thanks dave, i get the common understanding of it as per this forum, i was just fishing for more info - like, is it to do with directsound/directshow, for example? i can't get ca-2a to crash in other hosts, and i'd like to know why not! it's being blamed on a win10 update, but which one? why doesn't that update have an effect on other hosts?if a windows update hosed some essential audio stack gubbins, the whole internet would be alight...
what is sonar doing differently than other hosts, that exposes this decades old windows bug? (i can speculate but was avoiding doing that, more polite to ask first)
cheers
