The device manager is in one of the first posts (Enheder til lyd, video og spil)


And a bonus (Ingen Lyd(ændret) = No Sounds (changed)):

I am afraid that is all I got. Vista is a little different than XP. It is actually Control Panel/Sounds.

Thanks all of you for the help. At this point it seems like every thing points to Sonar. I am also out of ideas and the only people who can debug deeper into this is Sonar. So I will make (yet another) error report and hope they will look into this, so I can get back in business again...

The C0000005 error is caused by the CPU trying to access memory in no where land. It is also called an Access Violation. The tricky job is to find the program that was using the cpu when it happened. Fortunately the eventlogger is very detailed. Here is a list with the exact programs that caused that violation on my DAW these few days:

4 x PLAY

1 x Iexplorer

2 x VPSoloDec.dll (Vvocal)
1 x Sonar unspecified halt error
10 x Sonar Exception errors


That makes 13 out of 18 errors Sonar related

But strictly speaking it could be the OS kernel running tasks on behalf of the program that is running at that specific time. And dont mistake the timestamp for actual time, it is part of the version no.

Now I have been using Sonar 7 for ½ a day and the error does not show up any more.
I havent been able to work so long time without an error for a very long time.
In the beginning of this thread I mentioned that Sonar does not redraw.
This problem has also vanished completely with Sonar 7.
Guess that CW upgraded Visual Studio and .net since Sonar 7.

Sonar 8:

Look at the transport control bar:

Just pressed Help:

Well - sort of. To day im back in the old groove with crashes and errormessage. At least it worked for a day and it was relly nice having just one day with no crashes and I got a lot of work done....

Are they the same errors you listed about 10 post ago?? most of those errors looks like its due to a VSt plugin that does not like 64bit and or 64bit vista..
Cj

ok - 96 minidumps so far..... Just sent them to CW.

Seeing as Cakewalk have mentioned language, was the good day running with Windows in English and the following day were you still in English.  Also I got this message a few times with the EMU 1212M. Have you got Patchmix installed and is everything set OK in there as well.

The language (Locale Setting) was a brilliant idea from Steve Cox. It didnt work though but I have seen other applications and setups (on SQL Server) with an exception error that got cured by switching the Country settings from DK to US ("." &",").  I still think that there could be something here. We are only 2 hand full of people in DK using Sonar so what are the chances that people in other countries run in to the same thing...
 
Yes I have Patchmix running OK (On DAW 3). In the beginning I had trouble understanding and using it, but now its a piece of Cake. Im actually very happy with 1212m - it sounds great

RigPa...I'm getting the same message "Unable to open Audio Playback Device". Device may not support the projects audio format or may be in use.) then it diects me to support/hardwaresteup/ and it doesn't solve the problem.
Any luck with the problem? I'm running a .mov file with audio and was editing okay last nite (first time I've tried this) but today I can't get the audio to play.

I've seen this error before, rarely, and I know why every time. Sometimes I have Windows Media Player open playing a song & don't realize it when I open Sonar. Media Player playing a 16 bit 44.1 khz .wav will do that to the drivers. So will having iTunes open. But get this. Sometimes you close iTunes and it still has some way of keeping it at that rate since it runs other services.

Another cause is having the Internet open with a page that has ANY KIND of audio or video playing. Be it YouTube, or some site that's got a shockwave player going. Even if the song finishes playing, that player may be 'first in line' and keep Sonar from not only playing, but cause Sonar to do that 'reset' to a lower bit and sample rate.  It's often a matter of 'who gets there first' here.

Like we say in the world of IT I've worked in for years before, reboot. Open Sonar first (no Internet or Media Player or iTunes). If this fails, go into WDM mode and run our friend the good old audio configuration thing (who's exact name escapes me, that's not needed or clickable for AISO, but is for WDM) and that'll hopefully find the higher sample rates and let you run with it, from there.

Try this and see if it works. You may have to re-run that app every time you get this error. It's not perfect but it is a work-around. I'm not surprised at audio conflicts with so many things able to access audio. So I just roll with it. As far as projects or bundles not opening, those just might be ones you have that above 16 bit 44.1. See if those at 16 bit 44.1 open, while others (higher) do not.

Just realized. You may want to be sure the 'share audio drivers' check box is checked off on page two of the audio options. That may allow it to run more friendly with other such audio programs. Though again, I have mine checked off and its only one at a time. Not a bother for me, usually that's fine, I don't need or want more than one thing playing.
