechanism out of order " message. I'm running Win7 SP1 Ultimate 64 bit.
I downloaded 0.9z-6 yesterday (first time trying XXHighEnd) and was getting the message in demo mode. I thought it was something to do with it being demo version.
Today I un-demoed and have been getting the message quite a few times. I'm using remote desktop from Win XP  Pro 32 bit to log into my headless music player. I seem to get the message when I click on the play button in lower area of default UI. It usually goes away when I click the stop button then play is ok. Sometimes I've had to do it multiple times to finally clear it as the message would keep popping up as soon as I closed it.
I've never got to the point where I had to close the program to get rid of it.
I love this player. I'm coming from J River MC16 and as I said above, last night was the first time I tried XXHighEnd. Within minutes I'd heard enough to decide to buy it. I truly can't believe the improvement in sound quality.

Hello, not off to good start here. How do I contact Peter to get help to activate XXHighEnd on second computer?
I installed on computer with internet access thinking I could use that to activate my music player pc which is headless with no internet access.
