9z-83a Initial Playback Stalls

[minzyman]

Hey all,

I am enjoying 9z-83a and still exploring different sound settings. My current settings (in signature) are resulting in very resolved sound on my system, perhaps a bit too bright for my taste, so will be playing with Q1 and Qx1 to render sound less fatiguing, more relaxed. Bass is far superior than prev release. Soundstage is solid.

That said, I am having one issue every time I reboot the computer and startup playback. I select 4 or 5 tracks and hit play. My computer attempts to go into min OS mode (unattend playback), then you see the little window come up saying wait for playback to begin, then it disappears and usually goes to black screen, then to playback. But playback is not starting and instead the blue Win7 screen just stays there, hangs.... No error boxes are popping up. I then hit Comm x to bring back XXHighend, then select fewer tracks and hit play again, and all works fine thereafter.

Am thinking that for my dual core system (16GB RAM and buffer set to 4096, straight Cont) that I need to lower Qx1 to below 7. Is this the only/best fix?

Thanks anyone.

Hi Lee,

I don't see how the larger xQ1 can be related here, but maybe.
Also, it is not clear to me whether you already know the lower xQ1 helps this case.

But the most I don't understand is what blue Window screen stays. Unless you meant a black screen (or your black screen is that blue screen). So maybe your sentence was trying to talk Dutch and that won't go.

Outside this all, what about grabbing all the log files from this situation. So, put up an explorer instance in advance, have logging switched on (restart XXHE if it was not on already), press Play and when nothing happens anymore grab the log files. Possibly no X3 or X3PB are there yet and then XX is enough (bet let me explicitly know when X3/X3PB were not there).
