[WriteLog] Sound card problems....

[Steve GW4BLE]

Problems this weekend in the ARRL SSB contest.....

Writelog 10.45 crashed (twice) on the first day, the Microsoft on-line crash analysis pointed to a Creative Sound Driver (emu10k1m.sys) as the likely error. I removed the sound card (Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 Digital) and did a complete reinstall.

No further crashes;  however, when opening the Writelog Sound Mixer Level Control I am unable to access the "Msg play level" control (it remains greyed out).

Also, I am unable to record any messages "on-the-fly" (Shift F1) and I can only play back previously recorded messages if I un-mute the Wave/MP3 button on the main Play Control button (accessed from double-clicking the sound icon on the task bar).

I *appears* that for some reason Writelog is not taking full control of the sound system.

The sound blaster is used for line in/line-out connection to the radios with Heil plugged straight into the mic socket, and an on-board AC97 is used for audio-review.

Anyone with the same configuration who could offer some advice, or is there a sound control issue with 10.45M   (.....Wayne, any ideas ?)


Thanks
