Title: Playback could not be started on the output 'WASAPI' using the format '44.1 kHz
Post by: FenceFurniture on June 05, 2016, 03:18:16 am
G'day

Be warned that I'm not all that good with this technical stuff - just like to play tunes!

'cept I can't.

All working nicely for a month, and two days ago after playing 6 tracks from folder "X" I immediately decided to play another 3 tracks, and started getting this error (I changed nothing nowhere no how).

The Exclusive access box is checked, and always has been.

Have restarted computer a few times, but no change.

Youtube plays no problem.

Oh, and the other thing is that I used to be able to adjust volume by the system slider (and I think the application slider), but now I have to do it manually on the external bluetooth speaker which is a real PITA. Have tried checking Application, Internal and System for the hell of it but nothing changes. It's currently Application.

Hmmm. A little weird. I'm using Koss BT540i headphones which double as a headset. Just had a look at Audio Device list and Headset was checked. Changed to Headphones and it works now.

I swear I changed nothing!

Bluetooth isn't super duper reliable.  Your computer might have lost connection to the BT speakers and switched to the other audio device instead.

Yes I've noticed that it can be a bit antsy. Seems to me that Wireless is better (dunno why both are used really). AFAIK Bluetooth is just weaker wireless.
