[Incompatibility] WASAPI "event driven exclusive mode"

Post by mr.greywater »

First of all. I am not that good in english. So please forgive my faults. If you want, I can describe my problem in german

My Problem is, that I cant enable the recommend "event driven exclusive mode" in the WASAPI OUTPUT Plugin.
Everytime I activate it and play a song, the songs get grey and MediaMonkey switches to the next one.

I have a AMD HD4870 connected over hdmi with my pioneer vsx-921
I installed windows 7 x64 yesterday, so the drivers are all new. I downloaded them on the Realtek and AMD site, so there wont be the Problem. ;D
Windows is up to date and I use the latest MediaMonkey 4 build (4.0.0.1414)

I made a picture with the settings working (Its not the high Bitrate, I also tested it with 16bits/48000Hz)
But... if I set "event driven exclusive mode" all songs went grey and I cant hear anything ;(

Image

Oh I forgot... It changes nothing if I change in windows mode between 2.0 and 5.1 .
And finally... I dont even know what "event driven exclusive mode" makes. So its not that bad ;D

PS.: I am now making a debug log.


edit: LOGFILE
Best you highlight "WASAPI:"

Then you see sth like that:

It probably just means that your sound card drivers don't support event driven exclusive mode, so you need to update the drivers or just not use that feature.

thx, if it works for you, it is just a driver incompatibility.
