Hi there,
My Win8.1/12.2 setup has been working fine for a week or so but last night a movie just hung on me 3/4 of the way though and would not resume. It's a known good file that I've watched before. I had to use task manager to shut XBMC down.
Now I can't play any audio and any attempt to do so, or to change the audio settings results in a XBMC hang that requires the task to be killed. Nothing is reported at the end of the debug logs (i.e. the logging stops as the system hangs) however I now see this in the log at startup (edited, non-consecutive lines):
No changes have been made to my system recently so I assume the problem is local to XBMC (VLC still plays all media fine). Any tips or pointers? I've read the audio sticky in this forum but since I can't change any audio settings in XBMC it's a bit difficult to try the various approaches.
I'll reinstall XBMC later but thought I'd see if there was any existing knowledge around this error beforehand?
Thanks.
