waveopen error

[yingtong]

I am receiving a "waveInOpen:Invalid device Identifier" message when I run a song & "waveinReset:Invalid handle" when I stop the song. Any ideas how to stop this happening.

Thanks

Haven't seen or heard of this one. How about some more information so we can help you track down the problem?
Which Version of Microstudio?
Which operating system (2000, XP or Vista)?
Is you O/S up to date? (This would be done from Microsoft Updates web page, using the Custom Update not the Express.)

Is this happening in Microstudio, or are you trying to play a file with Windows Media Player?

Also where did you get the track from?

Right click on the FILE, click on PROPERTIES, then SUMMARY, and tell us everything it says regarding:

BIT RATE...

AUDIO SAMPLE SIZE...

CHANNELS...

AUDIO SAMPLE RATE...

AUDIO FORMAT...

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.
