Microstudio 4.006a waveInOpen play error in Vista 32-bit

That's a shame. I was going to ask you what kind it was since I have a laptop we use for backup and I am not happy with the headphone output.
Jack, open the registry as before, going through to step 8 but do not delete the folder. Look in the right column and find the key called "CurRecordFolder" and tell me what it says in the right column. If it doesn't have "C:\MTU\Microstudio\Recorded Songs\" right click on the left column "CurRecordFolder and click modify. Change it to the above path.
As to the listing and import folders you can control these from within the program itself. When you open the import there is a place to tell it where to save the imported files. For the main list the Browse button above it controls where you are looking for those.
As for your original problem I am not sure how the sound card can cause those error messages, but I will talk to Support and see what he is thinking on this. If my memory hasn't failed me it was the Realtek sound card that has given the problems. These are usually on-board cards and not worth a plugged nickel anyway. When I got my Dell desktop model a while back they had disabled the on-board and added a Soundblaster card to their machines.

It has the right path already.

Yes, I know that...I just think it's silly for MTU to not have an editable default for these too.

I'm stumped as to why the error message is there at all since the sound does work. I do have on-board Realtek, so it seems that may be the problem, although I don't know why MTU won't put this in their requirements since it's apparently a known problem. I'll try to find a cheap USB sound card and plug it in to see if that fixes the bogus error windows.

I'll report again tomorrow.

this is just a question and maybe even out of the topic, but is your pc/laptop a media center edition?..the reason i asked was i had an ext. soundcard that i used to used and if i can recall i was getting the same error when using microstudio, there are some ext. soundcard that is not compatible with windows media center edition..( sorry i didnt noticed you have vista..)

[jackbsok]

Well the USB sound card didn't help at all, so that solution doesn't work either :(

[ddouglass]

By that I am guessing the error message hasn't gone away. I have been trying to research it on the internet and so far have not found any other solutions.
What types of file are you trying to play (BIN, MP3, WAV, etc) that you get the errors on?

[jackbsok]

Yep, the error messages are still there.

They appear when I play .bin, .mp3, and .zip (I haven't tried any others).

They also appear whenever I hit the record button (which is recording in .wav).

This seems to be an error that pops up WHENEVER the sound card is accessed (whether it's just input, output, or both).

Again, ALL input and output work just fine, it's just that Microstudio produces the error messages every single time FOR NO REAL REASON.

Told MTU about the USB sound card not working, but still no response from them :(

[ddouglass]

When you plugged in the USB sound card did you turn off the internal one? This has to be done in the bios settings.
