audio stream error in videostudio 8 on Vista

curunir · Post by **curunir** » Wed Nov 22, 2006 8:55 pm

Whenever I try to play a project file, I now get the error:

"Failed to use DirectShow video engine. Cannot play back the audio stream: no audio hardware is available, or the hardware is not responding."
[13102:2:4]

Of course the hardware is working fine (it's built-in sound on an ECS KN1-Lite, Realtec AC '97 audio). There are no errors in any log files I can find, no other programs have problems with the sound.

Am I just SOL? Or is there a way to fix this?

Try downloading the up to date trial version of VS10 and see if that works.

Upon install of UVS 10 Trial version, windows tells me "This program has known compatibility issues". I can't find any details regarding what the issues are or why this message is displayed. The only details are "for more information, Contact Ulead Systems, Inc." (!!)

If I click past all these errors (happens a couple of times), and get to the end of the install, the program will not run at all. I only get "Limit users can not try this product. You can use normally after successful activation."

So it doesn't seem to run at all. Even if I wanted to activate it, I can't get past this message to get to the activation (wherever it may be).

Is this just a Vista issue, or does the "trial" version not do anything?

I looked at my UVS10 box, at the system requirements...it supports Windows XP but does not mention Vista. So..it may be that UVS10 or other versions
were not designed to perform in Vista

Simply put, No VS10, VS10+ and especially VS8 will not function on any beta release of Vista. I don't think Vista will run on Vista...

I would not look for any of Ulead's applications to run properly on Vista until 2008 and that's questionable..

Maybe "properly" is the keyword

but...

And they are talking Vista compatibility testing there.

Yes they are, however the Vista compatible version has not been released yet, so it will not work properly until then.

A compatible version soon which may be working properly in 2008 maybe

?

Before I would rely on programs running smoothly on a new OS, I would wait until the OS has been stabilized. That generally comes from the release of a SP. Just consider how Micro$oft operates, it is at least 6 months from the time of release before any SPs are released.

That, would be most disappointing. I guess we solved the pronunciation of the name now. They don't lead for sure if they are not preparing for a new operating system now are they?

None work on the release version, either. Looks like a DirectX / Sound issue on UVS8. It looks like the "trial" stuff does not work on Vista, either, so I can't really tell if that version will work better. That appears to be more an issue with whatever they are using to time-bomb the trial - it doesn't work right on Vista, so it just won't allow the application to run at all.

So I guess I'll have to wait to upgrade until it's fixed. Nero 6 doesn't work in Vista, either, but version 7 does. I liked version 6 better, though.

Well, they are preparing:

It's just not there yet...

I don't think one should expect Vista support for older product versions IMHO. I'm glad they're making VS10 Vista ready and not forcing Vista users to upgrade to VS11 instead...

While this might on the surface appear to be 'exciting news' (to some)
I hope that this does not become the start of the end of support for XP systems.

If the software has to be modified that heavily to work in VISTA then it is either badly designed or has too much legacy support.

I actually wish Microsoft would just cut the cord on legacy support and move on. Windows needs a clean slate to truly become the operating system it should be and that is very difficult when trying to support old technologies. I'm not an Apple fan but they had the guts to make that decision in OSX. Windows could benefit largely from this. So could other software developers.

I agree, Steve. But, Windows 95/98/ME should be left behind.
