Author Topic: Windows 10, After opening JRiver Flash videos in browser wont play normally  (Read 4391 times)

As of late opening JRiver causes issues with my machine, its been happening for around a month.
If I open JRiver, keep it open or close it, flash videos just freeze up in Chrome, I can see the picture of the video, but once I click play, the slider doesn't move, it sticks. 
Also I can't get windows sound to play after JRiver has been opened.  It's not that I can't hear it, it just doesn't initialize.  For example, opening "Playback devides" right clicking my default sound card "SPEAKERS" and clicking "TEST" doesn't even show the little green animation that its playing audio.
The only workaround is to log off and log back on, or restart.

I've looked in process explorer, JRiver is closed. And restarting Chrome (including closing all Chrome.exe processes) does nothing to help.  Firing up Internet explorer, Youtube videos do play, however it plays at approx 1 frame per 3 seconds.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

And to add to this problem im facing, Windows 10 start button and icons in task manager and other Windows 10 apps lock up after JRiver has been opened/closed.
I have to restart explorer.exe to get things working again.  I know this has already been mentioned as a Windows 10 issue.  Unfortunately, restarting explorer doesn't help with the Flash or Sound issue though.

The start button problem is a Windows 10 bug.  Please read what glynor has to say here:

Thanks Jim,

The windows explorer thing aint such a big thing as I can easily work around that one, but having to log off just to get sound back or Flash videos to play, this is bothering me slightly.

I just opened "Services.msc" restarted "Windows Audio" and sound is back, Flash videos seem to play, no restart needed.  At least I've found a workaround.

It looks like opening JRiver is somehow locking up my sound device??

  • Long cold Winter...

Sounds like either using WASAPI exclusive or ASIO output, or you're using the WDM driver.

As a start, try disabling the WDM Driver in MC's Options > General > Features section and reboot the PC.

Hi, Wdm driver is already unticked. 

Thanks
