However, it is interesting that you don't have an ASPI as most programs (MTU's do) require this to read/write to a burner. |

dsmail,
The only thing that can cause this to happen that I am aware of is that your operating system is missing some of the updates. To fix this, connect this computer to the Internet, click the Start Menu\Windows Update. Once this page comes up click Scan for Updates. Then add every update that you can, tell it to install them. Once this is done, Reboot the computer, rerun the Windows Update over and over until all of the Updates have been installed and no more show. You should then beable to run Vogone.

Dsmail,
Try Running the DXdiag as described in this FAQ: http://www.mtu.com/kb/index.php?page..._v2&id=18&c=13 You can attach this .txt file to this post, so that we can view it on here. This would be the best. Also you might try updating your Audio Drivers from Creative from: http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/ Let me know when you try this what happens.

I would agree with GDUNS. This sounds like the best next step to try. It does seem that for some reason the program is just not seeing your Sound Card.
Do you have a Sound Card that is also built onto your motherboard? If you have this on the motherboard, but not disabled in the Motherboard Bios, yet the drivers are not installed in Windows. I am not sure what might happen, but if the program is looking at this card and it is not working right. One way to find out is to Right click on your My Computer Icon, Left click Properties. Click the Hardware Tab (XP or 2000), click the Device Manager button. Check under Other Devices and make sure there is no other Sound Card showing up. Then also look under the Sound Devices, and make sure that the only card showing is the Creative Card that you are posting about.

I found something Yesterday in some of the Microsoft code, that might cause this from the DirectSound that we use. I would also think that this could be fixed by putting a new sound card in the system. I would get any newer Sound Blaster board. Make sure the board that you get supports DirectX.
It seems that you can get this if your board doesn't support Hardware Buffering. This may be what your problem is, and is alot simpler than reformatting the computer and reloading.

Dsmail,
Yes that Sound Blaster Live card should work. We have a few of those in computers here at the office and they do work correctly.

We also have the Live cards in the Abit Motherboards with Via Chipsets here at the office. The model that we used was the VH6T boards. So you should have no problems.

Dsmail,
Thank you for letting us know what the problem was. This is very odd that you would have problems with a program such as Cool Edit Pro, but there is a very tight spec on the .wav file format. They have caused us grief, by being out of spec in the past. You are correct about the error, I had not ever had anyone tell me this same problem due to your Cause. I will make sure that we make note of this, and try to change the error messages in the program.

My two cents
Just saw this thread.
I have had similar messages when other programs (jukeboxes, etc.) were also using the music files. Are all other programs turned off when you get this message? If the answer is "Of course, ya' big galoot!!!" then I hope you enjoy your new sound card. Good Luck |

Chiming In a Little More Seriously
You said your sound card works fine with other programs, Microstudio Play, etc.
The only way I can get this error message, with an installed sound card, is when another program is using the files. I use windows 98 and I know how to turn off programs. (I'm not sure how to do it with XP) Are you sure that all other non-essential programs are turned off when you try to use vogone? |

a new installation
I would agree with gduns & George and to be honnest, I would start all over and reinstall Windows in the C drive in NTFS than get all updates on the Microsoft site EXCEPT audio & video which you need to get from ATI & Creative.
If you do have an audio card that's already on the motherboard it's always better to cancel from the Bios but the Creative driver will still take control of you PCI 128. A bit of work but it's the way I would do it! Good Luck |

Most of the problems I had was with the EAX software and the Creative Player/Recorder. I know that the Live Value is one model that is not working properly with the latest updates. I would spend a little more an get at least the Audigy1 and that card is not supported on the Microsoft Update site so this way you will be certain to have the driver coming from Creative! Regards |

Directory
My guess is that the fact you have Windows installed on the D drive might be part of the reason?
By default, when you install any software of drivers it will go in the C drive and perhaps you have drivers or software installed in the wrong directory which would explain this problem? I would still recommend a fresh new installation on the C drice in NTFS this time but again, it's just a suggestion and it's what I would do because your setup is still not normal. Regards |

Well, at this point I would say you would have nothing to loose to try........ uninstall hardware... sound card, and all drivers, and do a fresh install from the original disk.
It is possible that the drivers may have been corrupted, or are in a strange place. I noticed your windows was on the D: drive, which is unusual. it is usually on the c: drive. Please when you do resolve this problem let us know to help others. |

I am no expert on this, But I think the soundblaster pci was one of the very first soundblaster cards when pci came out many years ago. possibly 10 before they even thought about direct x I would almost be suspicious that it isnt direct x compatible. there are some of the diagnostics it gave a n/a to. could possibly changing to a soundblaster audiology oem which I've seen as cheap as $35-50 make a difference?

I had to check the spelling myself and you are right. I was spelling it the way the techs pronounce it here. I would suggest against the soundblaster live and for the Audigy either 1 or 2 simply because some motherboards have had problems with the "Live" card. I have one such motherboard at home that the soundblaster live is not compatible with. it's a gigabyte, but I understand there are others that have a compatibility problem with this card.

No Sound Card installed
Hi,
I've just purchased and installed latest version of Vogone only to be told by the program that I have no sound card installed and I should install one now. Hmm? Obviously I do have a sound card which runs fine with all aspects of my PC running XPP. Can anyone point me in the right direction to sort this out. Thanks Dave |

Thanks for your prompt response. As you must well know, there are many updates for windows XP and I'd be reluctant to install "every" update as many of them relate to parts of the OS I never use like "messenger" for example. Surely you don't mean to include all these. I visit the update sight on a regular basis and reckon I'm pretty up to date but I'll another look. Do ASPI driver effect Vogone as I notice that other programmes you offer DO relate to these drivers and I noticed that a diagnostis utility I use reported no ASPI drivers installed on my system.
Thanks Dave |

I went along to windows update and installed everything available as you suggested, but this made no difference, I still get the missing sound device error message followed by the message that Vogone must now close. There is an error log text file that is generated by Vogone. Would posting that help. What are my options to get Vogone running, as so far I haven't managed to anything with it.
