    I’ve noticed that these forums have gone a little quiet, but I just thought that I would mention that my recent Windows Vista update (Service Pack 2) appears to have caused Breakaway to stop functioning.

    Breakaway couldn’t get the main client to load and it would only load the GUI. When I uninstalled BA and reset my sound to default it worked fine.

    Just thought I would put this out there. I love BA by the way: It’s an awesome and incomparable product that I’ve been using for years.

    Okay, so I tried to reinstall the latest version of BA, and it worked fine right up until I got out of the setup wizard (I could hear the test tone and everything). When the program went to startup it gives me the same error I was getting before:

    quote :

    Error starting audio engine:
    DSoundManager::Initialize failed: 88780078

    After I click "Ok"; it takes me to the settings window and I try to run the test tone again. The GUI gives me an error in that little grey window:

    quote :

    Child process not responding.

    It suggests that I turn off the "Audio Realtime Priority", and when I do this and try to run the test tone again it gives me this error in the GUI (same as above):

    quote :

    DSoundManager::Initialize failed: 88780078

    I then went to change the test mode to "loud tone", and I got an APPCRASH:

    It’s important for me to note that I did not change anything about my desktop environment with Breakaway except for when I installed Vista SP2, and it appears to be the only program that is having any kind of problem with it (knock on wood).

    Maybe it’s time for a software update for BA?

    Wow!

    Thanks for the bug report — it’s definitely time for an update. Once I get home from my travels I will install Vista SP2 on a machine and start debugging.

    I apologize for any inconvenience. For now as a workaround, see if you can run it with Audio Realtime Priority OFF, and Wave instead of DS.

    Best regards,

    I hope BBP works fine on Windows 7 too, i thought i red somewhere it did. I am going to install Windows 7 clean on my "live" pc if the cheap student version becomes available :mrgreen: Maybe somebody here already did test that?
