Title: CD Wave issue
Post by: AbbyTaper on February 24, 2024, 01:48:06 AM
I've used this program a million times and never had this issue.  When I loaded a file tonight it played, but there was no sound.  I tested the file in various other programs (Foobar, Sound Forge, Adobe Audition, iZotope RX) and the sound was there.  I tried turning the computer off and back on, and uninstalling and reinstalling the program, with no success.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Dennis

I seem to remember something like this once - not sure if reinstalling fixed it?

There is a playback output setting in Preferences - did that get set to something wonky? Microsoft Sound Mapper I think will use whatever the system uses, or you can specify a specific output.

Thanks, Rory.  Setting it to "Microsoft Sound Mapper" didn't work, setting it to "Speakers (Audioengine D1)" which is my DAC and my sound default didn't work.  Setting it to "Speakers (High Definition Audio)" works - sort of.  I get sound now, but through the computers internal speakers, rather than through the DAC/headphones.   I guess seeing as it is only used for splitting files, this will suffice.  Really weird, as I had used the program earlier in the day and had not turned the computer off in the meantime (or done any Windows updates).

Yeah, that isn't good.

Here is the installer if you want to give a reinstall a shot. I assume you've shut down the machine and restarted already.

CD was having this problem but I just assumed user error on his part.  Now I believe him  :lol:

Well...I've uploaded 3238 shows to The Traders Den and used CD Wave to track every one of them.  So it sure wasn't user error. ::)

I think CD's just started working again, after 4 reinstalls. Not sure we ever understood why, but then again, it was CD. :guitarist:

Thanks, Rory.  Same installer I have, but I tried it anyhow.  Same results.  It went away without any reason...maybe it will come back the same way.   ;D

Have you tried to run it in Compatibility Mode?

On Windows, you can check your Sound Mixer options.
