I tried installing 0.9y-4 in an empty folder after saving my ppl's elsewhere:  same behaviour; only one track at a time, regardless of size or split setting.

P.S.  See your mail for the result of the debug engine3 experiment. (Isn't that a retired street organ?)

Hi Peter,

When I reported the memory usage, I had two tabs of Chrome running, while reading and replying on this support forum.

After stopping a couple of unneeded startups the memory usage is 750MB with XX idling, and 1.32GB while playing 24/96 Armstrong & Ellington's Duke's Place (w/o upsampling, of course).
When I first started the PC with XX and no previous Browser use the numbers were 720MB and 1.20GB

With this conservative memory usage the problem still persists.  Looks like the problem may not be too little memory.

Now what?

-H

Not too much fuss, but I can't even find my imbedded soundcard in device manager or sound properties - I guess the Prodigy software thoroughly repressed it.

Memory use: While playing w/o Cover Art, w/o doubling ~1.31GB (out of 2038 installed), 
                                      w/doubling, no Cover Art ~141GB
                                      w/Cover Art and doubling ~1.49GB
                                      while Windows is collecting fault data after failed track change, up to 1.59GB
                                      at idle ~939MB

CPU use:  w/o doubling ~3-13 %
               w/ doubling ~5-15 %

BTW it's not related to track change.  I can jump to the next track in mid-song.

Also Attended Or Unattended makes no difference.

Don't have any WAV, but tried an AIFF rip of Norah Jones, and it did the same thing - also between larger movements of Beethoven's Emperor Concerto.

Wel te rusten.

OK, here are the files.  Running attended, as usual.
You said you wanted the log files for two tracks, but It'll play only one, and then not restart the engine for the next...

-H

P.S. I collected the files after M$Windows collected info about the problem for approx 5 min. after which the XX fail msg that engine #3 did not start within the expected time appeared.

Peter,

Yes, I tried Unattended.

Could there be an install issue going from the x to the y series?
To test this I went to the earliest "stable" y issue: 1d.
Same phenomenon:  engine #3 stops and doesn't restart.

Tempfiles XX and X3 were from today - 0.9y-1d; X3PB was from yesterday 0.9y-4 (I think - I was switching back and forth between versions y-4 and x-7)

-H

yes I did: no change.

Peter,
See my updated profile. I downloaded and reinstalled 3 times, because,initially, I had halting track endings as well.  However, nothing changed the engine 3 behaviour:  can play only one track at a time, and then the engine stops and won't restart (and 'end after track x' is not checked!).
As I said, reinstalling x-7 works as usual with, essentially, the same settings (no arc prediction, of course).
Whassup!?

-H

Just installed y-04, love the SQ.  However:
after one track is played the engine#3 quits, msg:  "xxengine3.exe has stopped working", and won't start again for the next track.  Tried any number of setting changes, no go!
When I go back to x-07, everything works properly again, but now I'm spoiled by the detail improvement in the SQ of y-07.
