SOLVED: X2 not exiting cleanly most of the time

Walt, I've actually read this a few times from others experiencing it in X2 x64. I think there is definitely something weird going on somewhere as I too have gotten this a few times, but for me, when I go into task manager I see teleport server still running and not Sonar PDR. So my issue is a little different. I'd be willing to bet my issue has to do with plugs that are bit-bridged as I never have an issue when running all 64 stuff or strictly Cake 64 stuff. But my issue is similar....I can't reopen Sonar until I shut down teleport server.

When you try to close Sonar, do you see that teleport server thing running or just Sonar PDR? On 32 bit Sonar, I never EVER have this problem. It's definitely something to do with the x64 version and may even be some system specific thing. I've seen the Bakers respond to a few messages regarding this, so they DO know about it. I've definitely seen something similar myself as well as read about it...so you're not alone. But to my knowledge, no one has figured it out yet.

Sorry, but I don't know what a teleport server is, and I don't think I have one running.
In any case, I think I have solved the problem.  I noticed that my laptop has an audio driver for the internal speakers (Realtek), and it was enabled.  Once I disabled the Realtek audio output driver in Preferences->Audio->Devices and then rebooted SONAR (requiring me to kill the process one last time), after it restarted without that Realtek driver being enabled, I am now able to exit cleanly, even if I am running VST plugins and/or synths.


So I guess the moral of the story is: disable all drivers you're not using or they may hang and/or crash.

Glad you fixed it. Just FYI, open Sonar x64 and then open a project. Bring up task manager and look in processes and you will see "teleport server". It's "bit bridge" which is used for Sonar 64. Sometimes that seems to hang up on me which is why I brought it up to you. At any rate, as long as things are working for you now...that's a good thing. Best of luck.

FWIW, the Teleport Server is only used when adding 32bit plugins to a project within 64bit SONAR.  You should even see a small icon at the bottom of your screen in the Windows task bar alongside SONAR.   But if your VST plugins are all native 64bit, you'll never see the Teleport running.
