Title: ConvolverVST Install Problem
Post by: lasker98 on November 16, 2011, 06:05:40 pm
Hello,
I'm having a problem installing convolverVST in J River MC16 running
on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. This is a dedicated music player with no
soundcard. Audio is output through USB to USB to S/PDIF converter to
DAC.
When I try to add plug-in, J River just locks up. I have to go into
task manager and stop the process PackageInstaller.exe*32. As soon as
this process is stopped, J River is fully functional again, but no
convolverVST has been added to plugins.
I tried installing convolverVST in J River on another more normal
computer, Windows XP Pro x32 with soundcard and it installed
flawlessly.
Any suggestions or help will be very appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill

Having no sound card might be a problem.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the reply. I have onboard audio on the motherboard. I never installed the audio drivers at the time of original setup. I did try installing the audio drivers to see if that made a difference but still have the same problem.
I have an Acer headless Windows Home Server computer that I use for music storage and is set up as the J River music server for my other computers. This computer has no audio card or onboard audio at all. I installed convolverVST on it with no problem at all.
Thanks again,
Bill

Be sure to read about WHS2011 problems.  There is a thread on the MC17 board.

I'm sorry I can't help with the convolver problem.

Hi Jim,

The WHS version I have is an earlier one (it just shows as Windows Home Server in properties).

Thanks,

Bill
