Just upgraded to MC26 (from MC25), and SoundSpectrum Aeon and G-Force no longer respond to music. It loads, just doesn’t recognize MC's input to drive the display. Numerous forum searches for a similar issue turned up nothing… Is this a known problem? Or is this issue unique to me? I am using:
• 64-bit Windows Home, v1909
• 32-bit 26.0.98 (32 vs 64 specifically so I can continue to use Milkdrop2, which still works perfectly in MC26)
• 32-bit Sound-Spectrum: Aeon 3.73 Platinum / G-Force 5.42 Platinum
I am able to switch between MC26 and MC25 (as both were installed simultaneously). After a given SoundSpectrum reinstall/reboot, switching from cover view to SoundSpectrum immediately shows a dialogue that says “MC26 encountered an unusual problem and needed to terminate”. After another reinstall round, the plug-ins would be back to launching, but not responding to music. I have cycled through this process several times, including full uninstalls with clean re-installs of SoundSpectrum.
To make matters even more confusing, I can launch SoundSpectrum standalone which does respond to music, though I first have to go into the windows sound panel and turn the input levels to maximum (otherwise it behaves as if there is no music input). With the levels at maximum, it does respond, but is noticeably less pronounced compared to what it is typically. And when I relaunch J River, the input levels drop back from 100% to 50% automatically, and I have to max out the levels each time I switch between standalone and plug-in. I ended up fully uninstalling MC25 (including registry entries) in the hopes that maybe there was some sort of conflict between its two versions causing the issue, but still no luck, so I did a full uninstall, and clean install of MC26 (and SoundSpectrum), but again, still no luck.
The problem definitely seems to be with 26, as it worked perfectly with the same computer and same set up for 25. I await feedback pointing out some obvious thing I’ve forgotten to take into account. Thanks in advance!
