audio device problem in use?

Sometimes my audio does not work so I test. Then it shows the warning message "the device is used by another application. Please close any device that plays audio on this device, and then try again. "How this happen?

Hello

Try the following.

Open windows control panel, open Windows Update, select "View update history" in the left pane and then select "Installed updates" link in the next window.

Locate the KB2962407 update, right click and choose uninstall.  Once completed, restart the computer, open windows control panel, open Windows Update and select "Check for updates".  You will see the update that you have uninstalled just offered once again - right click and select "Hide update".

After that you may or may not need to remove and reload the sound driver - if you do, how to use Recovery Manager to reinstall the drivers and software is detailed in the document at the link below.

    I bought "toneport ux2 line6" and it does not work with my computer laptop (dual core 1, 73GHz, 1 GB ram, Windows Vista).

    The problem is when I listen to music through this device, it looks I would look scratched CD, from time to time that there is a short interruption. The same thing happens when I'm with gearbox (software that allow you to play the electric guitar using audio device). I checked everything, including change Windows XP OS.

    Hello Marcin

    In my opinion, you must be sure your laptop running fine and according to your assignment I do not here no problem.

    So in your case you have problem with some additional equipment or third party software. Am I wrong? If there is a problem I see no reason to seek the solution with Toshiba. You should contact the manufacturers of all the devices and software that you use. They should have enough experience with own products and they should offer good support in troubleshooting.

  • Audio device is in use by another application

    As the title suggests, however,

    I tried to reboot Windows Audio,

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled my Audio drivers

    no other programs try to use the speakers on my TV,

    forcing audio to play through my TV (extinguish all alternative audio devices) causes a blue screen.

    also restarted several times in attempts to solve the problem.

    P.S. the sound is read by all the other outputs such as helmet, it's only my TV speakers that cause the blue screen and do not accept the sounds. It is an older model of the Sony Bravia.

  • Audio device problem on Windows 8 64 Y510

    Hello dear readers. I have a lot of problems with my audio devices after the operating system upgrade to windows 8 on my lenovo y510. First of all default settings and drivers that I am working as any other failure, are evidence of each pair of speakers (this particular machine has 2 x 2 speakers and a subwoofer) as different devices on my audio settings. This of course means that I can only listen to one channel which is frankly frustrating...

    I tried to update the realtek drivers, and after restarting, I as a single device. With the help of those who suggested on lead lenovo horrible failure page, so I don't even bother. I think that this may be connected to the lack of software Dolby Home Theater, but all attempts to install it gave rise to a message "pceee is not installed.

    Did anyone of you had similar problems on this laptop in particular?

    TL; DR I would spend devices 5 speakers 3 in peripheral location 5 1 speakers

    TIL: I'm a fool.

    Well, turns out I found that my original drivers for Vista work like a charm.

  • A program to choose which audio device uses

    I saw the same question asked and asked and on many different forums with many different responses, most of which don't really know what was the real problem.

    Is there a way to get the Application use Audio Device 1 and get B asks to use Audio Device 2?

    Before people will tell me how to tell what Audio device to use Windows Media Player or VLC, I KNOW!  It does not help a bit.

    I want to be able to do if the two Application A AND B of the application don't have the ability to select which sound device they use.

    I am running Win 7 64 bit. I have a 5.1 speakers connected to my onboard sound and I have my TV connected to the HDMI connector on my graphics card.

    What I want to achieve is to have the sound of the game I play to get out of my speakers, and the sound for the film I'm streaming come on my TV.
     
    I have not yet found an option in IE, Firefox, every night (64 bit Firefox) or Chrome that allows me to use what audio device they use. Not one that would be important they use other applications like Flash Player or Silverlight to stream the video, or which have an option to choose which audio device they use, although oddly enough I found an option to select what mic was used on a single program...

    The programmers of these two Star Wars: The Old Republic and The Secret World, (the two games I play right now) have neglected to include the ability to choose which Audio device they use in the games options.

    I came across a post suggesting IndieVolume, I thought "Great, the answer to my prayers!", I downloaded the trial version to see if it would work. Installed, open it, looked at GUI, set up... Nothing has changed, did not work.

    There must be a way to do it built-in to Windows or that you would not get the option to select which audio device WMP can use.

    I would have liked to be able to do this easily in Windows 7, because after all was not Windows 7 supposed to be all about doing things you want to do with your PC, so much easier to do? I wish more programmers to understand that it is really necessary for the choice of the audio playback device in their games.

    Until these times there at - it anyone out there that can suggest a program or something that will help reach my goal? Or a way to do within Windows?

    IE and Silverlight are the two Microsoft but they don't give you the option.

    There must be programming in Windows to do can you supposed to have a reading of default communication as a standard device. Surely, that works on the same principle, with various programs that will be run, get recognized by windows as a program of communication and see their directed audio output in an appropriate manner.

    Is there a way to access which programs windows recognizes as a communications program and adding to the list manually?

    Force windows to think that request is a communication program and get the result of requests, the value 1 of Audio device which is defined as the "default communication device".

    Leave the Application B crossing 2 Audio device which is defined as the "Default Device".

  • Satellite L300 17L - audio driver problems

    Audio driver problems, I use Windows XP SP2, I installed the MS patches, but still there is no sound.

    And in the control panel in the sound section says that there is no audio driver installed.

    I need help please!

    Hello!

    It s a known issue and when you search a bit in the forum you will find a large number of publications on this subject.

    Remove the sound card from the Device Manager and the high definition Audio Controller from Device Manager.
    And then update Windows with KB835221 & KB888111 patch, reboot several times, and then you can install the driver from Realtek but download and install Realtek driver directly.

    Good bye

  • audio device not supported Mac 6.1

    I just spent some time on telephone support to adobe tent to solve a problem, but only had a half fix.  I get an error of an audio device not supported on my Mac 6.1.  Nothing would in return play, I tried several fixes online, switching equipment, etc., but he was always pushing an error in audio device not supported (using audio devices in the Mac).  The problem was bypassed, then when we were able to create a global audio device that uses a webcam logitech for a microphone input and audio built-in for output.  Now I was getting sound and the guy said that the problem has been completely resolved and I'm good to go.  So I start to play my audio to the rear, and while it does not play back audio, he locked not able to go up to 44.1 Khz or 48 kHz 16 kHz.  Once I tried to remove the logitech camera is a no go once again.

    Everyone knows about this problem with the latest OSx and CC2015 Premiere Pro?  Is there a solution?  Also, we went in the Library preferences and renamed the 9.0 folder so that it created a new file, preferably without success on PR. (although it has fixed hearing).

    Tried with bars and tone as well as with images.

    Thanks in advance!

    To be more precise, it gave the following error:

    "The device settings could not be applied because the following error occurred:

    The sampling frequency is not supported by the current audio device.

    The last valid device settings will be used.

    SOLUTION

    I just removed my Logitech camera on the computer, and all of a sudden, it works like a charm...  Clogged again and it wouldn't work... unplugged it and it worked again. It seems that if no input is available, output cannot exceed the rate of sample entries (perhaps because of the recording VO feature?  Whatever it is, that fixed it.  If anyone has this problem before they fix it, I hope this will help them.

    Hi @JS2045

    The audio device problem HD, what you see is the Intel HDMI audio device that needs a driver.

    I looked around for a driver W10 to the hardware ID you have published and fails.

    This device is necessary unless you want or need audio via the port display.

    The only suggestion I can offer would be to try the graphics driver Intel W7 laptop support and driver page, but install it... so that you target just the audio device problem...

    Download, but do not work with this graphics driver...

    http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/SWD/public/detail?sp4ts.Oid=4095873 & swItemId = ob_127914_1 & swEnvOid = 4059

    Download and install this free utility for files.  64-bit is the second listed file.

    http://www.7-zip.org/

    After installing 7-zip, do a right-click on the graphic driver file you downloaded, and select 7 - zip in the list of items.

    Have 7-Zip extract of: and let it extract the driver for the name of the folder (sp64360).

    Go to Device Manager and click on the audio device problem Intel HD requiring the driver.

    Click the driver tab.  Click on set to update driver.

    Select her browse my computer for driver software option and navigate to the driver 7-Zip created folder.

    Make sure that the include subfolders is selected and see if the pilot goes like this.

    Then restart.

    If you explore the driver folder 7-zip created, and then open the DisplayAudio folder, you will find the setup information file that has the hardware ID you reported that supported by the driver.

    If this driver audio works on W10, I don't know.

    But if you want to give that a try, it would be a way to do it without messing with the real graphics driver.

  • I have a problem with finding a PnP USB audio device when you search for available audio devices.

    Hello.

    I am building an application that can find a PnP USB audio device and play a tone if the device is connected. I am able to search audio devices using "Sound Device Info.vi" of the lvsound2.llb that comes with labview.

    The vi can find the USB device in good conditions, but there are problems - I'll try to describe 2 scenarios.

    1. the USB device is connected before 'Sound Device Info.vi' is called for the first time.

    In this case, the program can find the USB device. If I unplug it, the device disappears from the list of found audio devices. If I reconnect to the same USB port, it reappears in the list. It's all good.

    If I reconnect it however a new USB port, the device is not found. This is not good.

    2. the USB devices is not connected when 'Sound Device Info.vi' is called for the first time.

    "Sound Device Info.vi" is not able to find the device. Disconnect and reconnect does not make a difference.

    I'm under labview 2012 on windows 7.

    I am running the application as an exe to build.

    I call 'Sound Device Info.vi' as a 'call for reference"and the reference is closed between calls to the vi. I was hoping this would unload the dll used in "Sound Device Info.vi" and would solve the problem, but it didn't.

    Is there a way to reset the information usb labview during execution?

    Concerning

    Stephan.

    Hey Stephan.

    The sounds screws require a DLL located in:

    C:\Program Files (x 86) \National Instruments\LabVIEW 2012\resource\lvsound2.dll

    Internally, LabVIEW uses the DirectX API to enumerate devices. The one caveat is that probe us for devices when loading the DLL. We probe not later. So that it works for Bluetooth, USB, fire wire, etc. devices that can be inserted or removed at any time, you control somehow when this DLL charge and discharge. To do this, please see the following document:

    Dynamically that I can load and unload a DLL in LabVIEW?
