Thanks to everybody helping to make clear what happend, these both things have now been solved.
For those who never read the Release Notes on 0.9x-5, here's a small repeat of an important part :
Very important : Only when AutoHotkey has been installed, and is at least working to the extend XXHighEnd can be startup with a hotkey (default is Alt-X), it is allowed to tick this checkbox. See
AutoHotkey Install. When this is not done, hence XXHighEnd can not be brought up with a hotkey, at Unattended Payback - no desktop icons will be visible, no Taskbar will be there, no Startbutton will be around ... nothing. So, you will not be able to do anything, except for listening out the playlist concerned, and wait until that finishes and XXHighEnd will popup automatically, which by itself will bring back everything.
A reboot is a solution as well.
This all sounds more dangerously than it really is, and with the hotkeys available there is really nothing to fear.
And remember the objective : better Sound Quality.
Edit : Some have reported that the Sound Device again can not be properly selected. For those with these problems, please go here :
Re: Spdif digital out only???. Please note that right now it has not been determined that this helps.
Edit2 : As it turns out know, larger problems seem to be present in this version.
If you are new to XXhighEnd, please don't use this version, and use 0.9x-4 instead.
