Title: can't play cd and can't rip cd in mc 17
Post by: av on May 15, 2012, 08:29:24 am

hi folks

im a new user currently using the 30 day trial - i just love the sound playing back from hard drive - using both asio and wasapi event - into an asus essence stx sound card and analogue out to a valve amp - just superb!!

however i must be doing something wrong as every time i try to burn or rip a cd mc17 just freezes and i get a windows message the the program has stopped responding - i have to reboot as i cant even shut it down

i am able to both play and rip cds using windows media player without a problem

my system is - windows 7 64 bit pro - 3930k cpu - asus p9x79 pro motherboard - pioneer bdr 207bk  blu ray burner --- the only other programs are adobe production premium and kaspersky - i have checked in kaspersky firewall and mc17 is ticked as having access

also i have uninstalled mc17 and reinstalled as administrator - also i have tried stopping auto import and also unchecked windows media player so it is not the default cd player - but still without success

sometimes i am able to rip song 1 and then it stops when i get to song 2 - sometimes it stops halfway thru song 1 - cd playback is less successful as after mc 17 briefly buffers it only plays for maybe 5 or 10 seconds then just freezes

i would really love to get this sorted out as the sound im getting playing back from hard drive is just beautiful

hope someone can advise - cheers

Welcome.  It's likely to be another program causing the problem.  Uninstall your virus checker to test.  Kaspersky has caused problems in the past.

You might start by turning on logging in help/logging after a crash go back into the logging window and click view next to previous log.
Do a search for crash in the log and post that line as well as a few before and after it here.

What other software do you have that accesses the drive?  Nero?

the only other program is windows media centre - nero has never been installed - -

Could you send a complete log file to "johnt at jriver dot com" after you try and fail to rip a track?
Thanks!

Update - i installed a second optical drive - an asus drw-24bst and everything plays and rips fine with that - and the audio quality is great in secure mode - seems like mc and the above mentioned pioneer blu ray drive arent talking to each just yet - im happy that it only cost $21 to get everything fixed - whats the best way of knowing when a patch file or update to mc makes my blu ray drive compatible? - cheers

Thanks for updating us on the situation.  I sent you a link to a small test program to try running with your blu-ray drive.
