Wav stops playing

[PeterSt]

Thank you Gerard. Small question : It isn't so that in this occasion during playing you added that second album ?
I ask this because this is known and still to be solved ... (most often the currently playing track is then the last track playing, and then all stops).

Well, I've been looking for over 5 hours on where to add debug info combined with where things could go wrong, and could find one place only that allowed a "silent exit" of Engine#3, meaning the sound stops without message. So, if this indeed is the place we are looking for, two subsequent messages will occur, indicated by the first one being "TEMP ERROR B".

Please note that this does not take into account possible length errors, as implied/indicated in at least one post in this topic (the stripes seem not to match the actual track length). On that matter it seems that the various posts in this topic do not deal with the same problem, which does not mean that the origine just may be the same (the latter depends on the truth of all emerging now again, while *all* those problems a. where there before, b. vanished at some stage).
Might it be so that the workout of Gerard (the post with the pictures) is a problem on its own (meaning *exactly* as how he described it), then I can anounce that *that* problem can be solved by a backdoor solution.

I have been looking carefully what was changed in 0.9v-1, and really the only thing related is the calculation of the length of the track (that's why I excluded this in above alinea). But, this then can not be the reason to let things flaw once in a while in a non-repeateable fashion.

Below XXEngine3.zip should be unpacked and placed in your 0.9uv-1 folder (save the original one). SQ might be different.

Hi Peter,

Below XXEngine3.zip should be unpacked and placed in your 0.9uv-1 folder (save the original one). SQ might be different.

After replacing XXEngine3 it does'nt work. No sound. I have checked the active task list. It shows no Engine3. Both in attended and unattended mode. In unattended mode there is no wallpaper (and sound). Switching back to the original version it works again.

Do i something wrong?

Regards, Johan

Ok, second attempt. Unzip below zip into the 0.9v-1 folder and allow XXEngine3.exe to be overwritten.

Things suddenly didn't work anymore because I upgraded the development environment (to Visual Studio 2008), which of course didn't show on the dev PC itself.
I tested this on another Vista PC (with SP1 btw while the dev PC is at SP0), and there it works now.

It's working here too!

Hello Peter,

After the initial fix not working I downloaded the second fix and it works fine. However it did not fix the problem (for me). My first album tried played the third song silently then continued on through the album. Album is Van Morrison's Keep It Simple (if only it were so...), .wav files made with EAC. Track length of the song before is 4:30.76, the silent song is 3:16.53, the song after which played fine is 5:43.10.

Thank you very much Mike. And for you sig.

Btw, I didn't do anything to solve the problem, and I only hoped a message would appear. Apparently not. Otoh, I sense your problem in another direction as ... yeah, as what ? never mind ...;
Can you please tell me what DAC you use, and what the soundcard (or mobo chip) is you use, or whether you use USB for the connection to the DAC. That is, *if* you use an external DAC.

Thanks again,
Peter

Peter,

I just started to test.... But reading Mike's post there is something i would like to say.... The thing is that he talked about the third song. Its something i allready would like to say but i am far from sure. The thing is that it is happening here a "lot" with the third track. (Could be a coincidence!!!) But it has been on a other track to... What do others think???

Hi Peter,

For a soundcard I use whatever resides / came stock within my machine. I use USB out to either a USB DAC (City Pulse or mhdt Constantine) or to a HagUSB and then S/PDIF from there into a regular DAC (various but at this moment Cal Labs Sigma II). I change DAC's quite a bit and the DAC doesn't seem to have an effect either way. I spoke too soon on my earlier post as well. XX did not play through the rest of the album but skipped anther song (maybe the 7th). Sometimes I do get an error message WP Change (I think) has stopped working. What happens then is the song starts to play through silently, then the WP Change message comes up and when I close that, another error message comes up, XX.exec has stopped working. Then when I close that error message its full stop and I have to press play again. The player then starts on the song it was on when the first error message occurred. This doesn't happen nearly as often as the silent playing through of some songs though.

Peter,

Just to let you now that i do not use the WP. And i do not know what happend but i looked at my pc to start music again. I thought that the cd has ended. Again WAV wich i played before without problems. these errors came up. I do not now if they are related to this topic. But i am sure you do...

EDIT: I started the second cd. So it was not going from cd 1 to cd 2. And when i clicked the error down the bottom away the error * Engine 3 did not start within ........time * came up.

EDIT2: Never had those errors.

Gerard, thanks. That ChangeWP thing to me looks like a similar problem why the earlier uploaded XXEngine3 didn't work. I need to apply similarly to the ChangeWP.EXE (and another one or two I think). Also this implies that I address the Wallpaper stuff unnecessarily. I will sort that out.

The error you showed at the bottom is due to XXEngine3 still running, which by itself is caused by the "No track given" message not clicked away by you (so, really not a problem, but by itself caused by the originating problem, which will be the ChangeWP thing).
