waveopen error

[yingtong]

Thanks for quick response . The tracks ran perfectly when I tried them, originally, on my desktop PC, using XP. They were ripped from CDG with the intention of running karaoke from a laptop.

The problem has arisen since I bought a new laptop, using Vista. Could this be a problem with the soundcard (Realtek High Definition Audio)? The machine is a PACKARD BELL EasyNote EasyNote MZ36-T026, with onboard sound. It doesn't have a recording function on the computer (although there is a mic input.

sorry - should have said Microstudio 4.001

Why would you rip a .WAV track from a cdg file to play it as Karaoke instead of importing the entire CDG track to the laptop, or aren't we talking about wave files?

Are we talking about CDG tracks that are giving these type error messages...

"waveInOpen:Invalid device Identifier
waveinReset:Invalid handle"

...possibly indicating there is something wrong with the audio portion of the CDG track?

I ripped the files using Microstudio - i.e. as .bin files. As I said previously, the tracks play OK on my desktop, but not on the laptop. I don't think that the problem is with the tracks. It looks as if Microstudio is trying to initiate a wavein command - possibly for recording - & is failing. The track plays once I have closed the message, but I don't want to have to do that for every track.

I'd guess you have analyzed it correctly, or Vista is causing a problem.

Sorry I let the wave portion of the error message cause me to erroniously focus me on a .wav file problem...they call that tunnel vision

Suggest you put in a support ticket, and clearly state the problem. Also give them as much info regarding your system as possible.

Thanks for your help - I've just solved the problem! Installed a programme which contains a wav editor & now do not get the error message!

Thanks again

Must have been missing a dll file for audio, but can't imagine that it should since WMP should load that initially.

I am running Microstudio 4.001 under Vista and I started to get the same dialog box back when I tried to add a file to the playlist. It is not a major problem because the software works just fine.
